Ricardo "boltz" Prass held a live broadcast last Friday to raise donations for Rio Grande do Sul and talked about the transfer window. The 27-year-old detailed his negotiations with PaiN and RED Canids and explained what he is looking for in a team.

According to Boltz, the most progress in negotiations was made with RED Canids, but later Matilla favored Marcelo "coldzera" David, who suited the vacant positions in the team.

With RED, things were a little more advanced. I spoke to some players, had three meetings with staff and players and RED wanted a change. We were already negotiating a dismissal fine because they needed to buy me back from Imperial, we were negotiating and the cold weather came. They only wanted one player, they wanted a player (who plays on the block) and I'm a winger, so they chose the cold and I was left out.

It was an interesting offer from RED, I think their team is very good, they have a lot of potential. This offer from RED was before PaiN, we were communicating and then PaiN came. Those were the two teams I was most interested in during the transfer window and the ones that made the most progress," boltz said.

During the live show, viewers asked a lot of questions and Boltz answered that he talked to Grêmio and KaBuM. He also denied information about rumors that he had received offers from FURIA, Fluxo, Legacy and LOUD. The player also said what he was looking for when he agreed to join a new team

I want to join a team that I think makes sense, that is competitive. I don't want to accept any offer just to play, although I do want to compete because it's my favorite thing to do. But I don't want to accept an offer just to play, so I'm waiting and if it doesn't come, I'll move on with my life and I'm fine with that too," he explained.
