Luken Makes a Triumphant Return to 9z
After a notable absence spanning two and a half years, Luca ‘Luken’ Nadotti returns to 9z, rejoining the lineup to reinforce the team’s efforts in competitive play.
Luken’s history with 9z is significant; this marks his third time with the team, having previously played with them for four months in 2019 and five months in 2022, which culminated in a successful qualification for PGL Major Antwerp alongside Martin ‘rox’ Molina, making them the first Argentinian players to achieve this milestone.
This move corroborates part of a report from Dust2.com.br on January 6, which also hinted at the inclusion of Gustavo ‘yel’ Knittel as a coach.
Luken’s role will be as a rifler, taking the spot of Nicolás ‘buda’ Kramer in the evolving roster of 9z as they prepare for the upcoming 2025 season.
He returns after having played a modest 47 maps since July 2022, predominantly with BESTIA at the start of 2023. Notably, his performance as a stand-in for 9z in May last year earned him a commendable 1.10 rating over 8 maps.
As 9z gears up for the 2024 season, they anticipate Luken’s addition to bolster their squad, especially after a year marked by a semi-final appearance at IEM Dallas and a significant win at FiReLEAGUE Global Finals.
Current Roster of 9z:
- Maximiliano Gonzalez Maximiliano ‘max’ Gonzalez
- Franco Garcia Franco ‘dgt’ Garcia
- Antonio Martinez Antonio ‘MartinezSa’ Martinez
- Matias Ibañez Matias ‘HUASOPEEK’ Ibañez Hernandez
- Luken Nadotti Luca ‘Luken’ Nadotti
