Brazilian giants Fluxo enter CSGO with almost half a million spent on players FluxoFluxo, one of the biggest esports organizations in Brazil, spared no expense when it came to getting high-caliber players for their first CS:GO team. With Brazil set to host its first CS:GO Major later this year, Fluxo have expanded into Valve\u2019s first-person shooter with an exciting Brazilian lineup headlined by former SK Gaming player Jo\u00e3o \u2018felps\u2019 Vasconcellos. Fluxo is a Brazilian organization co-founded in 2021 by Lucio \u2018Cerol\u2019 dos Santos and Bruno \u2018Nobru\u2019 Goes. (The latter was named the MVP of Free Fire World Series 2019 and still competes for Fluxo.) It has attracted a large following in the country, with a social media audience that includes 3.6 million fans on Instagram, 2.2 million on TikTok, and almost 2.8 million on YouTube. In a press conference, Renan Philip, the CEO of 3C Gaming, the company that manages Fluxo, said that the organization spent over 2.5 million Brazilian reais, or $494,000, to assemble the lineup. \u201cThere\u2019s a phrase that I like, which is that the \u2018price [of something] is what someone is willing to pay,\u2019\u201d Philip is quoted by Dust2.com.br as saying. \u201cWe cannot confirm [some of the transfer fees that have been reported], but those are investments that we truly believe to be good and consistent with the level of each player.\u201d According to Dust2.com.br, Fluxo spent \u20ac325,000, or $335,000, to sign Lucas \u2018Lucaozy\u2019 Neves from Portuguese organization Sharks Esports. Fluxo also had to open their coffers to sign felps from GODSENT and Vinicius \u2018vsm\u2019 Moreira from 00NATION. Adriano \u2018WOOD7\u2019 Cerato and Lucas \u2018lux\u2019 Meneghini were both signed on free transfers. IEM Rio Major in sight Fluxo CEO Gabriel \u2018bak\u2019 Lessa said that this \u201cwas the right moment\u201d to enter CS:GO, with Rio de Janeiro set to host the Major between October 31 and November 13. The playoff stage of the event will be held in front of a crowd at the Jeunesse Arena, an indoor multi-purpose arena that hosted the 2017 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational and the 2018 Rainbow Six Siege Season 8 Pro League finals. Fluxo have a long road to the IEM Rio Major ahead of them, starting with the open qualifiers later this month. If they manage to battle their way through one of the three South American qualifiers, they will then have to attend the American RMR, where FURIA, Team Liquid, Imperial Esports and 12 other teams will be lying in wait. \u201cWe are here to build something together with the community and to be present in the game,\u201d Philip said. \u201cToday\u2019s goal is the Major, but the real goal is to do everything right and put Brazil back where it used to be in CS.\u201d Fluxo CS:GO roster: Jo\u00e3o \u201cfelps\u201d Vasconcellos – Vinicius \u201cvsm\u201d Moreira – Adriano \u201cWOOD7\u201d Cerato – Lucas \u201cLucaozy\u201d Neves – Lucas \u201clux\u201d Meneghini – Willian \u201cXamp\u201d Caldas (coach) –<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
