RED Canids have officially welcomed João “felps” Vasconcellos to their lineup, marking a significant reinforcement for the Brazilian squad. With this move, the team now has four active members, and reports from Dust2.com.br indicate that Marcelo “nyezin” Ramos is on the verge of completing the roster on a loan agreement.
Further reports suggest that Henrique “HEN1” Teles is close to securing a contract extension, which would allow RED Canids to maintain their three-man core while preserving their current placement in Valve’s rankings, where they presently hold the No. 56 position.
felps arrives as a permanent transfer from Imperial, where he spent the past year and a half, delivering an impressive 1.14 average rating during his tenure. His time with Imperial included competing in two Majors—Copenhagen and Shanghai—alongside numerous high-profile LAN tournaments. The closest he came to securing a title was a runner-up finish at the Global Esports Tour Rio 2024, showcasing his ability to perform at the highest level.
RED Canids are preparing for their next competition in ESL Challenger League Season 49 South America, where they are set to debut their new roster. Their first match is scheduled for Wednesday at 00:00, with nyezin expected to be in the lineup as the final addition.
With felps now in their ranks, RED Canids aim to solidify their standing and make a strong push in upcoming competitions. Their current roster consists of:
- Marcelo “coldzera” David (Brazil)
- Carlos “venomzera” Eduardo (Brazil)
- Henrique “HEN1” Teles (Brazil)
- João “felps” Vasconcellos (Brazil)
