NBK-'s Mercenaires to attend Fragadelphia Vegas amidst search for organization

18-3-2025 19:26

The team, which also features afro and misutaaa, has already qualified for the European PGL Astana Closed Qualifier.

NBK- returned to activity in Mercenaries

Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt's team Mercenaires is looking for organizational support and is set to stick together for the foreseeable future, the French veteran announced.

The squad is also on the search for a French-speaking coach "who can fully integrate into their project and guide them moving forward."

NBK- is joined by free agents Kévin "⁠misutaaa⁠" Rabier, Aurélien "⁠afro⁠" Drapier, and Paul "⁠PerX⁠" von Erdmannsdorff in the team, alongside Thomas "⁠Djoko⁠" Pavoni, who recently got benched by 3DMAX in favor of Alexandre "⁠bodyy⁠" Pianaro.

This five-man roster made their HLTV debut in the first PGL Astana open qualifier, where they secured their spot at the closed stage after beating Lazer Cats, moneytrees, and TNL.

NBK-'s Mercenaires & AMKAL make it out of PGL Astana OQ #1

Alongside the Astana qualifier, the team has announced they will attend Fragadelphia's next event, which will take place in Las Vegas from April 25-27 as part of LVL UP EXPO.

There, they will join Ninjas in Pyjamas, M80, and Complexity, who are already signed up for the tournament.

Mercenaires are:

Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt
Kévin "⁠misutaaa⁠" Rabier
Aurélien "⁠afro⁠" Drapier
Thomas "⁠Djoko⁠" Pavoni
Paul "⁠PerX⁠" von Erdmannsdorff

Shouldn't Djoko and Afro join him

2025-03-19 01:17

Obviously they're good enough to be picked in project, which is not the case for Scream. They were active in top 1.5 or top 2 a few weeks ago, Scream was benched from T3 6.5 years ago because he was too trash even for cash cups. Only delusional fanboys who can't stop crying looking at his sexy hairstyle every night still mention his name

2025-03-19 01:21

good comment, i gonna sleep with smile all until morning now, thanks

2025-03-19 01:26

"They were active in top 1.5 or top 2 a few weeks ago" by "top" do you mean "tier" ?

2025-03-19 01:34

Yes my bad I'm drunk

2025-03-19 01:43

Why no Nivera is the better question

2025-03-19 08:42

There was a stream where shox, apex, smithzz and Jackz played with scream and they were literally teaching him how to peek in cs2 because he only plays valo

2025-03-19 09:12

Good luck to the old boys:)

2025-03-18 19:30

No hate but umm that name is kinda cringe. It sounds like an OSRS clan name or a Clash Royale clan name.

2025-03-18 19:31

OSRS clan names were always so bad 😆

2025-03-18 19:54

Those were primitive clan names right there. Lol

2025-03-18 20:24

Hog ice spirit bridge first play clan

he's of French descent according to liquipedia

2025-03-18 19:41

Paul is a latin name, german is not latin but france is, so i'd assume

2025-03-18 19:59

Paul is a completely normal name in Germany. Also, his last name is extremely german, although it is an aristocratic name, maybe that has to do with his ability to speak french I looked it up and the "Erdmannsdorf" dynasty is an old saxon noble family, so he might have had to learning french from a young age

2025-03-18 19:42

2025-03-18 19:45

2025-03-18 19:57

Even with only NA teams i doubt nip would have won

Bring back DBL PONEY!

The true core of that team is 3DMAX now, but there are enough players from that lineup here to possibly claim the name...

2025-03-18 20:42

DBL Poney was the best name HEET was a complete mess

2025-03-19 22:53

I agree on it being an amazing name.

2025-03-20 13:55

All CS players return to CS it's just a given hltv.org/news/31975/nbk-transitions-to-v..

2025-03-18 20:49

Saw this mf on wow classic hardcore with kioshima, guess he died then

2025-03-18 21:26

2025-03-18 21:32

if a tier 2 team like EF or mongolz announces they’re going to fragadelphia i might just have to make the cross country trip

2025-03-18 22:32

Gentle mate or kcorp ?
