Former Immortals and 100 Thieves star Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe has been tasked with creating a new line-up for Virtue Gaming, the player has revealed.

The 23-year-old had been assessing his options after being released by 100 Thieves in the aftermath of a heated Twitter discussion with popular community figure Duncan "Thorin" Shields.

kNgV- will create his own team to compete in Brazil

After spending the last year abroad, playing for Red Reserve and then for Immortals, Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe will go back to basics as he is building a Brazilian team that will primarily focus on domestic competitions.

"I think this is the time to rebuild myself," he told ESPN Esports Brasil. "I need to be happy, and there is nothing better than to be close to my family. "I plan to compete abroad, defending Virtue's colours, not only in the United States, but wherever the game takes us."

kNgV- did not reveal which players he will bring on board but admitted that he already has "some names in mind". When asked about the reason that he chose Virtue out of all the offers he had on the table, the former Immortals talent revealed that the organisation offered him "a life project".

ESPN adds that kNgV- will most likely not pick any of the players comprising Virtue's current squad, which features veteran Raphael "⁠cogu⁠" Camargo and 19-year-old talent Francisco "⁠cqntrl⁠" Reis, one of the hottest Brazilian prospects.
