Brazilian football club Santos have announced their foray into male Counter-Strike with a team headlined by former Luminosity member Gustavo "⁠SHOOWTiME⁠" Gonçalves.

The 21-year-old had been on the lookout for a new team to represent since he and Vinicios "⁠PKL⁠" Coelho were shown the exit door by Luminosity as the North American organisation signed twin brothers Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles and Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles.

He will be joined in this new adventure by other well-known players in the Brazilian scene, including his former Rampage Killers teammate Thiago "⁠tifa⁠" França and ex-Tempo Storm player Denis "⁠dzt⁠" Fischer.
