BESTIA has confirmed its separation from Noktse and Pino, with Buda and ShaRpy expected to be its successors.

Argentine CS2 team BESTIA announced on Tuesday that it is parting ways with two core members, effective immediately. They are 33-year-old veteran in-game leader Nicolás Davila (ID: Noktse) and 40-year-old head coach Rodrigo Mannarino (ID: pino).

As founding members of BESTIA since its inception in February 2023, Noktse and pino have demonstrated remarkable dominance in numerous B-tier tournaments, including CCT Season 1 South American Series 7, 1XPLORE Latin America Cup 1, FireLEAGUE Buenos Aires, CBCS Masters, TWC South American Series 2, Frost and Fire South American Season 1, CCT Season 3 South American Series 1, ESL Challenger League S50 South American Season 1, 2025 AGS Cup, CCT Season 3 South American Series 6, and DraculaN Season 4. However, due to their inability to achieve a breakthrough in Major tournaments, BESTIA ultimately decided to adjust its roster.

According to an exclusive report by X user infocsarg, BESTIA has confirmed that dribbler Nicholas Kramer (ID: buda) will be transferred to the position of team in-game leader, and assistant coach Alfonso Bastos (ID: shaRpy) will be promoted to head coach.

BESTIA also expressed its gratitude to Noktse and pino in a statement: "We have shared countless wonderful moments over the past three years. Today, we must say goodbye to two core members who have been with us from the very beginning: Nicolás Davila and Rodrigo Mannarino."

"Throughout this period, they have always been the backbone of our journey and the protagonists of thousands of important moments in the team's history—both on and off the server. Their glorious achievements include: winning a total of 13 tournament titles, qualifying for RMR events 3 times, qualifying for the Major once, and qualifying for domestic and international offline tournaments 8 times."

"We sincerely thank them for their unwavering dedication, impeccable professionalism, and all their efforts to defend the team's honor in both favorable and unfavorable circumstances."

"Their time at BESTIA will forever be etched in our memories, and we will always be grateful for it."

Following this personnel reshuffle, BESTIA's current roster is expected to be as follows:

Rifleman: Ignacio Rodriguez (ID: nacho)

Sniper: Cassio Santos (ID: cass1n)

Free agent: Thomas Korner (ID: tomaszin)

Commander: Nicholas Kramer (ID: buda)

Head Coach: Alfonso Bastos (ID: shaRpy)
