CS:GO pro Nick “nitr0” Cannella was recently benched in Team Liquid. Ouch! But according to latest rumors, he will soon join a Valorant team.

At the beginning of August, Nick “nitr0” Cannella was benched. Nitr0 has been with the team for over 5 years, so it came as quite a shock to many. The pro also played a major role in Liquid’s success during their 2019 run when the team was ranked No. 1. Days later, he was replaced by Michael “Grim” Wince.

Immediately when the news came to light, many raised the usual question: Is he switching to Valorant? After all, Riot’s new tactical shooter already has a reputation for attracting professionals from other games, especially CS:GO. Almost every major and successful team in Valorant is made up of former players from CS:GO, Overwatch and other titles. It’s also no secret that players who come from other shooters have the most success in Valorant. Some good examples of this are G2 Esports and Team SoloMid. Both teams are made up entirely of former CS:GO players – and the two teams are arguably leaders in their respective regions (for now).

Switching from nitr0 to Valorant?
According to ESPN, several pro teams have already approached Cannella in an attempt to sign him to their squads. There is still no official confirmation from nitr0 regarding the rumors, but chances are that we will get a big update sooner or later.

Many other CS:GO players have already switched sides and turned to Valorant: Spencer “Hiko” Martin, Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham, Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom, Jason “jasonR” Ruchelski…. What they all had in common was the fact that they had not been actively playing CS:GO for a while or had not had any success. Nitr0, on the other hand, was the in-game leader of one of, if not the most successful team of 2019 – so a change would be quite surprising.

Cannella has done well in Valorant so far and is already making a name for himself. The only thing missing is competitive experience in Riot’s new shooter, but that could change very soon.

Overwatch

Overwatch is a computer game by Blizzard Entertainment (Diablo 3, World of Warcraft) and a first-person shooter with individual fantasy elements. The game was released in May 2016.

In Overwatch, the player must choose between 21 unique characters, which can be freely selected in a loosely held classification system (offensive and defensive class, support unit and tanks).

A character’s three to four different abilities can be controlled and activated through the mouse and keyboard. The game modes already vary from scoring points to cargo hauling. Team play is required in both modes, as each character takes on a specific role in the battlefield (e.g. heal teammates, provide backup, or secure defensive lines).

The name Overwatch derives itself from a fictional elite military unit that came together when robots tried to subjugate humanity in a near future. Individual characters are associated with this unit in the game, while others oppose it. It is not yet known whether the storyline will continue in multiplayer.

Brawl

Brawl is a game mode in which time-limited rule variations of the well-known modes are drawn. Sometimes completely new game modes are used in Brawls.

Rule variations include, for example, the restriction to certain heroes or classes, changes to the cool-down times or certain cards. New game modes that have been playable so far include a soccer game and a PvE mode.

Usually, Brawls are restarted as Brawl of the Week every Tuesday at 22:00 UTC and are then playable for a week. On certain occasions, such as – Season al events, Brawls may also be playable for a longer or shorter period of time.

The game mode is comparable to the card chaos from Hearthstone and was activated for the first time in the beta phase on March 22, 2016 through a patch.
