Nivera steps down from Vitality

12-3-2021 14:08

The French team has decided to return to a five-man roster.

Nabil "⁠Nivera⁠" Benrlitom has stepped down from an active playing position in Vitality, the organization has announced. The decision follows Valve's call to issue penalties to teams who substitute out players in the Regional Major Ranking (RMR) circuit, the qualification system for the next Major.

"Unfortunately, following the recent announcement, questions arose regarding the six-man format and we aren't feeling confident regarding the future of this structure," Vitality's statement reads. "Therefore, we are coming back to a five-man roster for the time being."

The French organization has not ruled out Nivera's possible return in the future in case the climate around extended rosters changes: "Nabil showed great talent and potential during his time with us and the door isn't closed to a comeback in the future if things were to change. We stay firmly convinced that a six-man roster is the best way to help the CS:GO competitive scene grow even bigger."

Vitality's experiment with a six-man roster ends for the time being

Nivera joined Vitality from Spanish organization Heretics in October as a substitute player and impressed in that bit-part role during the final months of 2020 as he helped the team to win IEM Beijing-Haidian and the BLAST Premier Fall Finals with strong performances in key moments of series.

But the Belgian talent, the younger brother of retired Counter-Strike player Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom, has averaged just a 0.93 rating for Vitality in 2021, down from 1.19 last year. The French team have also struggled for consistency, finishing third in the BLAST Premier Global Final and 9th-12th in IEM Katowice, and failing to make it out of their BLAST Premier Spring group.

Vitality are not the first team to alter their plans following the announcement of the roster rules for the RMR circuit. Last month, Astralis backup player Lucas "⁠Bubzkji⁠" Andersen said that the team "had to rethink the whole idea of a six-man roster" following Valve's announcement and that they were "trying to work on solutions around it".

Vitality's first showing without the 19-year-old will be in ESL Pro League Season 13, in which the team has been placed in Group B alongside G2, MOUZ, FaZe, Ninjas in Pyjamas and ENCE. Their first match in the group stage, against Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen's troops, is scheduled for Saturday at 19:00 .

With Nivera stepping down from an active position, Vitality's lineup looks as follows:

Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire
Cédric "⁠RpK⁠" Guipouy
Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut
Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon
Kévin "⁠misutaaa⁠" Rabier

Rémy "⁠XTQZZZ⁠" Quoniam (coach)

Nabil "⁠Nivera⁠" Benrlitom (benched)

RIP!

people only doing it bc astralis started doing it. When AGO(or whatever polish team) was playing with 7 people everyone was laughing at them and now alot of teams would like to have more then 5 players when they have a stable roster

2021-03-12 14:23

People started doing it because it works. AGO wasnt playing with 7 players, they merged two rosters and were just figuring out which 5 to keep.

2021-03-13 02:05

how can you know when you never let him play?

2021-03-13 13:29

Booba isn't bad really; I think Astralis don't know how to experiment with roster adjustments as they've had such a ridiculously stable core since 2013, and have had the same roster for over 2 years. I think it's good they're trying something new, but at the same time if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

2021-03-21 18:07

O plano can get away with it, since one of the 6 players has a vac ban.

2021-03-12 16:02

Never really liked the idea of a 6 man roster. Hopefully nivera can find a team that utilizes him full time and be succesfull.

He will found a good team. He proved he was talented with his time at Vitality.

2021-03-12 17:05

cant wait for him to join G2 since i got flamed by 2 gorillas yesterday for saying nivera will replace jackz in the next coming weeks

13 replies

they need an awper not a rifler so I can see why you got flamed tbh

2021-03-12 14:15

nivera always played second awp and before he joined vitality he's also been the main awp for selected maps / periods

8 replies

i c, I didn't watch Vitality a lot but when I did he was rifling most of the time. Dunno if G2 would take the risk but it's not a bad idea.

nexa stated like 2 weeks ago @ hltv confirmed that jackz cannot speak english, seeing that he's also not really the optimal role player they currently need i think nivera might be worth the gamble

2021-03-12 15:09

and how do you know that nivera's english is good? I never saw him speaking english other than that thing where players were picking skins at blast. He was barely talking english, its not enough to play with

2021-03-12 15:34

i do not know if its good but from what i heard it can only be better than jackz'

2021-03-12 15:38

Um from watching Niko's streams Jackz seems to speak English fine so I don't know what nexa's talking about.

