I've been holding onto this for some time as I know the truth. I have been working in NRG's team operations for 2 years now.

It all started after we won the Sen City Classic and we went out as a team in LA. Verno asked Pujan if he wanted to grab some street meat from a hotdog stand. Pujan had never had a hotdog before, and despite being reluctant he ordered one.

I used some of the tournament winning and ordered up 9 hotdogs for everyone with us in the group.

Something changed in Pujan's eyes after his first bite. He said something along the lines of "Wow, this is incredible"

It wasn't anything concerning at the time, because yeah, the hotdogs were good. These were 9 inch hotdogs and Verno being a thin guy could only eat 6 inches of his dog, so he tossed the remaining 3 inches in the grass for some birds. Jan saw this and screamed "WHAT THE FUCK??? WHY DIDNT YOU COMMUNICATE WITH ME?? I COULD HAVE EATEN IT"

We all thought Jan was being his typical troll self but he seemed really upset. The rest of the night he was a little quiet.

Over the next couple weeks Jan was only showing up to practice and not responding outside of practice to anyone. Not Sam, not Bonk, not anyone. Verno also seemed a little more recluse than usual. We did the SOOP tournament and Jan was really hard on Verno during it.

We didn't see him until the first game of Kickoff on stage where he showed up noticed he had ketchup/mustard stains on his Jersey. You can actually see this in the VOD of game 1 on the stage.

Jan had me order a hotdog heated roller and keep fresh ones on there backstage in the team room, so I did. After they lost the first map and came back Jan immediately went to make himself a hotdog. He didn't contribute to the team conversation while he obsessed over the dog. When he was asked if he had anything to say he just belittled me for not bringing "the 9 inch dogs". I couldn't find anything bigger than the regular 5 inch hotdogs at the store. Verno tried to speak up and bring the conversation back on the Map, but Jan who was clearly frustrated about the hotdog situation said to Verno "What the fuck do you know?" Jan clearly hadn't moved passed the 3inch incident after Sen City Classic.

Apparently this stuck a nerve with Verno and he didn't com a single thing in Map 2. NRG lost map 2 and Jan became extremely angry that he didn't get a second map break to eat more hotdogs. He blamed this all on Verno for not communicating during the match, thus making less opportunities for Jan to eat hotdog between maps.

Over the next 2 games of kickoff Jan made it his goal to extend the games to map 3 so he can have 2 hotdog breaks.

When NRG got eliminated, Verno internalizated all the verbal hotdog abuse over the couple months, but was conflicted because he introduced Jan to hotdogs and thus fielded his addiction.

Jan told Verno to fuck off as he went for a bite of a hotdog loaded with ketchup, and Verno snapped. Verno punched Jan in the shoulder right as he bit down on his dog.

Verno's skinny arm fractured on impact, and he bruised his own knuckle. Jan got ketchup dribble on his chin, and exclaimed "now I look like a Busta"

It was here that Verno was fired, along with the benching of Bonk who shortly after tried to organize a intervention to address the hotdog addiction.

This is the true story.
