INTZ close in on NoTag - Report

20-9-2018 22:50

INTZ are currently in advanced talks with NoTag, according to a report from ESPN Esports Brasil.

The Brazilian organisation, who have a long history in Counter-Strike, are looking to send the team to North America, either to Canada or the USA, to compete in qualifiers and online leagues.

One of the main tournaments in which the team would be competing is the ESL Pro League, with the spot that SK Gaming still retain despite having lost their highly-successful squad to MIBR in June.

felps & co. close to joining INTZ

Headlined by João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos and Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe, the team were at one point heavily linked with a move to SK and even bootcamped at the German organisation's office in the German city of Cologne. But SK have remained tightlipped on their future plans for Counter-Strike despite the game being a staple for the organisation for more than a decade.

After a series of poor results on LAN, the team replaced Bruno "⁠BIT⁠" Fukuda Lima and Lincoln "⁠fnx⁠" Lau with Alexandre "⁠xand⁠" Zizi and João "⁠horvy⁠" Horvath, and changed their name from Não Tem Como to NoTag as the NTC brand is owned by the former Luminosity and SK veteran.

If the move comes the fruition, it is unknown what will happen with the current INTZ roster, which has qualified for Gamers Club Masters 2018, the next big LAN event to be held in Brazil.

NoTag have the following line-up:

João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos
Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe
Marcelo "⁠chelo⁠" Cespedes
João "⁠horvy⁠" Horvath
Alexandre "⁠xand⁠" Zizi (on loan)

Alessandro "⁠Apoka⁠" Marcucci (coach)

I dont see this team going anywhere, chelo, horvy and xand are tier4 players without any experience and KNG is a drunk party clown. I hope some good team will pick up my boy felps (best brazilians player by far).

SO GOOD BRO, BEST ENTRY DE BR

2018-09-24 08:20

I agree. xand and felps are a scary duo to be up against.

2018-09-21 00:16

'potential' he has been in the scene for years, he played with FalleN and fer back in the OG br lineups in early CSGO

Actually he played with zqk, boltz, steel, coldzera, felps, taco, but not with fallen and fer.

2018-09-21 13:59

I am positive I have seen tournaments where he has played with FalleN, whether as a stand-in or otherwise

2018-09-21 18:59

Xand is a great player he can strive in NA scene you all can just blabber but still wont be near the level of kng felps or xand

2018-09-21 21:28

Good joke bro

WHAT A BAITER. U ARE A LEGEND RN ON HLTV BRO

2018-09-20 23:03

no he is not

2018-09-21 12:16

The only problem in this line is horvy. Xand could improve, kng has an unpredictable temper, but knows how to play. Chelo has a future. Will take long, but could work.

2018-09-20 23:09

Chelo is tier2 with potential to tier1, my friend :(

2018-09-20 23:14

He's baiting

2018-09-20 23:18

The sad part that he’s not(just in the part of felps being the best brazil player)

2018-09-20 23:23

felps is very good

2018-09-20 23:28

LOL. That is what I call fan. Idiot

2018-09-20 23:36

WHY ME IDIOT?

2018-09-20 23:38

i was just kidding i love you idiot

2018-09-21 22:22

Prove it or I'll kill you!

2018-09-20 23:39

actually chelo is a good player but horvy and xand need more time

2018-09-21 06:34

ye, felps must be sad that he's playing with these noobz

2018-09-21 07:23

Spaming shit Bro, potential like TeamOne, Fúria etc

2018-09-21 09:33

boltz , felps , kng , fnx & mch ex team one they played togheter

2018-09-21 15:52

Agree to desagree

2018-09-21 19:38

they wont do anything lets be honest

2018-09-20 22:51

They said the same thing when Kabum.TD played their first Dreamhack. And everbody knows felps and KNG, dont need another stars on the team. They just need a good IGL

2018-09-20 23:48

I believe xand can IGL.

2018-09-21 13:30

NickNiTRo Best Israeli Player

I don't know too much about horvy, he's the igl right? Does the Brazilian scene rate him that low?

2018-09-20 23:35

He made slight apparitions in scenario, I think it's because he lives in Portugal. Answering your question, yes he's the igl and he's someone who have a lot to prove, a lot of people hype him because he's performance in esea and faceit (basically a onliner)

2018-09-21 01:38

Ty my guy, I appreciate the knowledge!

