paiN have announced the addition of Gabriel "⁠NEKIZ⁠" Schenato, who has replaced Alef "⁠tatazin⁠" Pereira in the lineup.

NEKIZ comes in as a reinforcement to the lineup shortly after the conclusion of the team's participation in the regular season of Brasileirão Season 1, in which the team placed second to RED Canids, against whom they will clash in the grand final.

The 24-year-old had spent the last two months looking for new challenges after his former team, ex-Luminosity, split up at the beginning of October following parting ways with the North American organization.

NEKIZ will add heaps of experience to the internationally unseasoned paiN squad, having attended a variety of tournaments as part of Luminosity over the last two years, most notably helping them place second at DreamHack Open stops in Valencia and Atlanta in 2018.

This will be the player's second stint under the Brazilian organization, whom he represented alongside his new teammate Paulo "⁠land1n⁠" Felipe in 2017 before his move to LG.

paiN's roster now looks as follows:
