Immortals have formally confirmed the addition of Caio "zqkS" Fonseca to their CS:GO lineup.

The 25-year-old returns to North America after a brief spell with Ghost to help the PGL Major Krakow runners-up, who were on the lookout for a new AWPer following Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles's decision to step down from the active roster together with twin brother Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles.

Immortals turned to Caio "⁠zqkS⁠" Fonseca after being rebuffed in their chase of Luminosity talent Gustavo "⁠yel⁠" Knittel and of TeamOne veteran Pedro "⁠Maluk3⁠" Campos.

On the Brazilian team, zqkS will reunite with Lucas "⁠steel⁠" Lopes and Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass, who were his teammates on the KaBuM/Keyd Stars roster that attended MGL X Games Aspen and the ESL One Katowice Major in early 2015.

"zqkS' spirited hunger and professionalism aimed towards competitive success have convinced myself and my staff that he’s a fantastic addition to round out our CS:GO roster," Nick Phan, Immortals' General Manager, said in a statement.

zqkS becomes Immortals' third signing since their impressive campaign at the last Major, following in the footsteps of João "⁠horvy⁠" Horvath and Lucas "⁠DeStiNy⁠" Bullo, who signed from k1ck and Luminosity, respectively.

The new Immortals line-up will make its first appearance this weekend, in the North American closed qualifier for the Americas Minor, in which 16 teams will battle it out for five spots at the $50,000 event.
