GA add felps, boltz

29-11-2015 14:25

Games Academy have announced that they have completed their squad with the additions of Ricardo "boltz" Prass and Joao "felps" Vasconcellos.

The Brazilian team had been depleted to just three players following the departures of Epitacio "⁠TACO⁠" de Melo and Lincoln "⁠fnx⁠" Lau to Luminosity Gaming, who finished runners-up to fnatic at the FACEIT League Stage 3 Finals with the new roster.

Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass brings a wealth of experience to the team following his time with KaBuM/Luminosity, with whom he attended a series of international events, including three majors.

boltz stays in the United States to play for GA

João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos is widely regarded as one of the hottest prospects in the Brazilian scene. His spell with Keyd Stars came to an end last month following internal problems, and since then he had been playing for g3nerationX.

Meanwhile, Games Academy have announced that Luiz "peacemaker" Tadeu, a former teammate of Fernando "⁠fer⁠" Alvarenga in Afterall, has been hired to coach the team, replacing Wilton "⁠zews⁠" Prado, who joined Luminosity.

With these new recruits, Games Academy now have:

Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles
Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles
Gustavo "⁠SHOOWTiME⁠" Gonçalves
Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass
João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos

Luiz "peacemaker" Tadeu (coach)

if they manage to fix felps, fallen will pick him for his team Kappa

2015-11-29 18:02

Fixed fnx? He was toxic?

2015-11-29 19:37

Not toxic, but he lack of dedication while playing for the old Kabum line up. He was kicked and realize the opportunity he missed, than start to focus while playing for Dexterity(now GA). His new motto is something like "Im giving 110% of my capacity", because of this phase he went through.

2015-11-29 19:43

No he wasn't. The problem was hes lack of interest, kinda laziness. But he's changed.

2015-11-29 19:44

Besides that, he had personal issues in the end of 2014 which led to him being kicked out of Fallen's team (Kabum)

2015-11-30 17:06

No...he smokes too much and have a lack of dedication...kappa...or not kappa!

2015-12-05 05:00

actually Showtime was pretty toxic before GA too

well focussing on his cs career was hardly possible for him. he didnt have a career anymore after everyone could see that a random global would beat him in an aim duel.

in plain english: steel was a bad player and was hardly in an position to have a career as a pro player anymore after proving just that for the whole year.

'would' is what i said. see i am referring to his bad skill compared to the rest of the pro scene in a satirical way here by comparing him to random pug players. its very clever, i know.

2015-11-29 16:17

oh yea ok. somebody was bitching that a random guy beat a pro player so i thought he was the pro that got rekt

2015-11-29 16:24

dont try to explain something to this brainwashed bulgarian/albanian.

2015-11-29 16:28

I do not see any need of being so rude, so why mi amigo? Keep your balls calm.

2015-11-29 17:17

beeing realistic is not the same as beeing rude.Just the truth hurts sometimes.

2015-11-29 18:22

I have no problem with insulting people just like that, but I really hate people who attacks person's nationality. Like it was him who chose where he will be born.

2015-11-30 12:53

ur actually right on being beat by random pug player, when keyd came back to brazil to become luminosity right after me and my friend played against him and he was much worse than when he left the country to play counter strike, his score in the pug was like 12/18 and he cried to my friend saying he was cheating lol

2015-11-29 18:52

comparing pro players with matchmaking rank, stopped reading , u know nothing about this game when you compare pros to matchmaking ranks.

2015-11-29 21:03

wow ur salty. have totally misunderstood what i was trying to say but whatever.

2015-11-29 21:05

salty? i just stuck with facts? 'after everyone could see that a random global would beat him in an aim duel.' wtf are u comparing? the skill level on a pro game is SO MUCH higher than any Global mm game. it's not comparable in ANY way. that doesn't mean shit. also, u can't compare skill level from a MM game or a PUG. Me and my friend played vs apEX (and a couple of other semi- pro players) 2 times in a row in ESEA, we won both games, does that mean we're better? NOT IN A MILLION YEARS. you can't just go around like mr, #190 going like, 'yeah we won a mm game (which means literally nothing) vs him, yeah , he is shit' lololol

2015-11-29 21:11

ITS FUCKIN SATIRICAL YOU CUNT! IT MEANS: guy is a bad aimer in terms of the pro scene. guy whiffs kills left and right and hardly ever seems to get any hard kills. okay? let me even rephrase for u what i said in my OP: guy sucks, no good team is gonna want him.

2015-11-29 21:59

holy shit these guys are so stupid im not sure if theyre trolling you. I agree with u +1

2015-11-29 22:15

2015-11-29 15:48

Bots Academy

Steel said to the other members on LG that he wanted to quit play CS a couple months ago but people were motivating him to keep playing. He's probably done playing CS forever or for awhile.

2015-11-29 14:31

let´s go GA!!

why not minise?

pls b0ltz win vs lg

downgrade, but best avaible players for GA atm.

