Fluxo replace nicks with mlhzin

The Brazilian organization makes its second roster move of 2025.

Fluxo have announced the addition of Matheus "⁠mlhzin⁠" Marçola, with the 19-year-old taking Nicollas "⁠nicks⁠" Polonio' spot on the active roster.

mlhzin arrives on Fluxo after 14 months with MIBR Academy, with whom he averaged a 1.08 rating over 76 maps and placed second in several monthly Liga Gamers Club Serie A events.

The change is Fluxo's second of the year after it brought back Allan "⁠history⁠" Lawrenz in place of Romeu "⁠zevy⁠" Rocco in January, and comes as the team looks to get over the hump in competition over its regional rivals.

The Andrei "⁠arT⁠" Piovezan-led side recently fell just short of qualifying for IEM Dallas through the South America closed qualifier, beating Imperial in their opener and Sharks in the consolidation final but losing 0-2 twice to Legacy to miss out.

Fluxo had also lost in the BLAST Open Lisbon qualifier to Imperial a few days before that and suffered another defeat to them in the semi-final of CCT Season 2 SA Series 7 on February 22. That game marked nicks' last on the active roster, ending a 10-month stint that began alongside arT in May last year.

"Internally we understood that we needed another aggressive player in the squad so that we could seek our best version in the game," Fluxo's head coach, Marcos "⁠tacitus⁠" Castilho, said about the change in a post on X.

"[nicks is] the kind of player who is the first to arrive and the last to leave on a daily basis, does what needs to be done and seeks to improve at all times," he added. "Unfortunately, we didn't find the ideal fit, but I will always be rooting for you."

Fluxo now have:

Andrei "⁠arT⁠" Piovezan
Kayke "⁠kye⁠" Bertolucci
Allan "⁠history⁠" Lawrenz
Guilherme "⁠piriajr⁠" Barbosa
Matheus "⁠mlhzin⁠" Marçola
