paiN acquire ex-AlienTech

paiN have returned to Counter-Strike after a three-year hiatus, signing the former AlienTech roster, who will soon move to North America.

Earlier this week the Brazilian AlienTech roster parted ways with the Portuguese organization. paiN Gaming, who have not fielded a Counter-Strike roster since 2013, were reported to acquire the Felippe "⁠felippe⁠" Martins-coached team.

The report has now been confirmed, as felippe and Willian "⁠LuL4⁠" Elias return to the organization they represented alongside Raphael "⁠cogu⁠" Camargo up until mid-2013.


paiN sign dukeN & co.

On August 17th, paiN will move to North America, following in the footsteps of three other Brazilian squads: SK, Immortals and recently Luminosity.

Caio "⁠zqkS⁠" Fonseca and company have two important qualifiers coming up, for which they aim to start preparing once relocated, ECS Season 2 open qualifiers and the Mountain Dew League last-chance qualifier set to start at the end of August.

paiN's lineup looks as follows:

Brazil Caio "⁠zqkS⁠" Fonseca
Brazil Felipe "⁠fbm⁠" Mengue
Brazil Willian "⁠LuL4⁠" Elias
Brazil Ricardo "⁠s1⁠" Shinji
Brazil Guilherme "⁠dukeN⁠" Góes

Brazil Felippe "⁠felippe⁠" Martins (coach)

Hey, china number 5! I admit, don't follow paiN to much, but they are from BRAZIL, then, always support them. The fact is: I don't see them seeking the charisma of Brazilians fans, but whatever. 1 LG Implictly, bit1, but destiny has high skill 2 G3x efficient AWP with kng, but steel playing with his smart, calculative! 3 paiN I don't know a lot, Lul4 looks like the differential!

Maybe when shoowtime return to the team they are one level team of LG, G3X .. Horvy is a new talent, which in the future can be a player level of FER, FNX .. But I think it's just a base class team to other teams in Brazil, only to launch new talents and future exchange team as SK / IMT / LG ... Horvy still need experience abroad, but his future is in IMT / LG ..

Let's not. You're not that smart, because can't figure out the water pollution. You're not loyal, because who would be to Brazil lmfao. You're not friendly what-so-ever, seeing as how people are getting robbed, etc; at Rio Olympics. Yes, you are indeed from the underpants dusty trail stain of the map we call Brazil.

You can't compare NA with Brazil scene. Sk would 16-2, 16-0 almost 90% of the brazilian teams while in NA they can put a decent fight.
