North American Netrunner Players Circuit

Who to Watch at OTG

The NANPC is in full swing, with players from both sides of the continent gathering for this premier event. In addition to points for the NANPC circuit, competitors will gather to compete for Netrunner’s first and only legacy trophy, as well as a minimum $500 cash prize. Let’s have a look at some of the players vying for the prestigious title of OTG Champion.

CTZ

From: SanSanFransisco
Notable Finishes: Top 16 Worlds 2024, Reigning Champion of “Nor vs Sol Cal 2016 Tournament, sponsored by Mattress King”

Ctz firmly believes in unconventional deckbuilding and playstyle, whether it’s on his stream SanSanFrancisco, or in the ring. To him, Netrunner is wrestling, and his goal is always to put on a good show, whether it’s with a crafty Criminal or a showboating NBN ID. This Muntal Bost member might just have what it takes to knock out the rest of the competition this weekend.

Wenjong

From: Shanghai, Toronto meta
Notable Finishes: 4th Americas Contenintals 2025, 1st Toronto Districts 2025, 3rd NANPC NJ 2025

Issuaq? Issuaq!!! Wenjong, part of a Meeting of Minds formed at a prior OTG event, knows exactly where his strengths lie – although just how much flatlining is in the cards is anyone’s guess. A relative newcomer to the scene, starting less than two years ago, Wenjong is sure to make make waves at this highly competitive showdown.

NotAgain

From: Boston
Notable Finishes: 1st NANPC NJ, 1st NYC Districts 2025, Top 16 Circuit Breaker 2024

Fresh off a third place finish in last year’s circuit, and winning 2025’s inaugural event in New Jersey, Dhairya is poised to make his mark in the Twin Cities. Likely paired with an aggressive Crim or Anarch, he’ll make sure to bring a puzzling Corp that will confound opponents at every turn.

NANPC OTG is going to make an exciting splash in the emerging Elevation meta! Pay attention to these players as the event begins, and check back after for a recap of the weekend’s events.
