After a tumultuous two years with Evil Geniuses, Timothy "autimatic" Ta, the seasoned NA rifler, has found a new home with NRG. The move comes as part of NRG's strategic overhaul following disappointing performances, notably their failure to qualify for the PGL Major Copenhagen and struggles in online qualifiers.

autimatic's Journey

Autimatic's journey in competitive CS:GO traces back to his time with TSM in 2016, where he emerged alongside talents like Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken and Pujan "FNS" Mehta.

However, it was his tenure with Cloud9 that solidified his status as a top-tier rifler in the North American circuit.

He has managed to win a number of international trophies. But the most prestigious one will always be the ELEAGUE Boston Major 2018.

However, a stint with Gen.G, primarily as an AWPer, yielded limited success, prompting a brief detour into Valorant before his return to Counter Strike with Evil Geniuses in 2022. Despite high expectations, autimatic's tenure with Evil Geniuses was marred by organizatiownal issues and lackluster results.

Strategic Revamp for NRG

Autimatic's signing aims to inject fresh momentum into NRG's roster, filling the void left by the departure of Justin "FaNg" Coakley. With the team seeking a resurgence, the addition of autimatic brings experience and firepower to the squad.

NRG's roster transformation extends beyond autimatic's arrival. Colby "Walco" Walsh steps in as the new IGL, taking over from Damian "daps" Steele, who transitions to the head coach role. The shake-up reflects NRG's commitment to tactical refinement and performance enhancement.

NRG's New Lineup

NRG's lineup now comprises:

Josh "oSee" Ohm
Vincent "Brehze" Cayonte
Jadan "HexT" Postma
Timothy "autimatic" Ta
Colby "Walco" Walsh

Damian "daps" Steele assumes the coaching responsibilities for the team, offering his strategic insights and leadership from the sidelines.

CS2 Major Revenue Share Changes Are Pushing Organizations Away from Counter-Strike

Valve’s new CS2 Major revenue share ties sticker income to VRS and final placement, removing capsule‑style payouts and concentrating money among top finishers. The result: higher volatility for clubs that relied on sticker cheques, early roster cuts like Gaimin Gladiators, and a narrower field of sustainable CS2 organizations unless the payout model changes.
