Nitr0's long-awaited return to Counter-Strike 2 has been abruptly halted after negotiations with American organization M80 reportedly fell through at the last minute.

Despite extensive behind-the-scenes signing talks, the two sides have failed to finalize a contract agreement for nitr0 to replace the departing Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa, according to a report from dust2.us today. This surprising setback at the Counter-Strike negotiating table leaves nitr0 still searching for a new team.
In recent weeks, nitr0 has had multiple prospects for his return to North America. Perhaps surprisingly, heavyweight NA teams Liquid and Complexity have shown no interest in hiring the veteran IGL, with Liquid still exploring market options and Complexity reportedly content with his current leadership.
Dust2.us suggested that nitr0 and M80 couldn't agree on roles, especially after M80 recently acquired Elias "s1n" Stein as their new IGL. This split, which eventually turned into an irreconcilable disagreement, left the two parties too far apart for a deal.
