Just the other day we announced that the Brazilian team paiN had acquired two new members in the form of Lincoln "fnx" Lau and Bruno "bit" Fukuda, both of them being some of the best talent available in the country.

Despite finalising their roster ready for the upcoming WCG Qualifier in Brazil, the CS team are no longer going to represent the paiN Gaming organisation based in Brazil. It is unclear as to who initiated the removal, the team or the organisation, as neither party has so far released a statement regarding the matter, aside from a twitter post from the paiN Gaming management.

The team were definitely looking strong with their two new additions and were one of the favourites to take the number one spot at the WCG Qualifier that was fast approaching. The team will likely be looking for a new organisation to provide the backing they need to participate at future tournaments. Any further information regarding their departure will likely be posted along side this announcement.
