Luminosity Gaming have announced that they have completed the signing of ex-paiN duo Marcelo "chelo" Cespedes and Gabriel "NEKIZ" Schenato.

The Brazilian duo will step into the shoes of Lucas "⁠DeStiNy⁠" Bullo and Bruno "⁠shz⁠" Martinelli, with team coach Felippe "⁠felippe⁠" Martins having also been shown the exit door.

Marcelo "⁠chelo⁠" Cespedes and Gabriel "⁠NEKIZ⁠" Schenato were part of the paiN team who attended the ESEA Season 24 Global Challenge and the Americas Minor. Last week, the players decided to cut ties with the organisation in a bid to scale greater heights, but the squad has now been left in tatters following the departure of two players, with chelo's exit in particular being a bitter pill to swallow as the 19-year-old is widely regarded as one of the most talented young players hailing from Brazil.

The Brazilian team will soon begin preparations for the new tournament season, in which they will try to defend their ECS spot and qualify for the ESL Pro League Season 6 finals.
