Official: Luminosity release roster

13-9-2019 00:37

Luminosity have confirmed that they are parting ways with their CS:GO lineup, passing on the EPL and ECS spots to the players.

The news comes after a recent report from Mais Esports, and confirms the rumors that the Canadian organization is looking to part ways with their Brazilian roster.

Despite the departure from Luminosity, the players plan to stick together

Luminosity has most recently been seen playing with Felipe "⁠skullz⁠" Medeiros, on loan from W7M, and João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos, a loanee from MIBR. While those two players are still tied to their organizations, the remaining three active players, as well as the benched Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles and the team's coach Rafael "⁠zakk⁠" Fernandes, are released from their contracts.

zakk said the following in his TwitLonger:

"Even though 3 of us are free agent right now, it feels like a great opportunity. We finally have the lineup that we want and the teamplay has been perfect.

"We are proud to announce that we are taking ESL Pro League spots for us. Skullz and felps were on loan and are benched on their respective teams, which means we are ready and motivated to kick some ass!

"We are open for negotiation!" - zakk

In addition to that, Luminosity also ceded their ESL Pro League and ECS slots, which now belong to the players and should help them find a new home. At the same time, that hints at a strong possibility of Luminosity not planning to return to CS:GO with a new lineup, albeit that was not confirmed in the announcement.

The ex-Luminosity team now has the following roster:

Lucas "⁠steel⁠" Lopes
Gabriel "⁠NEKIZ⁠" Schenato
Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass
João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos (loan from MIBR)
Felipe "⁠skullz⁠" Medeiros (loan from W7M)

Rafael "⁠zakk⁠" Fernandes (coach)

Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles (free agent)

? You really think LG/ex-LG is better than FURIA?

2019-09-13 01:24

I think he tried to say that Furia is the best team and Ex-LG is the second best team (making fun of MIBR) I don't blame him, I actually agree with that

2019-09-13 02:43

You really didn't understand his comment?

2019-09-13 10:32

LG better than mibr and intz? LUL

LOL

2019-09-16 03:49

RIP Feel kind of sorry for all those players who keep switching teams and getting kicked like steel, boltz and felps. Hell, hen1 was the twin that was left over. That's gotta suck.

Always thought that Lucas will be the left over one tho:D

Vp hasn't even gotten to a big event recently, but mibr was at the major. That's at least something

2019-09-13 01:48

dude, FalleN said he wouldn't retire before winning 1 more Major. im still waiting..

2019-09-13 04:51

So this is what happens after losing to Stay Frosty...

Imagine watching tier3 NA games. OMEGALUL

I have been watching NA MDL for years. It's my scene

2019-09-13 01:14

I have been following the brazillian scene for years and you lil trumps are still complaining.

2019-09-13 04:52

imagine being a fan of fnatic

2019-09-13 02:53

haha

kk br cs

2019-09-13 00:42

Kick nekiz, that guy is a bad, i think even showtime would be greater then him.

That aged well

hahaha

2019-09-13 00:48

Having both epl and ecs's spots facilitates everything. They should find a team in no time. GL

Damn. Big Oof

2019-09-13 00:50

They just dumped a ton of money into an LoL team. It makes sense for them to focus there and abandon a mediocre CS:GO team.

back to jungle

Hello 100T/coL Kscerato Yuurih Steel Boltz Felps Or maybe HEN1. But gotta pay $$$ to buyout FURIA players, I think worth the try with Brazilians, like in the past.

9 replies

nice awper

2019-09-13 00:53

HEN1?

2019-09-13 01:03

Ksc? Yuurih? Nah lol. Also no AWPer. Why dont you use Hen1? lol

2019-09-13 00:58

I did mention HEN1.

Well "maybe Hen1", he should have been in the lineup over both KSC & Yuurih lol. Be realistic.

If you're truly want to be realistic you should remove ksc and yuurih from that team, they won't leave Furia by any chance.

2019-09-13 01:56

Yes? I never added them. He did.

2019-09-13 02:00

I think 100T will no longer want Brazilians haha

2019-09-13 01:23

Steel no bro

2019-09-13 13:08

that was such a bad lineup, deserved.

I feel bad for steel and boltz. Back in 2017 "Team Vila Mix" screwed their careers with that WO at Major finals. That could be a huge turn around for all of them.

Next following is mibr and then furia. Rip Brazil scene

2019-09-13 00:55

lol, so i can say that NA scene is dead as well.

2019-09-13 04:55

2019-09-13 02:03

Good oportunity for T1 and INTZ T1: steel, skullz, trk, b4rtiN e Maluk3 INTZ: boltz, felps, HEN1, xand e chelo

+1 but nekiz for skullz and yel for maluke.

2019-09-13 02:37

yeL is so bad, he's washed up dude, and NEKiZ is just unexperienced.

2019-09-13 04:57

Yel isn't "so bad", he had been playing as a rifler and calling for the team. Of course if you're the igl and not playing your primary role(awper) you're not going to be as good as before (he has better kd than destiny tho), he's better than maluke for sure. And about nekiz, skullz a gc star who didn't play any lan at all is more experienced than nekiz (a guy with several international lans in his back)?

2019-09-13 07:58

HELLO 💯Thieves, Yuurih Kscerato felps HEN1 steelega or arT gg

2019-09-13 02:29

2019-09-13 04:15

TACO performed well in the major and he's not leaving.

But Lucas and Nen should be together ;(

2019-09-13 07:01

That would be a really bad move lol, TACO is a really good support player and the last thing MiBR needs is a 3rd awper

2019-09-13 06:00

1 tier1000 team less, gj

2019-09-13 04:19

2019-09-13 04:40

Ofc

2019-09-13 07:57

im getting so triggered with those EU bots that keep trashtalking us, if you don't like the brazillian scene, just don't post a comment.

2019-09-13 05:01

Yeah man True They shouldn't have left roster because of 1 bo1 though (Which was played without practice)

2019-09-13 05:49

Brazilian Scene.... It's a joke

At least Brazil has a scene LUL

2019-09-14 03:40

Your guys are finished.get used to it

2019-09-13 08:10

And you guys will never win a major, get used to it ;)

can't take some criticism? grow up

2019-09-13 13:21

some? this is xenophobic, not just "some criticism".

2019-09-13 16:55

That really sucks for skullz, finally got to 1 of the top 3 teams in brazil and a day later the team gets dropped, also we now say goodbye to one of the coolest logos in csgo

Hope they make a comeback, the lineup has potential.

2019-09-13 12:45

Do not forget that they hold spots at ESL pro league and ESC. I am pretty sure that they will find a top org in a matter of days.

Sad moment :'(

2019-09-13 15:49

2019-09-13 16:34

I've actually been a fan of Luminosity since its creation in 2015. Also, in part because it's a Canadian-founded organization. However, the results of this roster and prior iterations have been utterly pathetic and FAR TOO inconsistent for the level of caliber they're capable of. Losing to PUG teams early into tourney qualifiers should NEVER be permitted for a T1/T2 org. It's utterly pathetic and a downright embarrassment. They're undeserving of their high-tier status. Imagine receiving a good salary as a team, just to get beaten by basement-dwelling memelords? Sad. And I honestly wanted nothing more than for them to succeed. I'm very disappointed by how this all turned out.

2019-09-14 00:09

+1 they were underperforming for years, Luminosity is right they had a lot of chances, now it's time to get back from the start

2019-09-14 15:18

+1 totally agree with you
