paiN is reportedly in the final stages of negotiations to acquire David “dav1deuS” Tapia Maldonado from RED Canids, according to a report by Dust2.com.br. This transfer is anticipated to ignite a wave of roster changes across the Brazilian esports scene.

Discussions between the two organizations have advanced significantly in recent days, with an agreement expected to be finalized soon. However, the process has been delayed as paiN is simultaneously working on transferring Lucas “lux” Meneghini to Legacy, who earlier confirmed the signing of Vinicius “n1ssim” Pereira.

The departure of dav1deuS is likely to have significant implications for RED Canids. According to Dust2.com.br, the funds from this deal are expected to facilitate the acquisition of Ricardo “boltz” Prass and João “felps” Vasconcellos from Imperial.

The future of Henrique “HEN1” Teles within RED Canids also remains unclear, as his loan extension has yet to be finalized. Should HEN1 depart, RED Canids would face a reset of their VRS points due to losing their three-man core.

dav1deuS is expected to make his debut for paiN at the BLAST Bounty event, scheduled to take place on January 12.
