Lep and Kronik depart as NTMR signs seeker, NenWhy, and squid
NTMR signs Alex “seeker” Taylor, Ryan “squid” Ruffell, Aiden “NenWhy” Mchenry, and Ju “EmolGa” Gi-woong, and parts ways with Joseph “Lep” Cambriani and Rocco “Kronik” Iacobacci.
The NTMR roster sees multiple arrivals and departures ahead of the Overwatch Champions Series (OWCS) 2025 Stage 3 and their journey to the 2025 World Finals in Stockholm. Most recently, NTMR loaned out their roster and achieved 9th to 12th place in the Midseason Championship under the Sign Esports label.
After an impressive display by 🇺🇸 Lep and 🇺🇸 Kronik in the Midseason Championship, the pair were picked up by Spacestation Gaming (SSG). NTMR had previously defeated SSG during the OWCS Stage 2 Regional Playoffs, causing SSG to miss out on participating in the Midseason Championship.
Despite losing two of their star performers on Aug. 15, NTMR announced their roster for OWCS 2025 Stage 3, revealing a few additions of their own to complement their existing squad.
seeker returns to NTMR after playing for SSG during the first two stages of OWCS. He had last played for NTMR during the last two stages of OWCS 2024, culminating in their 5th-6th finish in the 2024 World Finals.
NTMR has also added two new support players to its roster. NenWhy has switched over from Extinction, and squid rejoins his ex-teammates from Timeless Luke “Lukemino” Fish and Julian “Rokit” Pizana. Lukemino’s and squid’s support duo partnership goes even further back to early 2024, where the pair played together for Luminosity Gaming. NTMR will be relying on squid and Lukemino’s synergy as they look to repeat their Stage 2 achievements by qualifying for the 2025 World Finals Major in Stockholm.
Finally, EmolGa joins up NTMR’s current coaching duo of Will “Slippery” Maguire and Ahn “SEON” Seon-bin. This marks EmolGa’s coaching debut.
The current NTMR line-up is:
- Michael “RhynO” Willoughby – Tank
- Ryan “Painkiller” Cooper – Tank
- Julian “Rokit” Pizana – Damage
- Alex “seeker” Taylor – Damage
- Luke “Lukemino” Fish – Support
- Aidan “NenWhy” Mchenry – Support
- Ryan “squid” Ruffell – Support
