NEKIZ replaces tatazin in paiN

paiN have announced the addition of Gabriel "⁠NEKIZ⁠" Schenato, who has replaced Alef "⁠tatazin⁠" Pereira in the lineup.

NEKIZ comes in as a reinforcement to the lineup shortly after the conclusion of the team's participation in the regular season of Brasileirão Season 1, in which the team placed second to RED Canids, against whom they will clash in the grand final.

The 24-year-old had spent the last two months looking for new challenges after his former team, ex-Luminosity, split up at the beginning of October following parting ways with the North American organization.

NEKIZ finds a new home in paiN

NEKIZ will add heaps of experience to the internationally unseasoned paiN squad, having attended a variety of tournaments as part of Luminosity over the last two years, most notably helping them place second at DreamHack Open stops in Valencia and Atlanta in 2018.

This will be the player's second stint under the Brazilian organization, whom he represented alongside his new teammate Paulo "⁠land1n⁠" Felipe in 2017 before his move to LG.

paiN's roster now looks as follows:

Brazil Vinicios "⁠PKL⁠" Coelho
Brazil Paulo "⁠land1n⁠" Felipe
Brazil Wesley "⁠hardzao⁠" Lopes
Brazil Rodrigo "⁠biguzera⁠" Bittencourt
Brazil Gabriel "⁠NEKIZ⁠" Schenato

Brazil Bruno "⁠ellllll⁠" Ono (coach)

2019-11-26 20:23
Wtf? Weird roster change imo. Only thing they upgrade is that their roster gets younger lol. But tbh Tata > NEKIZ Also ZzZzZz, can people like #1, #4, #5 #6 #13, #14, #16, stop commenting trash on news pages? Ur clearly not interested in this, just move on instead of commenting.

Nah, I think it was an upgrade because nekiz in very well know entry Fragger in the Brazilian scene and when they don't put him as support like they did in lumi he does the job, and tata is just to much inconsistent, he only had 2 or 3 good tournaments and that was it.

Nah. Nekiz was really good in Brazil before going abroad, meanwhile in USA he played bad roles because he was never their star player... Tatazin sucks even in Brazil...

How? Tata was playing in an star role at the team and not giving them the results, nekiz is an proven entry Fragger who got to play support in luminosity them people started to say LoOk aT NeKIz 0.89 KD, for a support is actually ok and his not even one and he was playing on NA, Tata while playing on Brazil, beeing the baiter off the team didn't had that much of an impact
