Nitr0 to step down from Team Liquid – Grim to join in his stead

Yesterday, esports journalist for DBLTAP, Dekay, released a report identifying that Team Liquid will be making a major shake up in their CS:GO roster. The report entailed that their longest standing player Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella will be getting replaced by Triumph’s Michael “Grim” Wince. Here below is a link to Dekay’s report:

The report was backed up by a tweet from nitr0 himself, a few moments after the report was released. His tweet:

Until next time, friends.

Community reaction

This news shook the entire community, especially Team Liquid fans, so much so that Team Liquid co-Ceo, Steve Archancet released a video on twitter to clarify the situation:

We know the news today in cs has taken people by surprise, and we don't want to leave anyone in the dark – but, we just need a little more time to make sure we do what's right by our players and the community pic.twitter.com/b2ANuVPON3

Nitr0 has been playing under the Team Liquid organization since the 13th of January of 2015, so it will be very sad to see him leaving the organization, or stepping down from professional Counter-Strike.

Who is Grim?

Michael “Grim” Wince is an up and coming player who is determined to showcase his abilities in CS:GO. He’s played under multiple organizations and teams such as: SoaR, Dignitas, Spacestation, and most recently, Triumph. Most of his achievements were with the Triumph roster and he’s looking to grab more wins, under Team Liquid.