2021-03-12 16:36

nop he was sniping in d2 and inf

Just on inf, not d2.

2021-03-14 10:28

look the game and you gonna see on ct side nivera with the awp

2021-03-14 11:37

nivera was an awper before vitality and played pretty well when he picked up the awp during the 6 man roster

Don’t think kio will return. I thing he does is gambling on stream. Sad. Edit: Only thing he does*

2021-03-12 15:45

Ah really? That's sad I always really liked him as a player, thought he always deserved another chance after the catastrophe that was the C9 roster

His ego killed him sadly, he had the opportunity to build something really strong in Heretics but decided to be a diva. Now he is teamless and I don't think anyone will pick him up.

2021-03-12 16:20

What happened with him in Heretics? I didn't really follow Heretics, other than thinking Maka was looking really promising

2021-03-12 17:32

They added a very popular coach in France, who was helping developing young talent (misutaa, nivera, etc) and he decided to pick a dedicated IGL who was free at that time because Heretics didn't want to buy anyone because the lineup was about to get booted due to them not being good enough. The coach wanted DEVIL & a promising guy python. Kio didn't want to play with DEVIL because he never liked him. But DEVIL said that he did some shit he wasn't proud of and would work his ass off to prove himself worthy. kio was like yeah whatever and benched himself. Lucky followed and then Heretics booted everyone XD From what the coach said, Lucky & kio were slacking and not training like they should and were not listening to any criticisms. So it was hard to work with them. The coach is flex0r if you want his name.

No RIP, this man has to get a real career. Imagine removing Nivera and having shox, RpK, misutaa and tiltEX

Fallen is slowly fitting into Liquid, and him playing against NA tier 2 with 100+ ping won't help his stats

100+ ping hahaha

2021-03-12 14:32

Yep, 100+ ping, he Was in EU playing in a NA server due to visa problems

Imagina bashing Fallen without knowing he is playing from Europe in a NA tournament with 200ms putting a decent rating Lol

2021-03-12 16:10

Imagine always finding excuses to explain why your fav player is not in his prime anymore.... Don't forget to add that their opponents are always cheating too. Lol

2021-03-12 16:42

This time its a valid excuse tho

2021-03-12 17:12

1. He isn’t my favorite player 2. He also did good overall on Katowice, he’s not on his prime but he destroyed Zywh00 and company putting 1.6+ rating 3. His opponents aren’t always cheating, just leaf who quitted CS for Valulrant and maybe Xeppa that one time 4. You wouldn’t get a kill playing with 200ms on MM, let alone on a Pro match

2021-03-12 17:18

1. He will be sad to read this 2. 1.6+ rating with 200ms ping... why isn't he the top player in the world with that much skill. And his 0.99 comes from his last 3 months on europeans matches where his teammates should be the ones with 200ms ping 3. and maybe every other player with better stats. 4. and?

2021-03-12 17:54

reading comprehension isn't ur strong suit. fallen put up 1.6 against vitality with normal ping cus he was playing eu servers in eu, he is now playing an na tournament from eu and not doing hot cus of 150 ping.

2021-03-12 18:11

It isn't yours either "And his 0.99 comes from his last 3 months on europeans matches" I was just pointing out that he use 200ms ping as an excuse on EUROPEANS matches....

2021-03-12 18:17

When did I used the 200ms excuse on EU matches? Omfg I’m Brazilian and my English reading comprehension is better than yours. Get a life hater.

2021-03-12 23:45

-> "Only RpK has a worse rating than Fallen while he never plays awp" ->"Imagina bashing Fallen without knowing he is playing from Europe in a NA tournament with 200ms" -> last 3 months : hltv.org/stats/players/matches/2023/fall.. Not a lot of NA matches here, he has 0.99 on EU matches and you come whining about ping... So either we don't care about his ping and you can stfu, or you can accept that only RpK has a worse rating than Fallen in Vitality in the last 3 month.....

