NRG Esports is an American esports organization, formed after co-owners of the NBA's Sacramento Kings purchased the LCS spot of Team Coast.
History[edit]
Before the Overwatch League, NRG Esports fielded a North American roster that saw moderate success, notably placing in the top 4 of the APAC Premier 2016 LAN in Shanghai. On July 12th, 2017, NRG announced that they had purchased a spot in the Overwatch League, and formed the San Francisco Shock.[1][2]
Following the announcement of the revamped Overwatch Contenders 2018, the Shock established an academy team that revived the NRG Esports name. This roster achieved moderate success in Contenders, and many players were signed to Overwatch League teams, including Rascal's promotion to the Shock.
On May 8th, 2019, NRG announced that they would no longer field an Overwatch Contenders roster.[3] The Shock continuted to compete until the end of the Overwatch League, but disbanded afterward.
NRG returned to Overwatch at the Overwatch Champions Series 2024 Dallas Major with their acquisition of the Students of the Game roster, who would play under the name NRG Shock.
