Boltz’s Transfer Window Journey: Negotiations, Team Preferences, and Potential Opportunities

According to Boltz, the most progress in negotiations was made with RED Canids, but later Matilla favored Marcelo “coldzera” David, who suited the vacant positions in the team. With RED, things were a little more advanced. I spoke to some players, had three meetings with staff and players, and RED wanted a change. We were already negotiating a dismissal fine because they needed to buy me back from Imperial. We were negotiating, and then coldzera came. They only wanted one player, they wanted a player who plays on the block, and I’m a winger, so they chose coldzera, and I was left out. It was an interesting offer from RED. I think their team is very good; they have a lot of potential. This offer from RED was before PaiN. We were communicating, and then PaiN came. Those were the two teams I was most interested in during the transfer window and the ones that made the most progress,” Boltz said during a live broadcast. Boltz, a seasoned esports professional, provided fans with valuable insights into his negotiations and the decision-making process during his live broadcast. He expressed that discussions with RED Canids were at an advanced stage, involving multiple meetings with both the team’s staff and players. The negotiations even reached the point of considering a dismissal settlement to facilitate his return to the team from Imperial. However, the situation changed when the opportunity arose for coldzera, who better fit the specific role RED Canids sought to fill.

Despite the turn of events, Boltz acknowledged that RED Canids had presented an intriguing offer and spoke highly of the team’s potential. However, shortly after, PaiN Gaming entered the picture and became a significant contender in Boltz’s considerations. These two teams stood out to him during the transfer window, and he felt they had made the most progress in their discussions. During the live broadcast, Boltz addressed viewer questions and clarified some rumors surrounding his potential moves. He confirmed having conversations with Grêmio and KaBuM but denied receiving offers from FURIA, Fluxo, Legacy, and LOUD. Boltz emphasized that he was looking for a team that made sense to him and offered a competitive environment. While he expressed his passion for competing, he also stressed the importance of not accepting any offer solely for the sake of playing. He made it clear that he was patiently waiting for the right opportunity and that he was prepared to move forward with his life if it didn’t materialize. Boltz has been on the bench for Imperial since October, marking his last match for the team. In the following months, he participated in the 2024 IEM Dallas and PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen open qualifiers with THE PLAN in January and February.
