Valorant pro: I'm ready to return to CS:GO
Daniel “mertz” Mertz is set to leave Valorant after only six months.
The former Heroic and North AWPer is looking to return to competitive CS:GO after his transition to the rival FPS shooter Valorant back in September last year. On Twitter, the Danish AWPer has stated that his current team won’t block a potential shift.
- Heretics have allowed me to explore my options for next split. I'm more motivated than ever to return to CS:GO and prove what I'm capable of, mertz said.
In an interview with Dust2.dk, mertz explained the transition to Valorat by stating it’s about him not “having the same passion for my otherwise lifelong love for Counter-Strike”. However now, it seems like the 23-year-old Dane have found some rediscovered love and motivation for the game.
mertz has previously represented teams like Heroic and North, where he once was seen as one of the most promising AWPing talents in Counter-Strike at one time. Despite the high potential, mertz never really managed to live up to the expectations, which also stood clear after his latest tenures at Nordavind and x6tence.
