Luminosity Gaming have secured the services of Alessandro "Apoka" Marcucci, who will be acting as the coach of their CS:GO squad.

The Canadian organisation had been without a Counter-Strike coach since July 13, when Felippe "⁠felippe⁠" Martins left the Brazilian team alongside Lucas "⁠DeStiNy⁠" Bullo and Bruno "⁠shz⁠" Martinelli.

Luminosity then revamped their roster with the signing of former ex-paiN players Marcelo "⁠chelo⁠" Cespedes and Gabriel "⁠NEKIZ⁠" Schenato.

The new coach is no stranger to the club as he was part of the organisation for nearly six months before being replaced by felippe, in January of this year. During his previous stint, the team attended ESWC 2016 with David "⁠Xp3⁠" Garrido as a stand-in, finishing third of their group.

"My job has always been done internally, without flamboyance, and that kept my doors open in all the teams I have worked with," he wrote on Facebook. "After returning to Brazil, I gained experience by creating an organisation and by managing Merciless' League of Legends team, who had a great season. "I feel ready for this challenge."

Luminosity, who will face SK and Misfits in the first week of ESL Pro League, have the following roster:
