NRG stand alone atop of the Rocket League<\/a> Championship Series regular-season standings and they do so in style after their latest victory.<\/p>\n

Beating G2 Esports 4-2, NRG is now a two-time Major Champion winning both the Winter and Spring tournaments.<\/p>\n

The world-class squad took advantage of an open net after a gruelling 10:22 OT in Game 6 to seal the deal.<\/p>\n

NRG walks away as the secured number one seed in the RLCS X Championships<\/a> as G2 clinches their participation<\/a> in the last regular-season event with their runner-up performance.<\/p>\n

G2 Esports finally made their presence felt in a regional or major final since the start of the RLCS Season X as NRG returned for another shot at the gold.<\/p>\n

The series was immediately going the samurais’ way after taking Game 1 with a classic one-two combo from Reed “Chicago” Wilen and Jacob “JKnaps” Knapman.<\/p>\n

The lead, however, would not last long as NRG took the next three games, even winning the third instalment in the series in overtime, foreshadowing the Spring Major finale.<\/p>\n

Justin “jstn” Morales, who has opted out of playing<\/a> in the Olympics’ esports event, was on a roll during the whole match on both sides of the pitch. <\/p>\n

Securing their net and dropping their match-point showing, G2 Esports took the series to Game 7 where NRG would topple them in 15 straight minutes of Rocket League, making their opponents leave empty-handed yet again.<\/p>\n

For a change, the Grand Finals had two teams who were a part the same group during the first day of the Major, Group B that is.<\/p>\n

The group of death, as many called it, included G2 Esports, NRG, FaZe Clan, Version1 and Retals-less Spacestation Gaming<\/a>.<\/p>\n
