b4rtiN to be excluded from 00 Nation acquisition

As talks continue to advance between 00 Nation and GODSENT, so do the stipulations in place between the negotiating organizations. It was reported last week by Dust2.com.br that the massive transfer between the two brands would include Bruno "b4rtiN" Câmara, however, according to a new report by Dust2.com.br, it appears the young talent may not be included in 00 Nation's plans.

It was initially proposed by 00 Nation to buy the entire GODSENT lineup besides Henrique "HEN1" Teles and build the lineup around Brazilian legend Marcelo "coldzera" David. As things have developed, however, the Norwegian organization is now returning to the idea of keeping Argentinan AWPer Santino "try" Rigal in the lineup and removing b4rtiN from the purchase, leaving him with HEN1 at GODSENT.

Although the two parties have not reached a finalized agreement, it has been reported by Dust2.com.br that they are nearing a deal and it is expected the two will reach an agreement soon. The completion of this transfer would mark a historic transition in Brazilian Counter-Strike history, sending three players and a coach over in one fell swoop as well as bolstering the 00 Nation lineup to a whopping eight players.

00 Nation's pivot to retaining try comes at a poor time for South American lineup 9z, as the organization was seeking to reunite with the stud AWPer after the departure of Luca "Luken" Nadotti. Should 00 Nation decide to follow through with the change of heart, try would be back on the starting lineup, avoiding the potential benching discussed in the prior report.

The deal only proved to be sweeter for 00 Nation, as the acquisition would also mean the inheritance of GODSENT's ESL Challenger Valencia and IEM Cologne Play-In slots. The two events take place in the first week of July, and would both serve as strong opportunities for the 00 Nation brand to get back on the map after a rather disappointing 2022 campaign.

With a massive shift hanging in the balance behind this potential transfer, both organizations have remained tight-lipped. After being asked for comment, 00 Nation stated that "in order not to disturb the current negotiations, we prefer not to comment on the rumors. We will soon return with official information". GODSENT offered even less information, stating the organization does not transfer market rumors.

If the trade is finalized, the two teams will look like:

• Eduardo "dumau" Wolkmer
