boltz set to return to competition

The PGL Major Krakow 2017 finalist is ready to step back on the server after contemplating retirement at the start of the year.

boltz is ready to return to competition

Former Immortals and MIBR player Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass has announced that he is ready to continue his Counter-Strike career. The 26-year-old is still contracted to Imperial and has urged interested parties to contact his organization.

boltz joined Imperial in February 2022, when the organization signed the 'Last Dance' project, and spent more than a year and a half representing the Brazilian organization before getting benched in October to make way for Lucas "⁠decenty⁠" Bacelar. He averaged a 1.10 rating during his tenure and notably attended PGL Major Antwerp 2022, as well as several other tier-one events.

He then teamed up with Fernando "⁠fer⁠" Alvarenga, Lincoln "⁠fnx⁠" Lau, Epitacio "⁠TACO⁠" de Melo and Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe on O PLANO in time for PGL Major Copenhagen's qualifiers, but the team failed to make it past the open stages.

That prompted the 26-year-old to evaluate his options. At the end of January, he revealed in an interview with Dust2 Brazil that he was still uncertain about his future and was even contemplating retirement. However, he has now set his sights on returning to professional play.

"As you guys saw last year, I took a break to sort things out and get some rest. But now I'd like to announce that I'm back, more motivated than ever and well-rested. I want to play again. I'm still contracted to Imperial, I have a buyout, but I'm open to offers. I can fill multiple roles, including IGL, and I want to return as soon as possible, play in tournaments, and be at the next Major," said boltz in his X statement.

2024-03-26 17:35

wtf what a mid roster you made

2024-03-26 18:11

I’d love to see snow with this team (could be a future star like noway)

2024-03-26 18:12

Nice!

Boltz to Legacy?

looks like some sort of new "super" team from the old players under LOUD, with taco, cold and boltz both going to the bench it could be possible, well they will be shit anyway

2024-03-26 16:42

oh no.. Another washed roster with boltz, TACO, coldzera...

Not again with this, make it stop

as long as there is a paycheck people are gonna play. Its the reason all those legendary CIS players continued to play in random t2/3 squads instead of retirement. Usually they dont get the resurgence like seized, but the paycheck still exists it seems like.

2024-03-26 15:51

ahahah this guy likes a good paycheck, omg. Just stay away from good teams

Trying not to form another last dance stack challenge (impossible)

2024-03-26 15:54

I don't think he is very good nowadays but I do enjoy seeing him hold mouse1

Rumours: Coldzera TACO Boltz +2

2024-03-26 15:55

trash team tier 3

2024-03-26 15:56

Tier 99 you mean

2024-03-26 17:46

Boltz, I have a faceit team at lvl 6 if you want to play as support. Of course you get payed with a good time amongst friends, and if we can play in a small tournament we all get payed a couple of dollars. Please consider it and I believe we can make history (in faceit rank 5)

How many dances does this guy need?

joining taco and cold, last last last dance, this time fr.

Real SK 2016/17 last dance! Coldzera TACO FalleN Boltz Fer

2024-03-26 16:04

The Bag ran dry?

2024-03-26 16:12

2024-03-26 16:33

Washed as fuck this dude should retire, look how Imperial improved without him

2024-03-26 16:34

taco and now boltz... orgs are so dumb to hire these bots, all they want is their paycheck$$$$$

2024-03-26 16:35

for a tier 3 org it's a good deal, maybe

2024-03-26 22:43

Another reunion boltz cold fnx fer taco....

2024-03-26 16:54

Who is gonna tell the Brazilian cs scene that all the last last last (last) last dance projects are destined to fail?

2024-03-26 17:15

I don’t support this, we all know he wants the bag

2024-03-26 17:39

it's a perspective... what's do you think it's better? dedicating your middle-aged life to a boring game, or getting rich in a "easy" way?

2024-03-26 22:33

But all brazilians know that these last dances are going to fail. But most of us just want to see them playing together again just for fun.

2024-03-27 12:51

Lul, 7th time he’s returning

Honestly I'm kinda tired of watching tier 3 players going back and forth between retirement and being active.

2024-03-26 17:56

Same here, I’m done with this bullshit. Not watching a single map

2024-03-26 20:53

Nice!!!!

2024-03-26 18:09

guess his money ran out

2024-03-26 18:24

Coldzera is going to SAW. Why would he partner up with TACO who is basically out of the scene and Boltz who hasn't played in basically a year? Especially after enjoying his best CS in a very long time with Legacy. If anything, coldzera's stock is the highest it's been in this 2nd stage of his career. He went almost a couple years barely being talked about, even in Brazil. Now he gets a legit run with Legacy while playing well and he will throw all that away to play with 2 has beens? As much as I love TACO, he can't play CS anymore in a high level. At the moment he wouldn't be a better sub in any of the rosters of the BR teams that made the major (Pain, Furia, Imperial and Legacy). Coldzera can clearly still play with a nice setup and should for sure chase better opportunities.

2024-03-26 18:35

No way

2024-03-26 19:06

LAST DANCE AGAIN

2024-03-26 19:26

boltz, taco and cold together would be pretty awesome

2024-03-26 20:04

He's got great hair density and hairline compared to other 26 y.o pros. Vitality-Worthy imo.

2024-03-26 20:58

GL boltalha

2024-03-26 21:07

Having a real job isn't that easy huh... hopefully he shares his experience with stewie to humble him a bit

2024-03-26 22:24

he could stay as streamer bro, he gets 1k500+ every stream.

2024-03-27 01:07

Maybe brazilian viewers don't sub and donate as much as american viewers

2024-03-27 04:24

maybe, but most of the paycheck come from the sponsors anyway, and he have a skin site. I think hes addicted like Fallen and other pros are, and hes not too old tbh. Good luck for both

2024-03-27 16:07

I hope he had some sleep while him was away, because that panda eyes were insane

2024-03-26 22:25

I like that ak spray from Boltz!! Good luck and be focused

2024-03-26 22:51

Time for the last last last dance

I tend to forget he's still pretty young cuz he looks old af.

2024-03-26 23:15

Why legacy not +boltz... makes more sense lol

2024-03-27 00:09

As someone already mentioned above, despite Legacy trialing Stewie2k, if boltz waits a bit I think there could possibly be a chance for him to join Legacy. That being said I am really not looking forward to these Brazilian "legends" going out of action and coming back constantly... There are rumours about boltz "creating" a new roster with TACO and coldzera who just left Legacy which does not inspire any excitement for me personally knowing that all these players are well past their prime. Best of luck nonetheless.
