Imperial have announced that they have completed the signing of AWPer Guilherme "saadzin" Pacheco from Legacy amid reports that Santino "try" Rigal is moving in the opposite direction.
saadzin will step into the shoes of Guilherme "levi" Gustavo, who was benched by Imperial after just four months on the team.
Earlier this week, saadzin played for Imperial as a stand-in in CCT South America Series 3, averaging a 1.09 rating as the team won the $15,000 online tournament by beating ALKA, Isurus, LP and Bounty Hunters.
saadzin spent two years with Legacy following his May 2024 transfer from W7M. He averaged a 1.09 rating while playing for Legacy, winning two CAC titles and competing at the Majors in Austin, Budapest and Cologne.
With a new AWPer in place, Imperial will now turn their focus to filling the vacancy left by head coach Rafael "zakk" Fernandes's departure.
