fer to stand in for BOOM

The former MIBR star will fill in the gap left by João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos' benching.

Fernando "⁠fer⁠" Alvarenga will be a part of BOOM's roster this Sunday at the FlowFiReLEAGUE 2020 Global Finals, the organization has confirmed. The 29-year-old is set to play his first official match since September, for now as a temporary member of the squad.

The two-time Major winner is replacing his former teammate, felps, who stepped down from BOOM's lineup after expressing his desires to pursue other options at the start of December.

fer will be grabbing the mouse and joining the server with BOOM

BOOM have been spotted practicing with fer since the start of the month, giving the lineup up to two weeks of practice ahead of FlowFiReLEAGUE 2020 Global Finals, a $70,000 event that will take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The future of fer remains unclear, with a long-term deal with the Indonesian organization a possibility. He previously expressed his interest in playing with Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo in 2021, with a report from Cybersport.pl implying that the 29-year-old AWPer could be the next player to join BOOM.

BOOM will play with the following lineup at FlowFiReLEAGUE 2020 Global Finals:

Brazil Gustavo "⁠yel⁠" Knittel
Brazil Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass
Brazil Marcelo "⁠chelo⁠" Cespedes
Brazil Bruno "⁠shz⁠" Martinelli
Brazil Fernando "⁠fer⁠" Alvarenga (stand-in)

They both play in NA since 2017, but KNG played in Brazil in 2018. So, since 2017 when both started playing outside Brazil, KNG actually played more in SA than TRK. I just destroyed you so many times, that i feel sorry already, it ends here dude. /closed

Not true, he said that he doesn't like to watch POV demo from another player. Basically only people that want to be pro do that. He always watched team demos with FalleN, a lot of videos proving. This year he said a lot of BS, but that's not true at all.
