Official: coldzera joins RED Canids

RED Canids have secured the services of one of Brazil's most legendary players.

coldzera will provide a veteran presence for RED Canids

RED Canids has announced the signing of two-time Major winner Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David, confirming recently published reports. The veteran Brazilian will replace Lucas "⁠destiny⁠" Bullo on the roster, who was benched after the team's failure at PGL Major Copenhagen Americas RMR.

Media: coldzera set to join RED Canids

coldzera departed Legacy mere weeks ago, having been part of the team ever since it was formed last August as a result of the 00NATION organization parting ways with its Brazilian operations. He had been a core member of the team for over two years under the two banners.

During his time with his former team coldzera served as the IGL and later as the AWPer, taking up the sniping role after Lucas "⁠nqz⁠" Soares left Legacy to join paiN.

The team qualified for two Majors with coldzera among their number, IEM Rio in late 2022 and PGL Major Copenhagen earlier this year, and two other Big Events, IEM Cologne 2022 and ESL Pro League Season 17.

At PGL Major Copenhagen, Legacy exceeded expectations by narrowly missing out on an Elimination Stage spot, exiting the Opening Stage with a 2-3 record.

coldzera joins a RED Canids side that have been some way short of the best teams in Brazil over the course of 2024, with teams like MIBR, paiN and Imperial regularly defeating the team in regional events and qualifiers.

RED Canids were also unable to make it to PGL Major Copenhagen earlier this year, falling to fellow Brazilian sides paiN and ODDIK on their way to exiting the Americas RMR with a 1-2 record.

Official: Stewie2K joins Legacy as stand-in

In a recent livestream, coldzera stated that one of the biggest factors motivating him to sign for RED Canids was his desire to stay in Brazil. Legacy recently moved to USA to compete, which is part of the reason they opted for Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip as a stand-in.

RED Canids are:

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)

Its an informal thing and not very common. For instance, instead of "this is a dope sound", you say "this is a soundzera". This use makes some sense in coldzera, but venonzera and biguzera, I guess the last two adopted the zera ending because of been coldzera's fans. He and FalleN were by far the great names of br cs, of course.
