Immortals have announced the addition of Red Reserve sniper Vito "kNg" Giuseppe, who will try out for the team.

After Lincoln "⁠fnx⁠" Lau departed Immortals' active roster a little over a week ago, the Brazilian squad initially set their sights on k1ck's João "⁠horvy⁠" Horvath, as HLTV.org reported following the news.

However, the team decided to go another route in the end, with Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe joining Immortals on a trial basis instead.

The 22-year-old played for Red Reserve before he, Caike "⁠caike⁠" Costa, and Jean-Michel "⁠mch⁠" D'Oliveira decided to step down from the active lineup in early May, with kNgV- stating that he was "open to negotiations" with organizations interested in buying him out of his contract.

For the time being, Red Reserve loaned him out to Immortals as kNgV- will try out for the team in the near future.

His commitment to Immortals raises questions surrounding the team's distribution of roles going forward, due to their new member's dedication to the sniper rifle on his previous teams.

Immortals now field the following team:

Immortals' offline debut with their new player will be at ESL Pro League Season 5 Finals, taking place from May 30 - June 4 in Dallas, Texas.
