When NRG eSports was founded in November 2015, their roster was greeted by plenty of fan hype and expectation as many predicted they would swiftly rise as a top team in the North American LCS.

Time would eventually wear away the shine on the squad, and a disappointing 5th-6th place finish would be the final nail in the coffin. Since then, NRG has decided to start with a clean slate, re-building a nearly entirely new roster for the upcoming summer season.

However, the memories of NRG's failed inaugural split remain for all the players who lived it — only a day after their 3-0 loss at the hands of Team Liquid in the playoffs, theScore esports sat down with the team's spring split roster to find out just what went wrong to make NRG eSports go from potential powerhouse to power out.

Altec: 'Compared to other seasons, I think it's the worst I've ever played'

KonKwon: 'Our communication problems got better and worse at the same time'

Moon: 'After getting 3-0'd I was just really sad. Walking off the stage, [it felt like] all the work was just gone [and] now there's nothing left'

Impact: 'I started to tilt more often'

GBM: 'We know about what's wrong with us and what's wrong with our team and what we have to do...next split'