2021-03-13 01:53

The guy just joined TL. He wasn’t even awping or IGLing his first matches, he was put on a weird role that he wasn’t useful at all. That’s why they moved him to his natural role so fast. I wasn’t even thinking that you were considering those first matches since that would be the dumbest thing ever. Rpk plays in the same team with the same players since 2018 Lol

2021-03-13 04:51

Go frag a pro with 200 ping and come back to tell us how that experience was.

Imagine comparing nivera to the igl who contribute to maintain vitality the top5...

Those 4 guys were top 5 the whole year and no1 almost half of 2020. What is your problem with them?

2021-03-12 14:40

yeah sure, nivera and rpk have the same role, you know that CS isn't just 5 five player that you put together right ?

2021-03-12 14:41

excuses...

This RACIST team HATES Belgians.. SMH!!

2021-03-12 23:46

Well, they exploited Congo when they had it as colony so they can't complain now...

Belgians too condemn the actions of those who did that. Though I recently learned that while I was taught these facts in my history lessons at school, my mom wasn't!

very sad to hear comrade !

RiP B1t :(

more like RiP Flamie

i dont think so

2021-03-12 14:46

b1t is still playing on academy team they're probably gonna replace him with flamie once hes ready

2021-03-13 04:13

rip

Oh that is G2 music, baby

Sad for Nivera... G2 time now!

lmao what the hell????? stepping down? same as ''benched''? or just benched??? lol mens!

throwed, if u like it more

2021-03-12 14:47

bad move

I would kill to see Nivera on FaZe. It's a shame we already have a perfect roster.

PS: Valve is so dumb, they don't care about cs:go at all. It has been proven many times in the past but when you remove something as beneficial as 6man rosters from the competitive scene it's down right evil.

actually I think this is a good decision from volvo, yes Vitality were doing fine with 6 man roster but that's about it... Astralis was (and still is) exploiting their own players... look at Buzkji....

What about Na'Vi and B1t?, that's a success case too. And what exactly is the explotation you are talking about? They are paying his salary, if he's ok sitting on the bench let him be lmao, they know what they are doing.

2021-03-12 17:02

Navi had few matches with Bit and it was hardly a success. No, it doesn't work like that.. sooner or later they're going to release him (unless they want to sell him which is even worse) and it's going to be ggwp for his career... not having a chance to play, not being in shape and his talent is wasted.. it most certainly wouldn't be the first time that some org ruined someone's career due to dumb decision making.

2021-03-12 17:07

nivera will replace who ?

2021-03-12 14:54

I'm not able to make the call. Would love to see a 6th man roster, however Karrigan already said that they will be playing as a 5 man roster for at least 6 months.

2021-03-12 17:03

Karrigan

2021-03-13 02:56

C9 Nivera

OMG SAD

WTF??? Screw you Valve. Killing the 6-man format. Honestly, They should have kept Nivera over RPK. I love the tank but you gotta invest in the future. G2, OG, C9 who's going to pay big? Nivera wont disappear.

they cant play 6 man on majors thats why

Just understood why, fuck thats rough. Still think this isn't the move

But why?

Le Tank is the future, he can still play until his fifties mens

2021-03-12 18:16

retard valve WHYYY kill 6 man rooster????

wait what

shortest news i ever read.

anluko

good, 6man roster is shit idea

worked pretty well for them to be honest i still think its the future, just not yet

I think is good for young players

yeah sure, they were better with it, With the ability to make changes if something goes wrong (like what happened with apEX) I don't know how anyone can think that the 6-man roster is a bad thing.

