The Romanian organization Nexus added Valentin "SEMINTE" Bodea and Cristian "sXe" Nita in hopes of reinvigourating the squad, replacing Ivan "iM" Mihai and Raul "Blytz" Gligor.

SEMINTE and sXe represented Nexus in 2017, helping them break into the top50 of our rankings, but ended up parting ways with Nexus and creating a mixed Romanian-international lineup under XPC before the end of the year.

The squad wasn't able to break out as XPC, leading to the Romanian duo moving on and playing with the international mixture AllTheStars since May.

Now, sXe and SEMINTE will return to the fold and play with a fully-Romanian team again - Nexus. Alongside them will be a notable Romanian trio: Adrian "XELLOW" Guta, Catalin-Ionut "BTN" Stanescu, and Costin "jaxi" Vrînceanu.

To make place for the two returnees, Nexus let go of two of their youngest players, iM and Blytz, citing lack of results as the reason.

With this lineup, Nexus aims to compete internationally, with a soon-to-be-ready gaming house set to help them to reach their goals:

"When we started Nexus Gaming, we gathered the best players from Romania that strive for international performance and personal progress, and gave them the proper environment in order to achieve results on the international scene."

"At first, we started with a mix of experienced players and young talents. Soon, after adding iM and Blytz three months ago, we realized they were two undiscovered talents of our country. Although they managed to get used to the core's playstyle, the results have not been the ones that we were looking for. Thus, we decided to bring in sXe and SEMINTE - former Nexus members, with whom the team managed to get a high ranked in Europe."

"Now we are setting up a gaming house for our players and starting in August, the team will train even harder than before in order to get to our ultimate goal."
