Legacy Esports is looking to fully assemble a Brazilian roster, and to that end they have signed 19-year-old Brazilian Guilherme "saadzin" Pacheco from W7M. Saadzin is set to replace Jake "Stewie2K" Yip, who came in as a temporary replacement for Marcelo "coldzera" David.
As reported by Dust2 Brasil, negotiations between the parties have been ongoing for several weeks and an agreement has now been reached. The move to the new team is expected soon, namely after Saadzin's US visa process, after which he will join the team in Texas. During this interim period saadzin will continue to compete with W7M, while Stewie2K will remain active in Legacy.

Both Legacy and W7M confirmed the move in press statements. Saadzin, who has been a standout on the national scene for the past two years, boasts a high team rating of 6.3. Saadzin's acquisition marks the return to Legacy of a dedicated AWPer, a role that was temporarily filled after nqz's departure when the team was still known as 00NATION.
W7M is undergoing its second lineup change in recent weeks, having recently replaced Joao "jz" Guilherme with Enrique "t9rnay" Menacho, on loan from Fluxo. The team is currently actively looking for new replacements.
