Rumor: 9z And 00NATION Will Switch Snipers

Insiders reported that 9z and 00NATION will switch snipers before the 2023 season.

Dust2.br reported that 9z and 00NATION will switch snipers before the following season. 9z will sign Santino try Rigal. Thus, he will return to his native organization, and 00NATION will take young Lucas nqz Soarez. This deal puts Fluxo's season in jeopardy.

Who Will Win More From the Exchange?

South America has a lot of problems as a region in CS:GO, but it has a lot of strong young players, especially snipers. Nqz and try are some of these players, but which one is better?

If you check the numbers, try looks stronger than nqz and has repeatedly proven its high level of individual performance. So at short distances, 9z has a significant advantage. However, it is also worth talking about the long-term perspective.

Suppose try has been on the scene for a long enough time and became popular at the beginning of 2022. In that case, nqz is a remarkable young talent with crazy potential. Nqz just started performing at a reasonably high level and already has a rating of 6.1, which is definitely not a ceiling.

00NATION can gain much more from this exchange if they focus on developing a promising player and keep the lineup the same. Everything depends only on the team's work, the coaching staff, and the coach.

What Does Fluxo Have to Do With It?

According to dust2.br, Fluxo is planning to rebuild the lineup before the new season, and their main bet was to sign nqz along with coach Wilton zews Prado. However, 00NATION stole a player from Fluxo during the negotiations.

Now the young Brazilian team will have to either look for a new player on the market or continue to play with Lucas lux Meneghini, who was almost excluded from the team. The signing of nqz to 00NATION could completely ruin the start of the season for Fluxo. And if the team fails at the beginning of the season, it will be difficult for them to return to the stage after the summer Player Break.

Therefore, if the rumors are confirmed, it is possible not to expect results from Fluxo for almost the entire season because the team needs a stable composition in which all players will be comfortable.

When Will the Teams From South America Start Play?

On January 16, the ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference South America will begin, in which 00NATION will participate. After that, the full season will start, and we will see other teams.
