According to Dust2 Brasil, Fluxo's Counter-Strike team will be undergoing a major change in its roster. In preparation for the RMR Closed Qualifier for the Perfect World Shanghai Major, the team decided to send Ricard "chay" Seidy to the reserve. His place will be taken by Kayke "kye" Bertolucci, who recently played for FURIA.

Changes in the lineup always attract the attention of fans and analysts, especially when it comes to major tournaments. Replacing a player can significantly affect a team's strategy and results, making this news especially important for Fluxo fans and opponents.

Background

Team Fluxo has already reached an agreement with FURIA to sign kye, but the transfer has not been formalized yet. It is unknown if he will be signed on a permanent basis or on loan. Fluxo and FURIA declined to comment on the matter. The team has played just over 100 games with the current roster, led by Andrei "arT" Piovezan. The kye rating is 5.7. These changes come on the back of poor results in recent tournaments.

Important changes to the Fluxo lineup

Fluxo failed to qualify for BetBoom Dacha, IEM Rio, FERJEE State Circuit, BLAST Premier Fall Showdown and Thunderpick World Championship. However, the team was a semifinalist at CCT and won the Regional Clash South America in June. The 19-year-old kye is playing in the FURIA reserves after a trial period with the main team, for which he has played in GET Rio, ESL Pro League, CCT Europe and YaLLa Compass, scoring 5.5 points on 39 maps.

Final Thoughts

The transition took place shortly before the Perfect World Shanghai Major invitations ended. Fluxo is currently among the teams participating in the closed qualifier. If Fluxo play a match with the new roster before August 7, the closing date of the qualifier, their current ranked entry will be destroyed. A team can register a kye or other reinforcement as a reserve and use it as a starter when matches begin. This makes the transition especially important as it could determine Fluxo's future in the tournament.
