TeamOne seek new player as drg is released - Report
TeamOne are in the market for a new player after parting ways with Pedro "drg" Lima, according to a report from ESPN Esports Brasil.
The move comes as little surprise as Pedro "drg" Lima had failed to impress since joining TeamOne, at the end of March, as a replacement for Caike "caike" Costa.
During his time with the Brazilian team, the 22-year-old averaged a disappointing 0.79 rating, ending just three of the 22 maps that he played with above-average ratings.
According to ESPN Esports Brasil, which cites sources close to TeamOne, drg was always supposed to be a temporary solution until a permanent replacement for caike could be found.
Lucas "steel" Lopes, Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe and Lucas "DeStiNy" Bullo were TeamOne's initial targets, but none of those options materialised. steel ended up agreeing terms with Luminosity, while the latter two were ruled out due to visa issues.
TeamOne's management and players have drawn up a nine-man shortlist, on which the organisation will now begin to work. The first of these is Nicolas "NikoM" Miozzi, who is plying his trade for Isurus. The Argentinian team, who currently reside in Brazil, are facing a recent run of poor form that includes four straight losses in all competitions.
The other players on TeamOne's wishlist are believed to be Virtue duo Denis "dzt" Fischer and Alef "tatazin" Pereira, Sharks' Raphael "exit" Lacerda and Leonardo "leo_drk" Oliveira, FURIA's trio of Andrei "arT" Piovezan, Yuri "yuurih" Santos and Kaike "KSCERATO" Cerato, and finally Alexandre "xand" Zizi, from Yeah.
drg has already returned to Brazil and will be replaced by team coach Olavo "chucky" Napoleão until a new player is signed, with the roster currently looking as follows:
Pedro "Maluk3" Campos
Victor "iDk" Torraca
Alencar "trk" Rossato
Jean-Michel "mch" D'Oliveira
Olavo "chucky" Napoleão (coach)