Felps is a young talent with a lot of potential maybe like Cold. But for now a litte downgrade.

2015-11-29 14:35

#59

When u see felps playing ull probably think that GA has more potential than LG, he is a BEAST, just like cold

2015-11-29 14:42

felps is toxic as fuck and do not function properly, socially.

2015-11-29 14:44

Yeah, im thinking he will change, he wouldnt throw an oportunity like this... I hope

2015-11-29 14:50

that something fixable, would be worst if he was pure shit.

2015-11-29 14:53

He played with g3x (these guys are all old 1.6 stars). They teach him how to keep the cool in situations like that. Felps said that on Facebook. Felps has to be calm now. Imagine a kid playing on a team of 4 zen guys.

2015-11-29 15:43

RIP steel

2015-11-29 14:45

felps will grow into a star player and join LG. Calling it.

2015-11-29 14:46

if we are talking about skill, maybe yes but taco is a good friend of cold, cold and taco used to play in the same team for a long time, and taco is a good friend of fer too taco is actually a good player and he is one of the best options to be in a team and felps is a very toxic guy and he isnt a friend of lg members, so i think nah

2015-11-29 15:29

Gl boltz

Should rename in LG academy.

2015-11-29 14:49

felps will become the new cold

I really doubt that, but he has a lof of potential

2015-11-29 14:52

he is as toxic as cold

2015-11-29 15:19

Cold isn't toxic lel

2015-11-29 16:08

felps BR s1mple

I know that Fallen will have Boltz as Ace for some tournaments, so I didn't surprised when Boltz go to GA, because Fallen knows best what to do

2015-11-29 14:55

n1 i really remember send something like this to Hen1 on his stream " Pls +felps i swear he will change plss " an he smiles hahaha

2015-11-30 02:27

2015-11-30 04:56

Felps is the best player who lives in Brazil without doubt by far

2015-11-29 15:13

i think bit is actually better than him but bit is old so you might be right

2015-12-03 22:27

2015-11-29 15:26

lmao Taco and Fnx bottom fragged Faceit. Good job LG. they only got far cuz of Cold and FalleN.

i agree that Cold was the best of LG but fnx was a monster, fer too

2015-11-29 15:46

in the final atleast. Maybe not FNX but, but Taco was a pretty terrible pick up so far he has bottom fragged. They should have kept Boltz.

2015-11-30 11:31

I've never read so much bullshit at once.

bad b8

its gonna be great for GA ,boltz in-game leader?

2015-11-29 15:37

Peacemaker IGL

how come a coach can be *IGL? *IGL=IN GAME LEADER

2015-11-29 16:12

Zews was IGL in GA, and TACO was the second caller. Maybe it will be Peacemaker or Hen1.

2015-11-29 17:02

thats very wrong, IGL is a term used to define who is the captain of the team. The IN GAME doesn't actually mean that he NEEDS to be in game, navi coach is their IGL btw

Lets go boltzera

2015-11-29 15:41

hueheuehuehuee

2015-11-29 17:05

Toxicity tends to fade away now that he will be in another country, living with the other players. Do you think he will be toxic and throw this golden chance away? If he control his emotions I see him joining LG in less than a year.

2015-11-29 17:08

He was in Portugal with Keyd and was toxic as hell?

2015-11-29 17:45

>zqk (if you didn't know, he raged at fallen calls and how the team played when he was the awper and not IGL, he's more toxic but it was hidden from everyone) >he played with bit1, a veteran knows how to deal with this, now going a bit better and will be close to Fallen and dead he will get on his lines.

2015-11-29 18:28

+1 I think he learned a lot with bit1, pava, mch and kng

2015-11-29 21:52

Don't understand why Boltz was kicked from LG. They seem to be doing good right now, but will it last? Like it never lasted with Boltz and the other player they kicked. Boltz will add some gun skill to GA.

2015-11-29 21:53

I think that he was supposed to be an entry fragger due to his aim, but he wasn't agressive enough. In maps like d2 where fer (the other entry fragger) stays at long door as T they didn't have good results opening bombs..

2015-11-29 22:57

brazil scene has good players

2015-11-29 22:00

Both are great adds to GA both boltz and felps fit well into the team but, I was also expecting the add of steel onto the place of shoowtime, maybe im wrong.

2015-11-29 22:09

STEEL RETIRED AND I FEEL LIKE SHOWTIME > STEEL

2015-11-30 04:57

To all people saying steel sucked. You suck even more rofl. Steel was improving imo. Hes not a mad fragger but sometimes you need ppl who can communicate well without being angry all the time and can help the better fraggers by shoulder peeking and throwing pop flashes and such. he was not the best player but good enough for the pro scene imo. Not everyone can be Guardian...

Now the team has Fallen and 4 guys who can clutch or just 3k 4k every round if not choke.

2015-11-30 19:03

ya obv the team is better now. But I just dont understand ppl who bash t2 pro players when they ant even handle mm themselves lol. Struggling to get kills in mm but bashing pros gg no re.
