North America League 2026 Stage 1 - Team of the Week 1

Just like we did for the first week of the Europe and MENA League 2026 Stage 1, we have made our team of the week but for the first week of the North America League 2026 Stage 1.

Primarily taking into account our SiegeGG rating and individual stats, as well as team final scores, here's a look at our five, including two entries, two flexes, and one IGL:

• Entry: Ethan "Nuers" James
• Entry: Jaylen "Ambi" Turk
• Flex: William "Spoit" Löfstedt
• Flex: Jack "J9O" Burkard
• Support: Lucas "Savage" Alves

Ethan “Nuers” James (DarkZero Esports)

Nuers completed a fantastic first week as his average rating of 1.36 was the second-highest only behind Jack “J9O” Burkard’s 1.37.

Alongside his teammate Nick “njr” Rapier, Nuers also averaged the highest KOST (80) and the highest entry balance of the week. Due to his high efficiency at getting entry kills and his outstanding survival numbers (4th with 48%) we have chosen Nuers as the team’s main entry. 

Jaylen “Ambi” Turk (Shopify Rebellion)

Although he wasn’t the most efficient entry of the week, he was the most present with eight kills and seven deaths. In the early stages of the rounds, he’s a massive pain to deal with.

The American currently holds the second-highest K-D as well as the second-highest KPR. Despite his playstyle, Ambi also averaged surprisingly positive survival (40). 

William “Spoit” Löfstedt (Shopify Rebellion)

Spoit was Shopify Rebellion’s best player in two of the team’s three wins, including Five Fears (1.76) and Wildcard (1.39). His 0.95 performance against Cloud9 lowered his average rating (3rd, 1.31) but the Swede’s two final showings of the week make him deserve a spot in this roster.

Spoit averaged the third-highest K-D, the third-highest KPR, the fourth-highest KOST, and the sixth-highest survival. His numbers were very complete, making him a solid fit for the flex position.

Jack “J9O” Burkard (DarkZero Esports)

J9O was North America’s best player as he averaged a SiegeGG rating of 1.37. He also held the best K-D, best KPR, second-highest survival, and a decent entry balance considering he shares a team with Nuers and njr. J9O is widely known for his consistency; so far, Stage 1 has been no exception.

Lucas “Savage” Alves (M80)

One week in North America has been enough to see Savage’s impact in M80; the Portuguese IGL can definitely shoot. His SiegeGG rating of 1.16 makes him the highest-rated player in-game leader in North America.

The Portuguese averaged the highest KOST in M80 (78) as well as the highest survival (46) in the green roster.
