The 27-year-old has joined MOUZ on a free transfer following the end of his contract with OG, whom he had signed for in December 2019. After struggling to find a new team following his benching by OG, NBK announced in June 2021 that he was pursuing a career in Valorant, stating that it was \u201ctime for a change.\u201d He began grinding Valorant and even took part in the BLAST Spike Nations #2 for Team France alongside his former CS:GO teammate Kenny \u2018kennyS\u2019 Schrub, but as time went on, he started to have second thoughts about his decision. \u201cThere were opportunities in Valorant, I practiced a lot in Valorant with teams,\u201d he said. \u201cBut there was always some element missing to really be where I want to be. \u201cAt this point in my career, I really want to be in a place where I believe in everyone and in winning trophies more than anything.\u201d Joining MOUZ NBK brings with him a wealth of experience, having played for some of the best French CS:Source and CS:GO teams of the last decade. He has won multiple international titles throughout his career, including two CS:GO Major championships, DreamHack Winter 2014 with LDLC and DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca 2015 with Envy, also making HLTV\u2019s top 20 player ranking every year between 2013 and 2015. On MOUZ, NBK will find a team in need of a fillip following the departure of star player Robin \u2018ropz\u2019 Kool to FaZe earlier in January. He is the second addition to the squad in the off-season after Hungarian AWPer \u00c1d\u00e1m \u2018torzsi\u2019 Torzs\u00e1s was promoted from the academy roster to replace Frederik \u2018acoR\u2019 Gyldstrand. 2021 was a rough year for MOUZ, with a first place in Flashpoint 3 one of the few bright spots. They crashed out of PGL Major Stockholm in 12th-14th place and ended the year with a last-place finish at IEM Winter.

But NBK noted that his track record speaks for itself. \u201cEvery single one of my teams has been successful,\u201d he said. \u201cThe worst was probably reaching No.6 in the world. \u201cSuccess is coming. It\u2019s just a matter of when it will come.
