FRAG 18 runner-up shuffles lineup, trials academy player

Sharks have announced some changes to their lineup in the wake of their runner-up finish at Fragadelphia 18. Nicolas "n1cks" Paixão will be elevated from the academy team to trial on the main squad and will replace Marcos "hoax" Henrique. It was also announced that with the promotion of n1cks, the trialist would be taking on the sniper role within the team and that current AWPer and captain, Victor "gafolo" Andrade, would be switching to a rifling role.

While playing in FRAG 18 LAN earlier this month, the previous Sharks lineup smelled blood in the water and beat all but one opponent, leaving with two losses to NRG, which still ended up being good enough for a second-place finish in the event. While in Kansas City the Brazilian side picked up best-of-three series wins over the majority of the up-and-coming NA scene, including MIGHT, Take Flyte, Nouns, and BOSS.

hoax joins the likes of Mateus "supLexN1" Miranda, Vinicius "n1ssim" Pereira, and Pedro "pepe" Almeida on the Sharks bench.

Sharks are now:

• Victor "gafolo" Andrade

• Daniel "rdnzao" Monteiro

• Danilo "doc" Barros

• João "koala" Pfeffer

• Nicolas "n1cks" Paixão (Trial)

• Hélder "coachi" Sancho (Coach)
