Nitr0 Reportedly Considering Return To CS:GO From Valorant

CS:GO Intel Grand Slam winner Nick 'nitr0' Cannella is reportedly weighing a possible return to the game that made him famous in esports and ending his tenure with Valorant, where he played for 100 Thieves, sooner than expected.
What's more, a return to Team Liquid is a potential destination, according to a report upcomer .
Sources say that after 100 Thieves sees off their coach Hector FrosT Rosario, the future of the roster also remains uncertain.
100 Thieves narrowly missed out on being booked into Valorant Champions in December after losing 9rd place to Cloud3 Blue in the Last Chance Qualifier.
Is Nitr0 back in CS:GO?
This leaves the 100 Thieves roster in a precarious position, and if the coach is reportedly gone, nitr0 could be next.
With sources close to the organization now reporting that he is considering a return to CS:GO, pieces of the puzzle may fall into place.
There are already rumors of nitr0 commitment to Valorant after fans noticed that he plays in FACEIT matches along with former Liquid EliGE teammate. He even joked that he would "save" Team Liquid.
CS:GO analyst Mowisnake also covered nitr0's match history, revealing that he has been playing consistently throughout the week since November 7th.
Of course, this could just be a hiatus from Valorant, but given the rumors circulating and CS:GO fans' hopes for a comeback, speculation is bound to rise.
A return to Team Liquid would make for an exciting story, but whether it will be enough to get the organization back on a winning path is another question.
FalleN leaving messages with the goal of reforming the Brazilian roster, of course, could give way to a return to the IGL for nitr0, who led Team Liquid's old era-defining roster.
It also raises questions about the next steps for 100 Thieves in Valorant, who will surely be looking for a proven replacement if nitr0 returns to their old fields in Counter-Strike.