Wow the guy who made thread the other day was right. Nice. N0vera now will join his washed bradar in valrante

nice to see valve is finally getting rid of 6-man rosters gl to nivera tho

I feel like his ceiling is higher than misutaa's but let's see where this goes.

damn :(

RIP, <3

he is a weeb, so ofc they cut him

No way, he is absolutely better than apEX. I hope he finds a good team.

hopefully team BDS enters the scene soon and forms a second french powerhouse.

c9: hehe boy

Nivera + Kennys + ???? + ????? + NBK = EnvyUs)

Only reason I don't see this working out is because they'd have to pay buyouts on everyone or wait out contracts. Envy isn't looking to spend big bucks on CS and I doubt theirs any org in the current state of the scene that would. But It's an interesting thought, if Jackz is a temporary stand-in for G2 he probably makes it into the mix, Lucky is still available and bodyy as well

G2 for sure

damn, sad for nivera :(

Imagine keeping misutaa instead of Nivera

What is this about no more 6 man rosters? What did valve do?

#45

sad

G2 Nivera

G2.nivera

Should have cut rpk or botsuta really stupid decision by coach

bald* decision, if u like it more

2021-03-12 14:50

no way they kick tank until he retires

2021-03-12 16:00

if you are a top 5 team and a player goes straight from you to retirement he should not have been on your team for a while

2021-03-12 22:28

I mean he is irreplaceable

2021-03-12 23:00

no he's not the the only maps where he is still really good are inferno and vertigo on every other map he is sometimes good sometimes bad. he also isn't that good with utility compared to the best support players like xyp9x, stewie2k etc. he's still good but you should not be cutting young talent to keep him on a team that never has enough fraggers

2021-03-12 23:05

>stewie >best at anything pick one well mens, not every young talent would agree to play rpk's roles at least because he'll instantly become the main target for haters Besides I watched him playing nuke for ct on A-defense, that was bad (but misuta played worse) so maybe you're kinda right

2021-03-12 23:30

apex is contributing shit as well XDDD and his mechanics are sometimes very silverish hahaha😋😋😋

2021-03-12 22:16

They thought they were astralis

lmao in Vitality the idea of 6th man roster worked much better than in Astralis

clown9 brain*

2021-03-12 14:51

Did i say it worked out better?

2021-03-12 14:53

So why do you say they thought they were astralis?

2021-03-12 15:59

Sad, valve another stupid move

rip vitality in top10

Something seems odd for apEX to step away saying he needs a break, then comes back almost immediately, and then Nivera leaves the team I feel like the French scene's proclivity for internal politics and squabbling may have returned, but we can't know for sure.

Or maybe it is just near impossible to use well a 6 man roster now??

Nah, he's right. There was set up a twitter poll to vote for mvp of the week on twitter for valorant tour - and every single french players retweeted it and told their fans to vote for the french player evem tho the clear winner by any margins was the turkish player.it became political.

2021-03-12 14:57

I don't see what it has to do with nivera but ok

2021-03-12 15:13

French pro players being political & straight up snakes toward one another as we've seen with nbk, apex, shox, happy with each other and them fcking up scream.

2021-03-12 15:27

hahahhahhha wtf So Nivera to G2 or ??? Vitality now play with 5 or they have plans to buy 6th man?

They don't want to kick Nivera, they benched him because Valve/RMR events are very likely to force you into 5 man rosters. If they we're going to stick with 6 then they'd have no issues keeping Nivera. They will play with 5, if by miracle they can get the 6 man roster format accepted by Valve they will keep Nivera

2021-03-12 14:28

thanks for answer

Bye bye nivera, gl finding a new team!

Valve fault

2021-03-12 14:20

Wtf dude

Why?

PLS G2 NIVERA

expected , you need to figure out your playing 5 for the Majors and first RMR event is next month. It would be great if Vitality makes it easier for him to leave if an offer comes where he can be a starting member of a team. Hopefully G2 can do something. Good Luck.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2021-03-12 14:56

Wtfrick, kick that bot Zywhoo.

Valve and making bad decisions name a better duo

noooo :(

Nivera is such a good player,why?

xi who dont want to share OP awp

Probably the best player in the team, after zywoo.

best player... hltv.org/stats/players/19512/nivera?star..

That's enough to be 2nd best player in G2 honestly

2021-03-12 17:28

G2 +Nivera

about time, 6-man rosters are stupid should've kicked misutaaa though

What a surprise. “6 man rosters works”....

