Nivera: "They know i'm hungry and that i want to play"
The Belgium "super-sub" talks about Vitality's current arrangement and his future
In an interview with HLTV, Nabil "Nivera" Benrlitom talks about his role in the Vitality roster as well his upcoming future.
The 19-year-old Nivera has had great success over the last couple of months. Whilst, being Vitality's sixth member he has outperformed most of his teammates and proved that he is Vitality's secret weapon, to be used when needed.
Nivera is currently only being used on the maps Inferno and Dust2. Especially on Dust2, he has proven himself more than capable to perform at a very high level, wielding either a rifle or as a secondary AWP'er alongside "ZywOo".
Nivera seems to put his team's performance as the highest priority. When asked about why he is, currently, only being used on two maps he answered:
"I came to the conclusion that only playing a couple of maps would be a smaller workload and therefore I would be able to devote more time to making sure I was really good on them."
However, there is no doubt that the young star is looking to get more playtime in the future. When asked about his desires moving forward he emphasizes his hunger for the game:
"They know I'm hungry and that I want to play. As of now, it's just the two maps, but maybe in the future, we can add some more. Why not? It will also be dependent on team performances and stuff like that."
Once again putting emphasis on Vitality's success as a team above his own personal success, it is clear that Nivera is a team player and shows his willingness to adapt in order to benefit his team. Whether or not we will see Nivera on more maps in the near future is uncertain. One thing is for sure, however, the young Belgium star has everyone's attention at the moment.
As Vitality takes on Mousesports for the opening game of Blast Premier Fall Finals, we will presumably see Nivera in action as the two first maps will be Inferno and Dust2. Watch the game LIVE at this current moment of time here:
