Imperial signs Santino ‘try’ Rigal, who left 9z’s roster in October for health reasons. Despite wanting to return in March, he has been sidelined since then.
The Brazilian veteran was part of the active roster for a year and contributed to an impressive run at PGL Major Copenhagen, helping the team advance through the Challengers Stage and improve their HLTV world rankings. However, the team’s performance has declined, leading to this move.
The player ‘try’ achieved a rating of 1.14 (with an impact of 1.12) over 135 maps during his ten-month tenure with 9z. However, he has yet to play an official match in Counter-Strike 2, so he will need to prove his form in the new game when he joins.