2021-03-12 14:24

It does work, it's valve changing the format. Not Vitality giving up on it because they think it doesn't work. Under the 6-man roster: Shox was able to avoid playing his worst map and his rating and statistics saw a very noticeable jump Nivera was able to sub in on that map (Inferno) and it was one of his best. This made Vitality go from an Inferno shit-show to one of the best teams on the map. 3 players (Misutaa, Shox, and Nivera) had less maps to worry about and could focus their time on what maps they'd be used on. All of them put on better performances when called upon. The team as a whole performed better, Vitality went from constant 2nd place finishes to actually winning tournaments.

It works online* It has yet to be proven to work on LAN (and unfortunately because Valve forces it, it won't even get the chance). I'm not convinced it would work as well on LAN when there's more on the line.

2021-03-12 15:19

nivera, nbk, and kenny might be a solid core to build a new team around them

Yea that would also be great to see if Nivera doesn't go to G2

2021-03-12 14:33

Valve ruining careers as typical Hope this helps

New ENVYus team!

new envyus team will be -kng -hen1 -lucas1 -vsm -trk -leodrk

2021-03-12 14:49

Oh, they are getting that team? Nice! I thought vsm went to Valorant though

i saw on several sites in Brazil that Envyus would be talking to these boys and I don't know if that will really happen. but i hope that's gonna be true

maybe Lucky/Kio replace by Jackz

THis would still be a cool team if Nivera goes to G2 and you take Jackz here instead.

But i want to see what would happen if nivera and kenny in the same team:/ G2 is rich they can pick cerq or any t1~2 awper tho

yes pls.

Good pick up for G2 if niveras English is good enough

that was so fucking sad The only team which can truly play 6- man roster is done thank valve for destructing a new attempt Sry for poor english and i m just so mad about this\ /

Thanks to Valve CSGO is saved by lazy Bubzkis 6th player at least for the major

The ScreaM curse returns

Wtfff God??? Why

2021-03-12 14:38

Nivera to faze will be great.

OMEGALUL

Sad for him, hopefully he finds a team soon!

G2???

F hope he finds success :(

Nivera should be fine as long as he speaks english He proved his worth more than enough with Vitality

welcome to G2

Astralis: -Bubzkji (he deleted a Twitter) Navi: -flamie (we all know why)

G2 is a good option i hope he well find a team soon

I hope B1t will stay

Good decision Valve, it was stupid idea from the beginning. Some richer teams had 6 man rosters and could swap bad performing players in between maps, while others had to play with 5man squads.

where is that toxic guy "nivera top_1"? can't find he here

2021-03-12 14:55

Does anyone know why apeX took 5 day break from vitality and they post a news about that.

Good thing! Cheaters who started this BS culture of substituting players mid-series.

how does this germany 6 world cup guy knows about every roster move wtf

2021-03-12 15:00

Germans know everything and never lie

Nivera, NBK, KennyS

G2 -jackz +nivera(AWP) and NiKo back to rifle

Rip Belgium Cs

I feel you Nivera, don't worry, everything will be fine after you find some experience and perhaps a better team. ;]

next -zywoo

he deserves better.

RIP Shittality, Zywoo is doomed for 4 years xDDD

2021-03-12 15:05

So expected i said two months ago hltv.org/news/30870/vitality-chairman-we..

2021-03-12 15:10

He better joins G2 now, hes amazing

Saw this coming, might go to G2

2021-03-12 15:14

Hopefully he doesnt go to valorant

F***, Valve ruined a great idea and evolution for CS : 6 men rosters, substitutions, and different setups to be played. But who can consider that Valve cares about the game since we still don't have BO5 finals in Majors lul. Still a disappointing BO3 (not the best way to know who is the best team in the world) and a useless showdown match just before. GL Nivera

2021-03-12 15:22

BO3 final is great cuz strategy in mapvotes has a bigger role then 2 boring additional maps where either team will take 1.

