Nifty moves up to ECL with recently promoted squad
Dust2.us has confirmed with Take Flyte that the team is set to enlist former Envy and Renegades player Noah "Nifty" Francis in ESL Challenger Season 45, with the move seeing Nifty take over as IGL for the recently departed Alexander "zanz" Diaz. The move will also see Nifty continue his climb up through ESEA's divisions since making his return to competition in late 2022 with 4ORMULA.
Nifty left 4ORMULA in mid-March after the team failed in his stated goals of making the BLAST.tv Paris Major and ESL Challenger League. While the former goal was ultimately quite unrealistic, 4ORMULA was closer to achieving the latter goal, making Advanced playoffs before falling in 9th-12th place.
Interestingly, with this new team, Nifty will be taking a backseat in the AWPing department as Umar "Umar" Qaiser is set to remain Take Flyte's primary AWPer, while Nifty will be the secondary AWP.
With Nifty, Take Flyte are now:
-
Umar "Umar" Qaiser
-
Kyle "Wolffe" Greenfield
-
Nicholas "nicx" Lee
-
Noah "Nifty" Francis
Take Flyte will need to find one more member before ESL Challenger League Season 45 begins on April 4th.
