Brazilian organization Imperial has announced the signing of 19-year-old sniper Santino “try” Rigal. This is interesting because try previously left the active 9z roster due to health issues and did not play for several months, but now he is returning with ambition.

The signing of try could be a crucial moment for Imperial, as the player has previously shown good results, and his return to the scene could affect the further development of the team.

In October, Santino “try” Rigal retired from the active roster of 9z due to health problems. Although he expressed his desire to return to the server in March, his return was delayed. Now, after several months of absence, try has signed a contract with Imperial.

Try replaces Brazilian veteran Henrique “HEN1” Teles, who was relegated to the bench. HEN1, who joined the team a year ago, helped Imperial to the Challengers stage at the PGL Major Copenhagen. However, the team's results have recently deteriorated, which led to changes in the lineup. Henrique “HEN1” Teles said that the decision to move him to the bench was unexpected. “This decision took me by surprise,” he said.
