An earlier report in January had indicated that a player exchange between the two teams was imminent, even though nqz was also in talks to join Fluxo at the time. This report has now been confirmed with the official announcements made by both teams.

After spending six months with the team, Nqz has decided to leave 9z. During his time with the team, Nqz was the highest-rated player, boasting a 1.19 rating. The 17-year-old Brazilian was instrumental in helping the South American team qualify for the IEM Rio Major, posting a 1.17 rating during their third-place finish in the IEM Road to Rio Americas RMR tournament.

Nqz confirmed his move to 00Nation to his fans on his official Twitter page, and looks forward to commencing his new journey.

“Happy to announce my new home, looking forward to the new stage and even more looking forward to the chance to represent this giant organization with these great players,” Nqz wrote.

He also bid farewell to his former team and teammates in a Twitlonger post. He thanked the fans of the South American franchise for their continuous support.

“I would like to start by thanking all of you, fans from all over South America, who, even without knowing me, supported me with open arms and encouraged all the moments that this shirt represented, it takes a lot of courage and affection for that, and I love you very much. everyone and I am grateful for everything I lived, experienced and got here,” he said.

“To everyone who has been with me during this time @maxgzez @dgtcsgo @budafps @ dav1deuS_ @roxfps @zakkfps @tgefps @siagfps, I am grateful for all that they have taught me and for all that we have been through together, I came into this team as a player and today I am leaving as a completely different person, you will always have a place in my heart.”

Try, on the other hand, left 00NATION and returned to 9z, the team he represented from February 2020 to January 2022. Despite 00NATION experiencing multiple setbacks, try remained a reliable player for the Brazilian team and ended his time there with a strong 1.13 rating. He was also the only member of the 00NATION lineup to achieve a 1.00+ rating during the IEM Rio Major Challenger Stage.

With the addition of nqz, 00NATION’s roster now consists of Marcelo “coldzera” David, Eduardo “dumau” Wolkmer, Bruno “latto” Rebelatto, and in-game leader Epitacio “TACO” de Melo, with Olavo “cky” Napole?o serving as coach.

9z’s lineup, on the other hand, includes Franco “dgt” Garcia, in-game leader Maximiliano “max” Gonzalez, David “dav1deuS” Tapia Maldonado, Nicol��s “buda” Kramer, and try, with Martin “rox” Molina on the bench.

The player swap marks a significant change for both 00NATION and 9z, with both teams looking to build on their recent performances and make a stronger push in the competitive CS:GO scene. Nqz will bring his impressive skills and experience to 00NATION, while try will look to make a splash in his return to 9z.

It remains to be seen how the player swap will impact the teams’ fortunes, but with both franchises boasting talented rosters and experienced coaches, fans can expect some exciting matches and top-notch gameplay from both sides in the coming season.

The post 00Nation and 9z Team complete nqz-try player swap appeared first on Esport Bet.

According to a report by Dust2 Brasil, the deal between the two CS:GO teams is nearly complete. If all goes as planned, 00Nation will be acquiring 9z’s top AWPer, Lucas “nqz” Soares, while 00 Nation’s star AWPer Santino “try” Rigal will be returning to his previous team 9z. The swap is set to shake up the competitive landscape in the world of esports, as both Karma and Apollo are well-known and highly skilled players.

Nqz has been a key member of 9z’s lineup in the past few months since joining the team in June 2022 from B4 Esports, consistently putting up impressive performances and helping the team achieve numerous victories. He is known for his precise and aggressive playstyle, making him a valuable asset to any team.

Try, on the other hand, has been a staple of 00Nation’s lineup for nearly a year, having joined the team in January 2022, and has been instrumental in the team’s success. He is known for his impeccable aim and strategic thinking, making him a formidable opponent for any team.

The potential move has received mixed reactions from fans and analysts. Some believe that the swap will benefit both teams, with nqz bringing his aggressive playstyle to 00Nation and try bringing his strategic thinking to 9z. Others are skeptical, pointing out that the teams will have to adjust to their new players and may take time to find their footing.

If it occurs, this would mean that nqz has chosen to join 00 Nation instead of Fluxo, who were reported to have also attempted to acquire the player.

After voicing his desire to return to 9z, try reportedly negotiated a move that would also see 00 Nation acquiring nqz. This news comes after 00 Nation had disappointing results at the IEM CS:GO Rio Major, where they suffered three defeats in the Challengers Stage against FURIA, IHC, and Bad News Eagles. In response to these disappointing results, 00 Nation reportedly began discussing potential roster changes.

Although 9z had a decent run in tournaments in Brazil, they were only able to secure two wins during the Challengers Stage, defeating Imperial Esports and Evil Geniuses. However, they lost to GamerLegion, BIG, and Fnatic and were unable to qualify for the next stage of the event.

00 Nation will commence their 2023 season campaign with an appearance at the ESL Pro League Season 17: South American Conference Stage on January 18th. It is expected that the team will make any official announcements prior to the start of the competition.

Overall, the alleged player swap between 00Nation and 9z is a major move that has the potential to shake up the competitive scene in esports. Only time will tell if the swap will pan out, but fans and analysts alike are sure to be closely following the developments as the new season begins.
