Damian "Daps" Steele will participate in the major, temporarily joining the starting lineup. He is the current coach of NRG and already has experience playing for the organization in both CS:GO and CS2 , making him the most logical choice for a replacement.

The StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 kicks off on November 24 and will run until December 14. On the same day, NRG will play their first match with the updated lineup, where Daps will replace Nitr0 for the duration of the tournament.
