Luken becomes free agent after split with 9z

The Argentine is looking for a new home after only three months with the organization.

Luca "⁠Luken⁠" Nadotti has announced that his cooperation with 9z ended on mutual agreement, seeing him become a free agent that is open to new challenges.

Despite his short stint with the team, Luken managed to qualify for the Challengers Stage of the PGL Antwerp Major and averaged a 1.11 rating for 9z in 2022 as the team's AWPer.

Luken returned from a two-year CS:GO hiatus in January of 2022 to join 9z as a replacement for outgoing teenage star Santino "⁠try⁠" Rigal, but despite some good results, won't be continuing with the team.

"I will surely explain more on my stream about my exit and what I am looking for in my future since it is much easier for me to express myself and tell you things in words and not in writing," Luken wrote in a Twitlonger.

"It is important that you know that it was a mutual agreement not to continue playing in 9z, I am very grateful to the guys on the team, they are all great people, great teammates, and good players and I wish them the best in everything they personally propose, that I want so much."