2021-03-12 17:23

He is a talented player and surely teams will be after him and vitality back to shit

now zywoo can play awp finally....

rip vitality, wont win d2 anymore

2021-03-12 15:25

vitality wont win anything, lol

2021-03-12 15:54

Bubzkji when?

Welcome to G2

2021-03-12 15:28

Should probably replace rpk in the long term but whatever

2021-03-12 15:32

Valve fucking csgos' potential yet again.

nivera how top1 now?

2021-03-12 15:33

Benched for being too good for volvo

Valve messing things up as usual...

OG Niveria

2021-03-12 15:37

Anyway He was just a bot like le tank

2021-03-12 15:42

propably G2 Nivera main awp

2021-03-12 15:46

finally the shitbot got benched

2021-03-12 15:50

cry is free onemap user

2021-03-12 15:52

2021-03-12 15:53

GJ Valve

Nooo :(( Fak yu volvo

2021-03-12 16:03

Again valve is not doing anything to improve the game or help the players and instead is backstabbing them. GREAT JOB VALVE MANAGEMENT! What are the management penalties now seriously speaking?

2021-03-12 16:08

AJAHAHAAHshaHaHHAHAH vitality management is worst ever XD they kicked nivera, but not rpk/missuta/apex XD AHAHAHAHA

Apex is their IGL and RpK plays some complicated roles in the team. Idk why they kicked him over Missuta tho. Nivera > Missuta.

2021-03-12 16:17

apex is bad igl(shox is better as igl) nivera can play same role as rpk and has better stats

2021-03-12 16:35

RIP :(

Very big mistake, he has been very good, shox should have been benched.

2021-03-12 16:14

Shox is a very versatile player who can play many positions while nivera is a young player who should be the main AWP or a star player on his team, he can't be that in Vitality while ZywOo is there.

he was playing good, they could have find better way

2021-03-12 17:56

What the fuck valve!

2021-03-12 16:16

WTF NIVERA ITS THE SECOND BEST VITALITY PLAYER, lol Rip Vitality lucky for G2 that will get rid of some noobs and by Nivera for sure wtf is vitality doing just kick the b rain dead apex and buy an real IGL .. the guy is always tilting and shocking

This is either bait or you don't know shit about CS

2021-03-12 16:34

finally

2021-03-12 16:24

G2 nivera?

2021-03-12 16:32

hahahahaha

Phew I was afraid they would kick misutaa to keep nivera, that would have been a very bad decision. Good luck to him, I hope he can join up with Kenny and NBK or something like that.

now -ISSA +nivera . top 5 OG.

2021-03-12 16:46

This kid will find new team soon.

2021-03-12 16:47

Kicking nivera over mitsuta....

2021-03-12 16:53

misuta can play amazing lately, nivera is overated at tier 1 level he need time to make less mistake

2021-03-12 17:16

Yes, but I think niveras skill celling is much higher than mitsutas. If they gave him more time he'd be more valuable

2021-03-12 17:41

He barely even stepped in, he's already stepping down? lol ahahaha

2021-03-12 16:57

Expected, cus valve are cunts and won't let people play 6 man rosters.

2021-03-12 17:15

He needs to hit the gym

G2: - Jackz + Nivera

2021-03-12 17:22

Valve doesn't like when big teams increase the gap to small teams in terms of structure and investment. That's why they banned coaches from talking with players mid-round, to make the coach less impactful and smaller teams could find their way without a coach. I guess it's the same idea behind 6-men rosters.

RIP Vitality's D2 permoban forever

2021-03-12 17:36

thought they would bench misuta first tbh, for role and performance wise

glad i dont have to see his ugly mug anymore gtfo

2021-03-12 18:00

This is a joke.

2021-03-12 18:08

Good luck Nivera! Very good player, I hope you'll be in a good team!

