If i remember correctly nitr0 also said why he switch to cs because neon was coming and he thought meta will be changed and you have learn everything again so
that means in VAL you have to keep grinding and be creative to stay at top in comparison to CS
we have seen this with sen and 100T plus many different teams
and no hate to CS but nitr0 didnt played for more than 1 year yet he still playing in major so .....
