NRG Eports makes its first FGC singings beyond Super Smash Bros. by grabbing two of the hottest DBFZ players today!
Founded in 2015 and long-known for their exploits in Super Smash Bros., For Honor, Rocket League, Overwatch and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, NRG Esports has now reached into the FGC by picking up Steve “SuperNoon” Carbajal and Summit of Power East Coast qualifier Eduardo “HookGangGod” Deno to compete in Dragon Ball FighterZ.
Known for his frenetic Kid Buu play — backed up by Cell and Super Saiyan Vegeta — Supernoon’s accomplishments in FighterZ include placing 7th at Dragon Brawl, 5th at CenCal Standoff, 3rd at NCR and 9th at Wednesday Night Fights West Coast Summit of Power Qualifier, (which has made him eligible for nomination into the SoP’s voting process), as well as several WNF victories. He is also an extremely accomplished player in both Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.
HookGangGod has also made quite the splash in FighterZ, getting 17th at Winter Brawl 12, 5th in the Microsoft Battle for the Belt Bracket, and 2nd at both Bum’s Birthday Bash and the East Coast Next Level Battle Circuit Summit of Power Qualifier, falling both times to Echo Fox|Sonic Fox. Considered one of the world’s best Piccolos and even currently holding the #1 Online Rank on PSN, he’ll certainly be someone to watch out for in the future.
Both players will begin representing NRG at Super TSB in New York on Saturday, April 28th. You can see tweets from all three parties below. On behalf of everyone here at Shoryuken, we’d like to congratulate both players and wish them all the best of luck in the future!
New FighterZ have entered the NRG ring!