2018-09-21 03:01

Youre welcome

2018-09-21 14:32

The only 1 that is good is felps, please save him r8 now

Chelo and Kng are good too, but xand !? omg what a waste

Chelo maybe but kng? he always has problems and he is not as good as in the past :s

2018-09-21 04:29

2018-09-21 04:54

Still extremely small compared to SK and 100 Thieves

2018-09-21 13:38

dude CSGO will die while KngV assembles a team..

Who sign who?

Flag national cs scene ok

2018-09-20 23:16

Kng and Felps are good players Chelo needs to improve, horvy needs to justify the hype people create around him and xand did some good games with yeah in Brazil lets see

Kng is not the player he was last year anymore... He's being underwhelming lately

2018-09-20 22:59

Playing in NTC he used to be the star with felps He is a good player, but sometimes is busy trying to appear like "favela" instead playing CS But is someone that is problably one of the most talented brazilian players - In top 10 i think

top 10 fallen cold fer hen1 taco boltz lucas yel felps chelo steel

Hen1 above boltz Yel above felps/chelo Overating Luminosity just because of a tier3 dreamhack

2018-09-20 23:25

yel isnt better than Kng I think Cold Fer Fallen Taco Felps Kng boltz hen Steel Trk

2018-09-21 01:21

It's very difficult to rank all player xddd

2018-09-21 01:33

Ksceratto and vini

2018-09-21 07:38

steel is pretty crap tho

2018-09-21 13:35

nekiz is playing good

2018-09-21 14:24

Pog

this team will never achieve anything...

Tier 45? Cmmon, they've already had a chance to win, they've lost that chance. Why would anyone give them one more chance if they can't win shit?

2018-09-20 23:04

wut

2018-09-20 23:06

who's in talks with who? fucking irrelevant noname shit

2018-09-20 23:08

2018-09-20 23:10

Hmm.. including steel and boltz?

2018-09-22 03:09

i like steel, boltz im fine with him :)

2018-09-22 10:05

Good team!

2018-09-20 23:12

Nice Tier 1 team! Gl KNG my man, give them hell :emojiwithsunglasses:

Poor felps, tier 1 player stuck in a shitty brazilian team. This guy is probably one of the most mechanically skilled players out there, Id learn english and try to go to na or EU if i was him as he may get decent teams there.

2018-09-20 23:37

He already speak english

2018-09-20 23:58

well then he clearly doesnt fancy doing much with his career if hes gonna stick with the team

2018-09-20 23:59

Mch instead of chelo, xand or horvy

2018-09-20 23:41

+1111 NoTag need a igl, no more firepower

2018-09-20 23:53

where's fnx ? rehab ?

2018-09-20 23:51

busy spending the money with bitches and parties. He is done with CS already.

2018-09-21 13:37

XAND ON LOAN ? PLZ XAND IS THE BEST AK47 FROM BRAZIL!

2018-09-20 23:55

-xand +Boltz gg

2018-09-21 00:05

- xand + mch - horvy + vsm ez dominating online on NA

2018-09-21 00:10

i prefer -chelo instead of -xand, i really believe xand is better than him

2018-09-21 00:22

for sure no chelo is good

2018-09-21 01:46

Gamers Club Masters 2018 next "big" event? ...

2018-09-21 00:17

isn't it big? 150k bro

2018-09-21 00:23

10.5k, no?

2018-09-21 01:45

It's 42k in BRL, so it's probably 10k. But 16k in brazillian currency for 1st place it's way more money than teams are used to.

2018-09-21 01:54

hltv.org/events/4057/gamers-club-masters.. Prize Pool: $10.500 That's big for SA CS. The scene is growing at a nice pace.

2018-09-21 02:03

For me big tournament are ONLY the tier1. even MDL or WESG are trash to me tbh

2018-09-21 02:15

is the biggest national lan here, and actual intz roster have a spot, but they're so bad and don't even in brazilian pro leagues

2018-09-21 01:47

-horvy +boltz -xand +v$m

2018-09-21 01:26

+1000000

2018-09-21 14:29

8/8

2018-09-21 15:00

Why is people commenting so negatively about the team? They definitely have tier 2 potential on their lineup, but some of you guys comment as if they were setting Major goals and top 4s in tier 1 tournaments. Pretty sure even themselves know that their goal can not go any higher than getting to play a few qualifiers and try to attend some tier 2 lans. Would be unrealistic if anyone from that team thought they could take a peek at the top 10/15.
