CS2: Dav1deuS leaves 9Z

Following his decision, Dav1deuS is no longer a part of 9Z.

Although David “⁠dav1deuS⁠” Tapia Maldonado has been a part of 9Z for some time and was one of the best rifles, he will no longer continue to play for La Violeta. According to the most recent news, he decided to step down from Latin America’s leading Counter-Strik squads.

Dav1deuS’s decision

Once it became clear that dav1deuS was no longer a part of 9Z, the player decided to release a statement where he addressed what caused his decisions. According to it, the 23-year-old player wanted to organize his goals and feel happy again. This indicates that he was probably not having fun recently.

This is definitely a huge blow for 9Z because dav1deuS was one of the squad’s best players. He is famous for being the best CSGO player in China and one of the most successful in South America, but it seems like we won’t see him in action anytime soon. Let’s not forget he is 23 years old, which means he may decide to come back to the professional scene.

His most recent accomplishment

CS2 fans who’ve followed dav1deuS and his team know that the squad reached the playoffs of ESL Pro League Season 18. The team was able to eliminate Virtus.Pro, but it felt short against Moviestar Riders, which put an end to the squad’s conquest.
