Luminosity Gaming pick up a new Brazilian roster after losing theirs to SK.

After being without a CS:GO roster since early this month, Luminosity has finally found themselves another CS:GO team. Once Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo's Brazilian team left Luminosity for SK, many thought the Luminosity org would pick up Renegades' org-less team. However that was not the case as Luminosity have decided to stick with Brazilian talent and have picked up the up and coming Brazilian team, WinOut. Steve Maida, Luminosity Gaming's CEO, said the following about the new roster:

I'm happy to have signed these up and coming stars from Brazil.  I think it's great for our fans and more importantly a great opportunity for these players.  They have a very strong work ethic and a passion to improve. Hopefully LG can provide them the foundation and environment to grow as a team and show the world what they can do.”

The squad came together in May and features former Keyd Stars and g3x members. They have called Texas their home ever since signing for WinOut. Two of the team's star players, Bruno "bit" Lima and Renato "nak" Nakano, have both played for some of Brazil's most well-known and succesful 1.6 teams. Nakano also used to be Luminosity's coach before being replaced by Wilton "zews" Prado.

Lima had the following to say about the org change on Luminosity's website:

We are all very proud to be part of LG Family, really excited to represent one of the biggest organizations in the world," Lima told Luminosity's website. As a team we've been working really hard for the past months and this is the right opportunity for us to achieve our dreams. LG has a really big Brazillian fan base and we will do 150% to make them proud.”

Luminosity's roster is now as follows:

Renato "nak" Nakano
Bruno "bit" Lima
Lucas "destinyy" Bullo
Vinicios "PKL" Coelho
Gustavo "yeL" Knittel

Allesandro "apoka" Marcucci (coach)
