Brazilian team Keyd Stars are in negotiations with the former Counter Strike: Global Offensive roster of Kabum! e-sports, Keyd’s management tells theScore eSports.

“We're negotiating with the boys and validating the project with some partners and sponsors, we hope to clear everything up with them and have them really well supported!” stated Renan Philip of Keyd Stars.

If signed, the team will be Keyd’s first venture into CS:GO. Keyd Stars is a premiere organization within the Brazilian eSports scene. In September 2014 the organization signed a title sponsorship with Vivo, Brazil’s largest telecommunications company and were renamed Vivo Fibra Keyd Stars.

Kabum’s former CS:GO team is widely regarded as the strongest team in Brazilian CS:GO, and is quickly becoming a regular at international events. But the increased presence came at a cost as Kabum! refused to sponsor their trip to the ESL One Katowice qualifiers and thus were required to crowd fund their trip to Poland.

The team upset Team Dignitas to qualify for Katowice, but this meant that the team would have to find the funds to fly to Poland once again and Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo stated in a post-game interview that he did not know what the team was going to do secure travel.

Today, Kabum parted ways with their CS:GO team and posted a statement on their facebook page stating that the team opted not to renew their contract.
