Indonesian team BOOM Esports have announced the acquisition of former TEAMnxl> player Saibani “fl1pzjder” Rahmat.
The news comes after it was revealed that TEAMnxl> members, including fl1pzjder, did not renew their contracts with the organization starting from May.
Under the TEAMnxl> banner, he helped them to win First Strike Indonesia, VCT Stage 1 Challengers 2, and VCT Stage 2 Challengers 2, as well as numerous playoffs standings.
