The Brazilian esports organization officially announced the signing on Twitter, confirming earlier reports that they were targeting the three players. zevy, PKL, and t9rnay will complete Fluxo’s starting five and join Vinicius “?vsm?” Moreira and Lucas “?Lucaozy?” Neves on the CS:GO lineup.

Lucaozy and vsm are the only players left from Fluxo’s previous lineup after the organization benched Allan “?history?” Lawrenz, Adriano “?WOOD7?” Cerato, and Jo?o “?felps?” Vasconcellos to make space for the three new players.

Fluxo also announced the promotion of former analyst Joaquin “?lokomotioN?” Abasolo to head coach. Wilton “?zews?” Prado, the previous coach, parted ways with the organization earlier this month after less than a year in service.

Both zevy and PKL joined Fluxo from paiN after departing the esports organization over the weekend. PKL started with paiN in February 2019 and moved to the inactive roster in February this year due to a myriad of personal issues. He remained on the bench until paiN parted ways with him on Sunday morning.

zevy, on his end, started playing under paiN in August 2022 after a stint with the Sharks. During his time with the team, he rose to be one of the best AWPers in the South American region.

zevy departed paiN on Saturday following the team’s disappointing results after the BLAST.tv Paris Major. The CS:GO player joins Fluxo with an impressive 1.14 overall average rating during his time with paiN and a 1.07 rating on LAN.

During the last months of zevy’s tenure, paiN recorded some disappointing results during events. They were notably eliminated early in the BLAST.tv Paris Major Challengers Stage with a 2-3 record.

paiN also had poor showings in the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice Play-In and Electronic Sports League Challenger Katowice. Fluxo did not fare better during events, leaving the BLAST.tv Paris Major Challengers Stage with a 0-3 record.

Fluxo’s final addition, t9rnay, joins the team from RED Canids. He was a part of the lineup for seven months and, during this period, averaged a 1.18 rating. Besides Fluxo, several other teams approached t9rnay during the offseason, including Paquet��, paiN, and Leonardo “?leo_drk?” Oliveira for his new project.

The esports organization announced the news via a Twitter post, making it the third change to their lineup this offseason. Gabriel “NEKIZ” Schenato left the team weeks earlier and recently signed with 00NATION, while Wesley “hardzao” Lopes was also taken off the active lineup.

“We took different paths from today, but we can’t stop thanking you for going head-to-head with the best AWPs in the world. vlw for every kill and iconic photo, @zevyfps!” paiN wrote.

Zevy is not expected to spend any time without a team, as he is rumored to be on his way to Fluxo. The organization will also sign his former teammate, Vinicios “?PKL?” Coelho, to their CS:GO lineup.

Zevy started playing with paiN in August 2022 following his move from Sharks Esports. He replaced Gabriel “?nython?” Lino on the lineup and soon became one of the top AWPers in South America. In 2022, he helped the team win events like the CBCS Invitational and Electronic Sports League Challenger Melbourne.

PaiN also reached the grand finals of the Flow FiReLEAGUE 2022 Global Finals and had an impressive run in the BLAST.tv Paris Major Americas RMR. Zevy reached a 1.21 average rating during the event, helping paiN secure a place in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 and return to the Major circuit.

The AWPer averaged a 1.14 rating while with paiN, recording only three events with less than a 1.00 rating in 2023. The BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage was one of those occasions, with the player finishing with a 0.68 rating.

PaiN currently have only two players on their active lineup: Felipe “?skullz?” Medeiros and Rodrigo “?biguzera?” Bittencourt. They are reportedly targeting C��ssio “?cass1n?” Santos, FURIA Academy’s Kaue “?kauez?” Kaschuk, and Lucas “?lux?” Meneghini from Fluxo to fill their ranks.
