The two-time Major champion, who has not been too active in the top tier since the release of Counter-Strike 2, has spent nearly five months as an in-game leader of Revenant Esports, who he joined in June as a part of a major roster rebuild.
However, his stint with the team has not led to any notable accomplishments, as they have been attending mostly lower-division competitions — including the Champion of Champions Tour.
With the recent departure of Adelin “adeX” Nica and NBK- entering free agency, Revenant Esports are now down to three players.
Regardless of his lack of accomplishments over the last year, NBK- stated he is ready to join any Counter-Strike team which intends to be competitive.
In the announcement, he explained that many factors outside the game have prevented him from focusing purely on Counter-Strike, but now he feels ready to compete at the top level.
NBK- has not played for a top-tier team since late 2023, when Team Falcon released their entire lineup and started a rebuild with Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer, Pavle “maden” Bo?kovi?, Alvaro “SunPayus” Garcia, and Emil “Magisk” Reif.
The French in-game leader has previously played for some of the top European Counter-Strike esports teams, including G2 Esports, Team Vitality, OG, and MOUZ.
Most of his accomplishments came in the earlier years of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, when he won DreamHack Winter 2014 with Team LDLC and DreamHack Open Cluj?-?Napoca 2015 with Team Envy.
NBK- won his last S-Tier title in June 2019, when he led Team Vitality to victory in the Esports Championship Series Season 7 Finals.
