Não Tem Como are on the brink of signing of Virtue Gaming star Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe, HLTV.org and ESPN Esports Brasil have learned.

The 23-year-old will join up with the rest of the NTC squad in Germany early next week, after Virtue and Não Tem Como reached an agreement in principle for the player's transfer, which is now pending the completion of formalities. This means that Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe will play his final match for Virtue in the closed qualifier for the ESL LA League, kicking off on Saturday.

The move comes as a surprise as kNgV- was left out of Não Tem Como's roster when the team parted ways with 100 Thieves, who had released the 23-year-old after he had used "offensive and inappropriate" language in a Twitter discussion with analyst Duncan "Thorin" Shield.

kNg will join NTC's squad in Germany next week

kNgV- went on to sign for Virtue and surrounded himself with other Brazilian talents, including former Tempo Storm member Lucas "⁠DeStiNy⁠" Bullo and ex-TeamOne player Caike "⁠caike⁠" Costa. However, results have been mixed, with the team most recently losing to C4 in ESEA Open Brazil's Round of 16 after finishing top four in the Aorus League and top eight in Alienware Liga Pro Gamers Club.

NTC turned to kNgV- following the departures of twin brothers Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles and Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles, who parted ways with the team just two weeks into their bootcamp in Germany for undisclosed reasons.

Last month, a report from DBLTAP suggested that Não Tem Como were in negotiations with SK Gaming, who allegedly seek a replacement for Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo's squad. The Brazilians have been bootcamping in Cologne, where SK's headquarters are located, with João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos still tied to the German organisation.

With kNgV-'s addition, Não Tem Como's roster will look as follows:
