hallzerk and Jeorge Join NRG as oSee Benched After 2026 Form Collapse
NRG Esports have signed Håkon ‘hallzerk’ Fjærli and returned Jeorge ‘Jeorge’ Endicott to their active CS2 roster, with Josh ‘oSee’ Ohm moved to the bench and the spot vacated by Alexander ‘br0’ Bro – who was acquired by Eternal Fire – now filled by the returning Endicott, as confirmed by HLTV.org on July 9, 2026.
hallzerk had been inactive since February, when Passion UA benched him to make room for Santino ‘try’ Rigal. He averaged a 1.10 rating across his stints at Passion UA and Complexity, and the move to NRG reunites him with Michael ‘Grim’ Wince, his former Complexity teammate. Jeorge, meanwhile, had been benched by NRG at the end of February to create room for Grim, and spent recent months in North America playing for Voca – posting a 1.18 rating over 55 maps before this recall.
oSee Out After Form Collapse in 2026
oSee’s exit ends a two-and-a-half year stint with NRG. He averaged a 1.11 rating during that run, but the numbers were propped up by domestic competition. On LAN in 2026 he dropped to a 1.02, then fell further to ratings of 0.79, 0.86, and 0.85 at IEM Atlanta, the CS Asia Championships, and the Cologne Major respectively – a trajectory that made the AWP position unsustainable heading into the second half of the season.
NRG’s Confirmed Roster
Active roster
- Nick ‘nitr0’ Cannella
- Aran ‘Sonic’ Groesbeek
- Michael ‘Grim’ Wince
- Jeorge ‘Jeorge’ Endicott
- Håkon ‘hallzerk’ Fjærli
- Coach: Damian ‘daps’ Steele
- Benched: Josh ‘oSee’ Ohm
The hallzerk–Grim axis is the clearest upside argument here, given the demonstrated chemistry from their Complexity days. Whether that translates quickly enough to reverse NRG’s 2026 slide – which included a 25th-place finish at the Cologne Major – is the question that will define this rebuild’s success. For context on how other top CS2 orgs are navigating similar roster pressure, the Aurora CS2 roster rebuild and the broader tier-one transfer market show NRG are far from alone in aggressive mid-season restructuring.
