He made his first appearance in the CS:GO scene in December 2012 when he joined GATHERS eSports and later played for 15 different teams, including Soldiers, MK3 e-Sports, Dexterity Team, Yakuz4 e-SPORTS, MasterMind, Kaos Latin Gamers, Team Project Evolution, IdX Gaming, INTZ eSports, Merciless Gaming, Furious Gaming, Keyd Stars, Merciless Gaming, YeaH! Gaming and NoTag.<\/p>\n<p>With his departure from the team, xand will end his year-and-a-half-long tenure as one of the two remaining players from the NoTag roster that was signed by INTZ in September 2018. The other is Marcelo &#8220;chelo&#8221; Cespedes.<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Good night guys, 2019 is over, a very good experience with INTZ and now it&#39;s time to look for a new home, I&#39;m looking for a new time, be it Brazilian, American or European, I have medium English and fluent Spanish, Contact me in case you need.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Alexandre Zizi (@xandfps) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/xandfps\/status\/1223371180113125377?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 31, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Back then, xand and chelo played alongside Jo\u00e3o &#8220;felps&#8221; Vasconcellos, Vito &#8220;kNgV-&#8221; Giuseppe and Jo\u00e3o &#8220;horvy&#8221; Horvath. The former NoTag quintet finished sixth at ESL Pro League Season 8 &#8211; North America, 13th-16th at the ESL Pro League Season 8 Finals and fifth-eighth at PGL Grand Slam 2018. The underwhelming results ushered the departure of felps in January 2019, while horvy and kNgV- left in May and September respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Xand&#8217;s most notable result with INTZ came in July 2019, when the Brazilian team finished third at the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019: Minors&#8217; Third-Place Play-In, thus qualifying for the Berlin Major Challengers Stage. Unfortunately, their stay in Germany was rather short-lived as they lost to North, Vitality and Grayhound, which saw them finish the first stage of the Major in last place.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, xand finished fourth at the <a href=\"\/iem-katowice\/\" title=\"IEM Katowice betting\">IEM Katowice<\/a> North American Qualifiers and fifth-eighth at both the DreamHack Open Leipzig and Anaheim events. Most recently, INTZ won the WINNERS League &#8211; Season 3: North America Invite Division with a commanding performance where they dropped only one match throughout the whole event. Xand averaged a 1.25 match rating in that run.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his stay with INTZ, xand averaged a 1.08 rating, won 55.5% of maps played and finished 60.7% of the maps he played with 1+ rating. His best tournament performance came at the DreamHack Open Anaheim qualifiers, where he averaged a 1.42 rating.<\/p>\n<p>With the departure of xand, INTZ are left with only four members on their CS:GO roster. There are no official announcements yet regarding which player will replace xand, but there is speculation that felps, currently an inactive player at MiBR, could rejoin his former team. <\/p>\n<p><strong>INTZ CS:GO roster:<\/strong><br \/>\nGustavo &#8220;yel&#8221; Knittel<br \/>\nRicardo &#8220;boltz&#8221; Prass<br \/>\nMarcelo &#8220;chelo&#8221; Cespedes<br \/>\nBruno &#8220;shz&#8221; Martinelli<br \/>\nAlessandro &#8220;Apoka&#8221; Marcucci (coach)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INTZ have released Alexandre &#8220;xand&#8221; Zizi from their CS:GO esports squad, as announced by the player on his official Twitter on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":10387,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1029,63,626,4,1028],"class_list":["post-10386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-alexandre-xand-zizi","tag-br","tag-cs-go","tag-featured","tag-intz"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
