Talented CS:GO player, Nabil "Nivera" Benrlitom who is currently sitting on French esports organization, Vitality's bench, might be considering a switch to Valorant. The 20-year-old is set to trial with Team Liquid's Valorant roster which is ready to try out a six-man lineup, as reported by Upcomer. If this move actually comes to fruition, we will witness Nivera play alongside his elder brother, Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom, one of the founding members of Liquid's Valorant lineup.
ScreaM, popularly known as 'The Headshot Machine', retired from competitive CS:GO in August 2020 to pursue a career in Valorant, where he has established himself as one of the best duelists in Europe. About a year later, Nivera is now ready to jump ship after missing out on top-tier CS:GO action for more than six months now.
Vitality Nivera is reportedly set to trial with Team Liquid's Valorant roster
The talented Belgian-Moroccan Counter-Strike player, Nivera might be on his way to an early retirement from competitive CS:GO, following his shift to Vitality's inactive roster six months ago in March 2021.
Having missed out on majority of the 2021 CS:GO circuit warming Vitality's bench, Nivera seems to have made a decision of switching to Valorant. As per reports, Team Liquid is interested in trying him out as a potential permanent player.
However, while he comes onboard as a potential permanent player down the line, Liquid has reportedly not decided on removing anyone from the current lineup. This means that the organization is ready to give six-man Valorant roster a try and see how things work out for them.
Trialing out Nivera also means that he will be playing alongside his elder brother, ScreaM, professionally in the same team for the first time ever. While Nivera himself is a talented player, so far he has not come close to ScreaM in regards to the overall standard of gameplay.
Team Liquid, after having represented the EMEA region at the VCT 2021: Stage 2 Masters - Reykjavík, failed to qualify for the upcoming VCT 2021: Stage 3 Masters - Berlin following a 5th-6th finish at VCT 2021: EMEA Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs.
Team Liquid's Valorant lineup if Nivera was to join them would look as follows,
James "Kryptix" Affleck
Nabil "Nivera" Benrlitom
Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom
Elias "Jamppi" Olkkonen
Travis “L1NK” Mendoza
Dom “soulcas” Sulcas
Connor “Sliggy” Blomfield - Coach
