NBK reveals why he\u2019s leaving the French CSGO scene to play international DreamhackNathan \u2018NBK\u2019 Schmitt, wildcard of the #OMENChallenge and current CSGO free agent, spoke to Frankie Ward and Dexerto in London about the unique competition and his future plans. For ten years, the Natural Born Killer has operated solely in the French CSGO scene. Since the inception of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, NBK has played for every prominent French team that has entered the scene: Titan, LDLC, VeryGames, EnVyUs (before they became Team Envy), G2 Esports, and lastly Vitality. But after an extensive run in the French scene that netted him two major titles, the 25 year old is moving on to international waters, and is very excited by the prospect, as he told Frankie and Dexerto. \u201cI\u2019ve been in the French scene for 10 years..dealing with all of that. I\u2019m going international, I want to try something new.\u201d NBK was part of the original Vitality lineup that was announced when the organization formed in 2018. He is the first player of theirs to move on, after he was benched at the conclusion of the StarLadder Berlin major. NBK did not respond positively to the roster change. He hinted on his Discord channel that there was friction between him and certain players. He promised he would \u201cbeat the French teams\u201d no matter where he goes next. And on his Twitter biography, it reads \u201cBenchwarmer for @TeamVitality (get me out I wanna play).\u201d NBK revealed that he\u2019s had his eyes set on an international move in the past, but remained in the French scene: \u201cI was ready to go international last year before Vitality happened, and now I\u2019m very excited to go in that direction and make something happen.\u201d Featured: Check out Dexerto\u2019s coverage of the OMEN Challenge \u201cI don\u2019t want his advice, I\u2019ll play worse\u201d :joyful:@FaZeNiko tells @getfrank that he doesn\u2019t want @Ynk\u2019s help with 1 v 1 practice at the #OMENChallenge w\/@OMENbyHP pic.twitter.com\/948LAdnUDi \u2014 DEXERTO.COM (@Dexerto) September 20, 2019 NBK was unable to offer any breaking news or updates on either who his new teammates could be or what organization he\u2019ll play under, but did mention that he has \u201cgood plans.\u201d NBK\u2019s next move comes during a highly anticipated post-major roster shuffle.
