The Brazilian based Counter-Strike:Global Offensive team paiN Gaming has announced that Gabriel 'NEKIZ' Schenato will go innactive within the roster.

The anouncement came on the dust2.us news website, there a post of the player on his twitter page was posted.

On his page, NEKIZ wrote:

" Speak up guys, all right? As of today, after 3 years working for paiN Gaming, I will no longer play for the team.

This last season I was no longer satisfied with how things were inside the team in and out game, and by bringing up these points that bothered me in team discussions, no change happened.

There I saw that our team would have no future, unfortunately, and that my place was no longer in paiN.I'm happy to follow a different path, during this season I was already thinking about, I know that any team I join will add a lot.

I think this change will make me reach the best possible level, and my biggest current goal, which is to play this Major in Rio.

Good luck to the boys, maximum respect for everyone and may they achieve the same goal as well. I'm open to all kinds of proposals, living in EU, NA and even foreign teams.

Thank you to all paiN fans, you always represented and helped a lot during this walk, you guys are awesome! It's been 3 years of a lot of dedication and partnership, and I think it's going to be good for everyone.

We are together guys and see you at the server."

So the future of NEKIZ is now uncertain while paiN Gaming now has:

• Rodrigo 'biguzera' Bittencourt
• Wesley 'hardzao' Lopes
• Vinicios 'PKL' Coelho (C)
• Gabriel 'nython' Lino
• Gabriel 'NEKIZ' Schenato (innactive)
• Bruno 'bruno' Ono (coach)