-Valve +Riot

2021-03-12 18:40

2021-03-12 18:49

i expected this even before he joined as the 6th player

2021-03-12 18:51

why not bench misutaa he is trash

2021-03-12 18:59

There could be a new french team with high potential, NBK bodyy Nivera Djoko Lucky

2021-03-12 19:05

expected, G2 Nivera incoming

2021-03-12 19:11

Srsly valve is fucking shit. This guys made this system work and valve just comes out and says "nah we don't like it". And then they don't even disallow it, they just remove points from a team for no good reason. Hope this guy gets a good team, it would suck to lose him to t3 french teams

2021-03-12 19:16

So good move for Nivera. This guy deserve better team. Rip Vitality now btw

2021-03-12 19:20

Good for him. No one wants to be a bench warmer. Maybe -jackz +nivera incoming?

2021-03-12 19:37

6 man rosters in cs are fucking stupid, the sooner teams realize this the better

2021-03-12 19:43

good move,shitty 6 man roster sucks

2021-03-12 19:45

He looked good in Vitality Vitality is the only one team that could use 6-man roster in a proper way Good luck Nivera anyway

2021-03-12 19:53

ok so if Vitality are trying to cater to valve, that mean they are going to remove xqtzzz from the game room like they want or nah? cause right now he is more of an IGL than a coach for them. That is not what Valve wants either so make a decision on what your excuses are gonna be why you dont want nivera.

2021-03-12 20:20

the bullshit you're spouting is getting to your head

2021-03-14 07:43

no i think its fair to say that if they want to do something because of valve they need to do everything.

2021-03-14 11:21

Nivera to Faze, please

2021-03-12 20:44

+nivera -nivera was the problem french using mibr tactics?

2021-03-12 20:45

rip career. so stupid when u playing for team only on 1-2 maps + sometimes.

2021-03-12 21:01

poor guy needs food, how is he going to eat just 1 meal a day now??

2021-03-12 21:08

vitality is keeping players like rpk and shox while nivera is being benched. really sad for zywoo aswell. his only option would be to learn english and join faze i can see them winning a major with karrigan as igl. french scene is dead hes just gonna waste his time like kenny

2021-03-12 22:51

Nivera valorant confirmed. He will be play his brother.

2021-03-12 23:57

2021-03-13 00:08

f valve

2021-03-13 01:54

- apex + nbk

2021-03-13 02:17

nivera.OG?

2021-03-13 02:18

+KennyS or +nbk or +kio inc 100 percent, French scene is known for always switching their players back and forth..

2021-03-13 04:05

OG Nivera?!?!?!?!

2021-03-13 06:53

Welcome to Valorant

2021-03-13 07:20

Get this guy a team please!

2021-03-13 07:27

Bodyy + KennyS + Nivera + NBK + Lucky = EnvyUS

2021-03-13 07:51

expected unluko

2021-03-13 08:57

"Great" decision, kick the one of the most perspective and skillfull European players. Clap-clap...

2021-03-13 11:01

He is a good player, he will find a team soon, I understand Vitalitys decision, but why the fuck is valve ruining every fucking thing? I feel like this company is literally retarded, Idk. if I can use that word here probably not but Idc. at this point, I'm so mad at them.

2021-03-13 13:27

so french logic: hes so talented helped us much and hes a super player, so we dont want him

2021-03-13 13:28

2021-03-13 13:32

omg kick misuta and let nivera be in main roster. apex u dmb

2021-03-13 14:34

I'm sorry for Nivera but 6 man shit has to end. Nivera can find another team. It would be better for him actually. You can't develop by playing only dust 2.

2021-03-13 14:44

Lol

2021-03-15 08:19

Literally the most interesting player on Vitality, his AWP'ing is MAD underrated. Hopefully he takes KennyS spot because whoever has it right now blows, not even good enough to remember his name.

2021-03-15 13:06

unlicky very good player, he was the secend one in his team-mine opinion. Waiting for new team: Nivera,XANTARES,Ropz,Kenny...

2021-03-16 09:06

Another bad decision from valve as expected....

2021-03-18 12:41

lol

2021-03-22 14:54

Misutaaa or RpK are way worse than Nivera

2021-03-22 14:56

g2 better pick him up to replace kennyS. because nivera is nasty on the awp, and that way niko can get back to just in game leading without having to worry about picking up both positions

2021-03-22 23:05
