ctober 31rd, SK Telecom become the first team to win the World Championships 2 times. This marks the end of the 2015 season… but it also marks the beginning of the preseason and thus the beginning of months of reconstruction for certain teams and little adjustments for others. It also opens discussions about the future of certains organizations, old and new ones.

Yesterday, the November 16^th, has been the witness of the second biggest announcement after the Yilian “Doublelift” Peng saga.

Indeed, Andy Miller and Mark Mastrov, both co-owners of the NBA team, Sacramento Kings, grew in interests for the world of Esports and they decided to bought the ex-Team Coast LCS Spot for the 2016 season.

This purchase has led to the separation of 4 former-players from Coast and left Kevin “Konkwon” Kwon has the sole survivor.

Despite the loss of 4 great players, NRG has managed to form a team of monstrous talent by bringing into the team an ex-world champion known as Impact who has ruled his toplane with perfect strength and intelligence in the past. And it doesn’t stop there, NRG has also managed to recruit 2 others well-known players in the LoL pro scene. Indeed, both Johnny “Altec” Ru and Lee “GBM” Chang-Suk joined the team as starter Midlaner and as AD Carry. Finally, the staff of NRG decided to give a chance to a rookie, in the person of Galen “Moon” Holgate, who has shown a lot of promises with Team Imagine this year despite their loss against Team 8 in the Promotion Tournament.

Besides of the changes in the roster, the main staff of NRG will also be composed of History Teacher as GM, Charlie as the Head Coach and Hermit as the Strategic Coach. Those 3 will be accompanied in this adventure by 5 other peoples who will be helping the team in many ways.

This marks the start of a New Era. This will turn upside down the rankings. This team is ready to bring chaos in the North America LCS. It’s the beginning of a new book.
