Sources: Jimmy "Marved" Nguyen, former star Controller player of team Sentinels, has reached a verbal agreement with NRG.
Marved, most known for his time playing for the Optic core that won VCT Masters: Reykjavik 2022, joined the overhauled Sentinels roster during the organization's run in the VCT 2023: Americas season as their 6th man after the temporary suspension of player Hunter "SicK" Mims.
Marved eventually needed to step up to play for the team to substitute for TenZ due to COVID and a hand injury. However, once Rory "Dephh" Jackson was removed from the roster, TenZ returned and Marved picked up the IGL role as he lead the team to a 4-5 ending score for the season. Marved also stayed alongside the squad for LCQ, winning their initial match against 100 Thieves before falling to Cloud9 in the Upper Semifinals and being knocked out of contention for the shot at champions by Leviatan in Lower Round 1.
Marved has reached a verbal agreement with NRG after landmark roster moves including the team's storied IGL Pujan "FiNESSE" Mehta and Controller player Sam "s0m" Oh both stepping away from competition to focus on personal brands on Twitch. Marved would be returning to competition with players Austin "crashies" Roberts and Victor "Victor" Wong along with having Chet "Chet" Singh at the helm, all of whom he is familiar with as teammates during his run in Reykjavik 2022 where Optic beat LOUD in the Grand Finals 3-0 to lift the trophy.
The current NRG roster is:
Austin "crashies" Roberts
Victor "Victor" Wong
Jimmy "Marved" Nguyen
Chet "Chet" Singh (Coach)
