Neityu earns high praise from apEX: "I'm pretty sure he will play in a top 10 team"

4-9-2024 23:04

Vitality's in-game leader urged teams to pick up his countryman after his contract with MOUZ NXT ran out.

On Tuesday, Ryan "⁠Neityu⁠" Aubry announced that he has decided to explore his options as a free agent following the end of his year-long contract with MOUZ NXT.

The 19-year-old Frenchman is now "super motivated" to finally be able to qualify for tier-one events and Majors, he says. That goal was previously out of reach for him due to conflict of interest rules preventing junior teams from playing in the same competitions as their main rosters.

Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire took to X with hopes of boosting his countryman's chances of making that happen, giving high praise to Neityu and urging teams to give him a chance.

"I'm playing a lot with Ryan lately, and he is really talented and a hardworking guy," Vitality's in-game leader said in the post. "I'm pretty sure he will play in a top 10 team in the [next] year.

"Time to pick him up."

Neityu first turned up on the radar as part LDLC in 2022. He then joined a Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon-led project called Nakama in early 2023, which quickly became defunct, but it didn't take long for the Frenchman to join up with MOUZ NXT amidst a slew of changes in the team.

He averaged a 1.09 rating in his time with MOUZ NXT and peaked in 41st place of the HLTV ranking this June after making several deep runs in CCT and RES tournaments throughout the year.

2024-09-04 23:17

tbf with that kind of praise coming from apex, and the fact this young guy is french, would not surprise me to see him play for vitality in 2 or less years if his development continues in this trajectory.

I would love it, but we can't know for sure he will have the level for a top 5 team

yeah, right now its uncertain, surely hes good enough to join 3dmax and be a good player on that squad, but would he rather join 3dmax or an international team to continue his development? Honestly if he left mouz for a half decent org that is in esl challenger league or similarly higher level events, it wouldnt be a bad call. OG, Monte, or GL wouldnt be a bad idea if he wanted to join an international roster. I feel like he'd be taking a step back by joining endpoint, bc.game, or ITB. he's definitely good enough to be on the roster of half the teams currently in the EU RMR, but idk if he's the right fit for a majority of those teams.

2024-09-05 01:33

I totally agree and hope that's what will happen

2024-09-05 01:35

If he said he deserves top10 why not vitality?

2024-09-05 06:52

Because apex don t really mean it its just saying to help him

2024-09-05 09:15

He surely means it, he has been pretty vocal on the younger guys of the french scene not working hard enough, so he would not say that unless he thinks it

why is he not getting picked by ldlc or dbl poney?

maybe because they don't exist anymore

2024-09-04 23:42

because none of these teams exist anymore genius. and he was in LDLC until the org stopped all activity. and if you really wanted to know you could have checked for yourself: hltv.org/team/4674/ldlc#tab-rosterBox hltv.org/team/11003/dbl-poney#tab-roster..

2024-09-04 23:45

CLUELESS

2024-09-05 00:03

I mean…. A frenchie could take a dump and apEX would still praise it, just for being french Guy is as biased if i have ever seen biased

2024-09-05 05:29

This is so wrong. He was never afraid to publicly criticize French players who did not try hard enough in his eyes, like Kyojin. When he talks to young people from the sub-top he is also very tough, and only helps those who deserve it through their mentality and the fact that they work hard. apex knows that he owes his career to working very hard, so he is very demanding from this point of view with the youngs. He always defended the move to switch to an international lineup, saying that French players had become lazy, did not have the level to play in the best teams in the world, etc. Last year he even said that if Vitality had remained 100% French, the team would never have been able to win tournaments. In short, he is absolutely not biased towards the French, on the contrary.

2024-09-05 14:03

aAa returns to CS, will build a young french core around Neityu.

2024-09-04 23:54

TRUE

2024-09-05 00:13

KING NEITYU

2024-09-05 00:47

So G2 move malbs to Niko's spots and pick him up right

2024-09-05 00:59

Neityu to ENCE confirmed: x.com/natu/status/1831440686660661383

2024-09-05 01:00

Would be a great pick up

2024-09-05 01:12

Yes, but they also need to get rid of gla1ve

2024-09-05 01:18

apEX would not heap praise upon a nobody, so let's see how this kid goes... interested.

2024-09-05 03:56

High praise for him so why not pick him up? Scared to do so? Huge gamble?

yeah so apEX is being a hypocrite here by not walking his talk. apEX you are so confident that he will play in top 10 team yes? walk your talk by getting him into your team then? if not, its as good as he didnt say anything. to clarify, im not apex hater, i regard him as one of the GOATs. but i will call bullshit out as i would with any other player, even s1mple or monesy or donk or zywoo etc

more like vitality just won one of the biggest tournaments and mezii despite all the memes is still an equally good anchor so they dont need to pick him up

i would not disagree with you at all, apEX at the moment definitely has this counterargument to throw out.

2024-09-05 06:28

Yeah he said top 10 next year so he is asking for a team on like the NIP or heroic level to give him a chance to get experience

2024-09-05 07:31

Bro how is this being a hypocrite he's praising someone's good work to help him find a team He didn't say he was ready for t1 either

2024-09-05 12:12

dont mind what i said. anw i saw him type "time to pick him up" and why doesnt apex himself pick him up. cause its big gamble and he knows it. and he wants others to take the gamble instead.

2024-09-05 12:33

He doesn't even want to let another team make a "gamble". The purpose of his post was for neityu to find a nice t2 team to gain experience from, to then be ready for t1. Of course he's not gonna pick him up from mouz nxt when he didn't just left an academy team

2024-09-05 12:48

Vitality have consistently been a top 3 team When looking at top 10, we have Astralis, Liquid, Complexity, VP Dunno about you but I don't see these teams as the same caliber right now

2024-09-05 07:38

Maybe vp - electronic +neityu

2024-09-05 08:03

Apex promised he would go bald after Paris major but lied.

stewie promised he would go bald after Dallas but lied.

2024-09-05 16:02

Dude is 1,1 (1,0 impact) in T3 scene. WTH?!?! Is this article paid AD? Players with significantly better stats failed in T1 teams multiple times before. What is Apex on? I want some too...

2024-09-05 14:05

i dont get how is this article worth material

2024-09-05 14:30

hes the future french superstar rifler. One day we will get ZywOo, Neityu and apEX alongside 2 other french stars

2024-09-05 15:36

If mouz academy kick you that’s a sign that you are bad

2024-09-05 18:30

dont talk if u dont know shit his contract expired and HE wanted to explore options to be able to play t1 tournaments

2024-09-05 20:04

If mouz tought he is good they would offer a new contract Edit: flag

2024-09-05 20:05

why would they do that if their main roster already works and he plays same roles as jimpphat Edit: check what his unbiased coach says x.com/TOBIZcsgo/status/18310574168695976..

2024-09-05 20:07

Same reason every org: money. If he is good as you say is free money to gave him new contract. If they don’t gave him a new one if because they consider paying a salary is not worth it

2024-09-05 20:09

idk if you are trolling at this point he could've stayed in the academy but that means he can't participate in the t1 tourneys where the main mouz roster plays, just read the article

2024-09-05 20:13

Well he looked really good in MOUZ NXT, seems like a really solid anchor, maybe someone will give him a shot, I think he could be a good prospect for the future. GL Neityu, hopefully you will be able to make a step up!
