3DMAX replaces bodyy with misutaaa and brings NBK- into the staff

The French 3DMAX lineup is preparing for a major overhaul, sources close to journalist neL report. Alexandre "bodyy" Pianaro is expected to leave the starting lineup, with his spot to be taken by Kévin "misutaaa" Rabier from GenOne.

Legendary French player Nathan "NBK-" Schmitt will try himself in a coaching role for the first time: he is close to being appointed assistant coach. At the same time, the club plans to change its head coach — Damien "wasiNk" Dufour, who has already worked with 3DMAX before, will return to the helm in place of Pierre "YouKnow" Marco.

The reshuffle has been prompted by a poor start to the season: 3DMAX have only a 3-7 series record in HLTV matches, early exits from BLAST Bounty, IEM Krakow and PGL Cluj-Napoca, as well as a loss to mix team M1X KS in the RES Showdown 3 qualifier for BLAST Open Rotterdam.

NBK-, who began his career back in 2009 in CS:Source, has won two Majors and played for VeryGames, LDLC, Envy, Vitality and G2. Most recently he played for GenOne, where the team only showed occasional flashes, for example by reaching the top 4 at NODWIN Clutch Series 4.

For misutaaa this will be a return to a top French lineup for the first time since leaving Vitality in 2022. After that he tried to establish himself in international rosters such as Into the Breach, 9INE and FUT before returning to a French-speaking environment with GenOne.

If the deals go through, 3DMAX are expected to field the following lineup:

Filip "Graviti" Brankovic
Bryan "Maka" Canda
Pierre "Ex3rcice" Bulinge
Lucas "Lucky" Chastang
Kévin "misutaaa" Rabier

Damien "wasiNk" Dufour (coach)
Nathan "NBK-" Schmitt (assistant coach)
