Legacy confirm addition of former paiN star
Legacy have announced the addition of Vinicius "n1ssim" Pereira to the team's ranks, seeing the former paiN player join the organization after first being linked to the team by a report from Dust2 Brasil on December 23rd. His addition fills one of two holes left in the NA based team's ranks after Legacy benched Gabriel "NEKIZ" Schenato and Bruno "b4rtiN" Câmara after missing out on the Perfect World Shanghai Major.
The move frees n1ssim to return to competition after nine months on Sharks' bench following the collapse of transfer talks between Sharks and paiN, resulting in paiN having to pivot towards João "snow" Vinicius to finish the year.
The acquisition of n1ssim is a major coup for Legacy, as the player was highly-regarded for his performances on paiN, helping the team reach 14th place on HLTV's world rankings before being recalled by Sharks.
Legacy are now:
-
Bruno "latto" Rebelatto
-
Eduardo "dumau" Wolkmer
-
Guilherme "saadzin" Pacheco
-
Vinicius "n1ssim" Pereira
-
Olavo "chucky" Napoleão (Coach)
-
Bruno "b4rtiN" Câmara (Inactive)
-
Gabriel "NEKIZ" Schenato (Inactive)
Based on Dust2 Brasil's reporting, Legacy are expected to round out their roster with Lucas "lux" Meneghini from paiN, who is expected to take over as the team's IGL.
