Monte add afro and hAdji

The French duo will play with the team for the rest of the season.

afro will take up AWPing in Monte

Monte have announced the additions of Aurélien "⁠afro⁠" Drapier and Ali "⁠hAdji⁠" Haïnouss for the rest of the season to bring their roster back to full strength.

The announcement comes after the team transferred Sergiy "⁠DemQQ⁠" Demchenko to Passion UA and revealed that Olek "⁠hades⁠" Miskiewicz, who is expected to sign for G2 on loan, had stepped down from their active roster.

hAdji joins Monte after a short period in Adventurers, during which he averaged a 1.12 rating. This will be the 29-year-old's second stint in the organization after his three-month stand-in stint in 2024.

afro comes into the team from Mercenaires. The French AWPer spent less than a month in the orgless squad and helped them qualify for the PGL Astana Closed Qualifier.

Monte is so fucking disrespectfull to their own fans, it's crazy. Media guy is a retard and whoever made the roster decisions should never do it again. Only +br0 was a good move

I thought afro was the cornerstone of Mercenaries and the guy left after a month, sad for NBK. Work as talent NBK, you did really good.
