Sharks close in on Luken deal

21-8-2019 22:37

Sharks are on the brink of completing the signing of Luca "⁠Luken⁠" Nadotti from 9z, HLTV.org has learned.

The two organisations have been locked in talks in the last few days and are ironing out the final details of the deal before confirming the transfer.

Luken will become the second Argentinian player to join Sharks this summer, following in the footsteps of young talent Ignacio "⁠meyern⁠" Meyer, who was signed from Isurus at the beginning of the month.

Luken is expected to sign for Sharks in the coming days

The 22-year-old has long been expected to make a move to a bigger South American team. Back in March, he was earmarked as one of the players to watch at the WESG Finals, where he would go on to post a 1.25 rating as Furious finished among the top 16 sides, losing to eventual winners Windigo in the first round of the playoffs.

With a deal close at hand, Luken is expected to join up with the rest of the squad at their bootcamp in Portugal in the coming days. Next month, the Brazilian team will relocate to the United States as they hope to continue their development after recently finishing in fourth place at the Americas Minor.

Luken's addition will leave Sharks with the following squad:

Raphael "⁠exit⁠" Lacerda
Leonardo "⁠leo_drk⁠" Oliveira
Jhonatan "⁠jnt⁠" Silva
Ignacio "⁠meyern⁠" Meyer
Luca "⁠Luken⁠" Nadotti

Hélder "⁠coachi⁠" Sancho (coach)

Rodrigo "⁠RCF⁠" Figueiredo (transfer listed)

LOL Mum I made it! *.*

language? spanish, portuguese or english?

9 replies

portugese for sure

portuñol

Probably pt, is very similar to spanish and not too hard to learn.

2019-08-21 22:43

Probably Portuguese, we always play in Brazilian servers. We know the positions in both languages, and there is also quite similarity between the languages. The most convenient for all is that Lukn and Meyern, study the language better, For better communication also outside the game. Sorry 4 google translate <3

2019-08-21 23:02

that was translated really well actually lol I'm impressed by google

2019-08-22 02:59

yes it's become crazy good in recent years

2019-08-22 17:12

Argentines knows Portuguese like all europeans knows english, not a big deal

2019-08-21 23:07

Do you play in english with the Portugueses? OMEGALUL

2019-08-22 01:11

Portuguese, LukeN speaks it fluently and also we always play in brazilian servers so we know how to say the basic stuff

2019-08-22 04:00

is meyern already lonely ?

Such nice pick ups, exited for this new team.

Nice upgrade. Meyern and lukern the 2 best young players of Argentina in a one team.

2019-08-22 04:27

Luken é melhor do que a maioria aí, fica em 3 provavelmente... Biguzera... meh, hadzao, meh, pancc, já jogou na Luminosity de stand in, nada, skullz, é moleque novo, além do mais, nunca ouvi falar, realzin, é bom, mas não diferenciado. mano, você só citou peso morto, tirando o Vs e o meyern. Os 3 diferenciados aqui do SA, são realmente: vsm, Luken e meyern. O resto é bom, porém, não diferenciado.

2019-08-22 07:00

"to me everyone then i sayed", o que é isso? Enfim... Já levei uns 100 bans nesse fórum, que se foda!

Sharks must've spent some serious $hit with these two. Really hope it works out

2019-08-22 01:01

ezzz

2019-08-22 01:18

Not good. Bad communication issues predicted

2019-08-22 01:27

+1 sometimes people don't think about communication and this is one of the most important things. The people only see ratings

2019-08-22 01:32

Dude, spanish and portuguese are very similar and easy to learn fos us.

2019-08-22 01:37

+1 specially with isurus's players living in sao paulo for a while + luken playing fpl

JNT IGL?

Probably. Maybe luken helps him

2019-08-22 04:50

GL SHARKS !

How will they communicate?

2019-08-22 05:55

2019-08-22 08:53

Argentinians speak spanish right?

2019-08-22 09:59

Yes but spanish is pretty similar to portuguese

2019-08-22 12:15

It won’t happen, but -jnt + HEN1. Sharks would be insane.

2019-08-22 06:04

They should buy vsm and kick jnt. I know he cannot play majors, but there's a lot of tournaments besides the major... And we didn't see sharks on majors very often...
