The team confirms both sides of the move

NTMR thanked peace for his time with the team on September 29 and announced Rokit's return shortly afterward. Both changes come directly from the organization's posts. Subsequent coverage places the move ahead of North America's October 10 Stage 3 start.

NTMR's roster also includes JUTSU, Painkiller, Wybie and Virtual, with iCy coaching. That establishes the announced lineup around the returning damage player. It does not, on its own, establish every map-specific selection or explain private reasons for peace's departure.

A returning player still enters a new context

Even when a player has worn the team's colors before, the competitive context can change. Teammates, opponents and the balance patch all influence what the return looks like in official play. The useful comparison is current coordination, not nostalgia for a previous version of the team.

Watch how NTMR's damage pair controls angles and how the supports respond when the team commits. Those observations will say more about the new lineup than an assumption that the transfer was caused by one match. Rokit's return and peace's departure are both confirmed by the organization. What changes tactically is a question for the next stage, with the current balance patch and the rest of the roster providing a different context from earlier appearances.
