NRG rifler Michael “Grim” Vins assessed the recent match against SINNERS Esports in an interview at the IEM Cologne Major 2026.
On the match against SINNERS Esports
To be honest, we played very well on defense. I think we only lost one round; our rotations were excellent. We found our rhythm pretty early on, and then played cautiously in a number of situations.
On br0’s performance
br0 played very well, and that helped us a lot; he got several multi-kills.
On the match against GamerLegion
We could have easily beaten GamerLegion, but we didn’t manage to do so, losing twice in 2v2 situations.
Earlier, NRG defeated SINNERS Esports in the second round of the first stage of the IEM Cologne Major 2026. The match took place on Nuke, where the North American squad pulled ahead with a score of 13-6.
