Justin "just9n" Ortiz and Samuel "SileNt" Portillo are no longer on NRG eSports' starting roster, the players announced Tuesday.

No longer a part of NRG's starting roster. Benchwarmer. Good luck. — Justin (@NRG_just9n) May 24, 2016

Looks like the team wants something new, not going to be just Justin on the bench, ill be there alongside with him. — Samuel Portillo (@NRG_SileNt) May 24, 2016

just9n and SileNt were founding members of ex-Method, the team that would be signed by NRG in January. Since the team was signed, NRG’s strongest finish has been fifth place at ESL Pro League Season 3 - North America in April, though they most recently finished in the Top 8 at DreamHack Austin 2016.

Shortly after just9n and SileNt announced that they were removed from the starting lineup, NRG player Nikola “LEGIJA” Ninic said that information on their roster changes would be coming soon.

Further information on our roster changes will be announced soon — Nikola Ninic (@NRG_LEGIJA) May 24, 2016
