NRG FNS fragged hard on Abyss with a team composition featuring Harbor and VYce in 2024, but also cooks Gen G because NRG took down Gen G in the final of the Super League 3 and a 134 on Abyss with that comp. This leads to a question: are NRG the offseason champions, and will they win an internal tournament in 2025? All signs point towards Valorant NRG returning to top form and emerging as one of the favorites.

Harbor and Yoru Ult Coordination Against Gen G (Valorant Nrg Vs GenG) 
This approach executes a B split with the Yoru ult coming down, and NRG moves in with MaT visible. The plan involves droning up B Main and then sending Yoru ult in the opposite direction of the main attacking force. This method ensures immunity to danger and provides additional information about the rest of the map. The defenders cannot easily guess the plan since four on-site defenders remain focused elsewhere. NRG employs neat Raze nade lineups, which gained enhanced effectiveness after recent buffs. Although the Astra of k1Ng remains initially unseen, NRG manages to glimpse Foxy9, who quickly faces a triple pinch. Foxy9 stands doomed because NRG surrounds that position from multiple angles.

Executing A Splits With Crafted Strategies
Skipping ahead a few rounds, NRG executes another interesting A split. NRG appears to have invested time into developing this composition and prepares clever strats. A kill on Tex early distracts defenders. Harbor’s wall pushes forward, while Omen’s smoke and a well-timed Raze nade lineup combine to create a diversion. The kill on Tex forces Munchkin to focus on A Main, leaving other parts of the map less guarded. Harbor’s wall placement, although hard to visualize perfectly, likely helps cover certain angles. The Sova ult targets Munchkin’s position. The one slight oversight involves the spike carrier, who ideally should be FNS instead of Sova. Still, the overall idea impresses as Omen’s flash and Sova’s ult sync perfectly. Munchkin somehow gets a kill he should not, but NRG still holds advantageous positions.

Mid-Round Adjustments and Creative Solutions
Later, Valorant Nrg showcases mid-round adjustments. After taking mid control, the spike ends up in an awkward spot. Initially, it seems challenging to decide where to commit, as smokes start to fade and both sides hesitate. NRG creates a clever fake by using Yoru’s TP to simulate a B split. This action sends out a Yoru clone, a flash, and a Cascade to sell the fake. Meanwhile, NRG rotates the spike back towards A. This innovative solution applies mid-round problem-solving at a high level. The result involves drawing Gen G’s focus towards one part of the map, then swiftly switching to another. Once again, NRG relies on Yoru ult to gather information and safely take site control.

Chaotic A Hits and Full-Site Control
Round number 11 produces a pure chaos scenario. NRG commits to an A hit with another Yoru ult. The Raze nade lineups again appear, ensuring defenders cannot flood back in. Stacking Harbor’s slows and Raze’s nade lineups denies Gen G any quick retake options. NRG prefers a full 5v5 post-plant scenario on the site. Then, NRG aggressively attacks heaven to expand map control. Once heaven falls to NRG, Gen G cannot mount a proper retake. Yoru ult, Harbor’s Cove, Harbor’s walls, and Raze nade lineups consume precious time and create insurmountable obstacles. Although Gen G tries admirably, too much time slips away as they attempt to navigate these layers of utility.
