Franco "dgt" García has joined paiN, replacing Caue "kauez" Cashew, who was previously benched. For dgt, this marks his first team change in over five years—he had consistently played for 9z, where he became a key player and helped the team reach a global level.

dgt played for 9z since May 2019, contributing significantly to the team during his tenure. With him, the team won the FiReLEAGUE Global Final 2023, FiReLEAGUE 2021, secured 3rd-4th place at IEM Dallas 2024, and qualified for the major twice. However, in February 2025, he was benched following the team's poor performances.

When comparing the statistics of dgt and kauez over the past 3 months, the former completely dominates. dgt has previously played alongside dav1deuS and nqz in 9z, so the environment will be relatively familiar to him.

The debut of the new paiN roster will take place at BLAST Rivals Spring 2025. They will face MOUZ in the first round, scheduled for April 30 at 12:30 CET. The tournament will be held in a LAN format, allowing a full view of the team's dynamics.

The updated paiN roster is as follows:

• Rodrigo "biguzera" Bittencourt
• Lucas "nqz" Soares
• Joao "snow" Vinicius
• David "dav1deuS" Maldonado
• Franco "dgt" García
