Gabriel "NEKIZ" Schenato will play for 00Nation

Gabriel "NEKIZ" Schenato has been announced as a new member of 00NATION. Leonardo "n9xtz" Santos, a youthful player, will move to the bench as the 27-year-old from paiN joins the team. The announcement coincides with allegations that the Brazilian crew is leaving the Norwegian firm in order to launch their own project.

NEKIZ joins the team following three separate appearances as paiN's representative. But recently paiN’s performance has not been up to the mark, after failing to advance past the Challengers Stage in Paris and finishing last at ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, the organization subsequently pondered a roster makeover, with NEKIZ being the first to go. He has now joined the 00NATION team, which although won the Pinnacle Cup Brasil 1 shortly before the roster failed to produce results overall, particularly after their captain Epitacio "TACO" de Melo left the squad in February.
