fnx, TACO to Luminosity

Luminosity have made a suprising roster change with the addition of Lincoln "fnx" Lau and Epitacio "TACO" Pessoa.

Seemingly out of the blue, Luminosity Gaming have announced that they will be making drastic alterations to their famous Brazilian lineup as the bring in two up-and-coming stars Lincoln "fnx" Lau and Epitacio "TACO" Pessoa to their roster. To make room for them,  Ricardo "boltz" Prass and Lucas "steel" Lopes have been released from the team. Luminosity issued the following statement on the matter:

It is with an extremely heavy heart that we announce we have parted ways with our dear friends steel, boltz and nak from our CS:GO team.  The changes will take affect immediately. This decision was not made lightly, and was made collectively as a team.  Over the past few months our team has consistantly failed to obtain the results we had hoped to achieve as an organization.  We ask that you respect the decision and the process of roster changes, that goes on behind the scenes.

 We feel it best to keep the discussions, reasons, and details private between the players and the organization.  We have a tremendous amount of appreciation and empathy for each one of them.  We are truly grateful for their contributions and they will not be forgotten.  Our new squad mirrors this sentiment and will move forward and compete with full hearts and a viciously defined purpose, to once again be World champions!”

On Facebook, Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo posted a response of his own:

Today we have to say goodbye to big players and friends. It was and still is a really tough decision to all our team. Boltz and steel has been primordial part on the success we reached until now and we are really grateful for all the hard work that they put during all this year within our goals.

Nak came to add a new blood and ideas to the team that were really helpful too.
Its been a while since we have been close to winning big games. Changing players are always the last ever possibility for us. We tried to make changes and adapt ourselves in order to get better results but we simply couldn't achieve it. We hope that with this change we will be able to improve once again our level, we know that we are close reaching our goals, we know where we could be and where we want to be. This decision, even being that harsh as it is for us, won't be purposeless. We will be back stronger! I wish goodluck to nak, boltz and steel. I will miss living with you guys. Thanks for everything and I'm forever proud of what we have done together.”

Additionally, Luminosity Gaming will be swapping coaches for their squad as well, Wilton "zews" Prado, who will take over the position from the team's longtime mentor Renato "nak" Nakano. LG now has the following roster:

 Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo
 Fernando "fer" Alvarenga
 Epitacio "TACO" Pessoa
 Lincoln "fnx" Lau 
 Marcelo "cold" S.
