FireGamers have confirmed that Arthur "prd" Resende has been relieved of his duties.
This decision comes just days after the team's participation in the WCG, where they defeated fnatic in their last group encounter but still failed to go beyond the first stage.
Arthur "prd" Resende had joined FireGamers in September to fill the shoes of Bruno "bit" Fukuda, but he has now been shown the exit door for the third time in the space of months.
According to team captain Renato "nak" Nakano, internal problems, and not Resende's displays in Chengdu, were behind this decision.
"The main reason was his relationship with the other players... personal reasons, nothing to do with his ingame performance," Nakano told HLTV.org.
"The five of us spoke and prd himself realised it really was not right."
FireGamers have now a four-man roster, with Nakano indicating the new player will soon be unveiled.
"We are still looking for our fifth player, probably in a week at most we will announce him," he noted. "The team continue with plans for 2010 and we still have a lot to do to achieve our goals."
FireGamers have now:
Bruno "bruno" Ono
Renato "nak" Nakano
Lincoln "fnx" Lau
Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo
this whole aspx story is getting a little bit annoying. any time a brazilian new comes up, ASPX this, aspx that, let it go for crying out loud...
on topic: too bad guys. i really believed this team had a future ahead of them. nice strat caller, FANTASTIC awper, sick aimers, but now i dont see that bright future, cause i dont think they'r gonna get a better player then prd. oh well, i hope im wrong.

Cogu used to be the better awper around this world. He is as legend as HeatoN, Potti, SpawN, Fiskerr. Using an AWP he was a monster.
Nowadays he is almost retiring, then he has no more motivation to still playing, further our community is so unfair and uses to judge a very good player, just cuz his actions for now.
Well, FalleN is growing up as faster as possible.
This kind of turn-over in TOPs team is making us get confuse, since we can't bellieve aswell in their usually friendship words.

Hey my dear, i'm fluently :). However i've gone to USA in a few months ago. At least i don't use Portuguese lenguage in a wrong place :).
Before judge me, try to be better then.

I could notice a few mistakes that even dumb people wouldn't do.
I don't care if u've been in usa, that doesn't change the fact that u are not as fluent as you think.
ps:. I've always been better, that's why I keep judging.
2009-11-25 05:28:08
I made some mistakes, but it's as normal as you think :). Neither these Americans speaks everything perfectly :).
You aren't so GOOD as you think ;d.
However, i don't care, you still being this holly newbie.

Cogu used to be the best awper of the world. He is a legend as HeatoN, Potti, SpawN, fisker, etc. Using an AWP he was a monster.
This year he is retiring, then he hasn't that motivation to keep playing, our community is so unfair and uses to judge a very good player, just about his actions lately.
Well, FalleN is growing up too fast.
This entire mess of brazilian top teams is getting us so twisted, we can't even trust a player's statement about the team friendship.
