Media: coldzera set to join RED Canids

The Brazilian veteran has found a new team just weeks following his departure from Legacy.

Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David has agreed to join RED Canids and the move will be made official in the coming days, according to reports from Dust2.com.br and The Clutch.

The 29-year-old wasted no time to find a new team after coming to a mutual agreement to end a two-year stint with the core of Brazilian side Legacy late last month.

coldzera departs Legacy

In RED Canids, coldzera will replace Lucas "⁠destiny⁠" Bullo, who was benched from the team in late March following their failure in the Americas RMR for PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen.

According to the report, the RED Canids organization wanted to bolster the team with an experienced player to help them qualify for the Perfect World Shanghai Major, taking place in December.

coldzera was reportedly one of three options to fill the last spot on the roster, along with another veteran, Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass, and the far less experienced Sharks benched AWPer, Victor "⁠gafolo⁠" Andrade.

RED Canids' roster will look as follows following the addition of coldzera:

Brazil Carlos "⁠venomzera⁠" Eduardo
Chile David "⁠dav1deuS⁠" Tapia Maldonado
Brazil Gabriel "⁠nython⁠" Lino
Brazil Wesley "⁠hardzao⁠" Lopes
Brazil Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David

Brazil João "⁠righi⁠" Righi (coach)

Brazil Lucas "⁠destiny⁠" Bullo (benched)

There is a legacy vlog after the major where he says he wouldn't mind moving to NA for a season, and him, the team + management discussed how things would be in NA. Maybe legacy plans were longer than that and he changed his mind or something, but it felt very abrupt. He had a lawyer draft his twitter post saying he left the org.

Pretty sure he was essentially kicked from Legacy. I thought he was playing fairly well, I didnt really understand it. Maybe it has to do with paychecks.

Why these fking washed up br t3 teams that u dont get any future with apart from salary.

Tier 3… okay. Brazil scene is all one big tier. There is almost no favorites in that shit. And yeah of course, join something old like furia with oldheads like fallen who cant win shit for 1000 years. This team has some good talents like davideus, venom and a solid igl. Cold bringing experience can help them, and who knows, maybe some roster changes in the future too

he didn't showed level to play at that Furia aims for, also, any years ago Furia tried to sign him and he refused because he didn't like the organization ("I would like to play with these players, but I would never play on furia") anyway, legacy to red canids is upgrade, they just need -nython, a roster with venomzera, hardzao and dav1d is on the same level as mibr and imperial rosters

It's just a little suffix people throw at the end of words/names to give it some intensity. it's very informal btw. It's meaning should be like saying "Hungri-er" instead of hungry, or "Thirst-ful" instead of Thirsty. Cold is prolly the reason bigu and venom use the zera on their names though. Lots of people started using the suffix after cold was major champ/ mvp /# 1 twice in a row

Agreed He needs to get paid. I respect it While he isn't what he used to be, he can still provide mentorship in a lower tier of play, and possibly contribute to the upbringing of younger players who might rise up and shine in a few years' time

I like this move. People just expect him to retire but who are them to say what he should do with his career? Nobody thinks that he maybe still wants to do this (denying the Legacy run to the major would be just delusional), but not at the highest scene? (maybe he realizes his actual level)

I like it, this red canids line is scarier than some might think, dav1deus is a monster, hardzao one of the best anchors in br scene, venomzera a great prospect, nython is an ok awper and IGL, but tbf it's not like our region really have many good options for those roles... And now they are bringing cold into this already solid core? Wouldn't be surprised if they get a spot next major

I'd say people in BRAZIL are sleeping on this roster. Even thou nython isn't an excellent player they will cause some damage in br scene that is for sure. During the last month playing with their coach they were already pushing mibr, pain and imperial to their limits in almost every bo3. Venzomera and Dav1d are the real deal when it comes to firepower. Then, you have one of the best anchor player in br scene: hardzao. Cold might be the piece they need to get the step up and become a really treat/contender in our scene for the further spots.
