Nivera leaves CS:GO and joins Liquid Valorant

Vitality have announced that they have parted ways with Nabil “Nivera” Benrlitom, who has decided to pursue a career in Valorant and join up with his brother Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom in Liquid’s VALORANT division.

The now-former CS:GO rifler had been sitting on the bench since Vitality’s results dipped at the beginning of 2021. Even though a spot opened up in the roster after Cédric “RpK” Guipouy announced his retirement, Vitality chose to replace him with Jayson “Kyojin” Nguyen instead.

Nivera was the first ever substitute in CS:GO and used to slot in for either Kévin “misutaaa” Rabier or Richard “shox” Papillon depending on the map Vitality played in a match.
