Media: n1ssim returns to Legacy's starting roster

The player decided to return to the lineup after asking to be benched following the IEM Cologne Major.

Vinicius "⁠n1ssim⁠" Pereira is set to return to Legacy's active roster after just over three weeks on the bench, according to a report by Dust2.com.br.

The 25-year-old Brazilian rifler had requested to move to the team's inactive lineup after Legacy were eliminated from Stage 3 of the IEM Cologne Major with a 1-3 record. According to the report, management and the other players did not want n1ssim to depart the lineup, and his decision to return has been well-received.

In the interim, Legacy had attempted negotiations for several players to fill n1ssim's spot, including Felipe "⁠insani⁠" Yuji — who chose to remain in MIBR until the end of the year — and Tomas "⁠tomaszin⁠" Corna, who was still in active talks to join the team despite BESTIA resisting negotiations for his transfer. Those negotiations are not expected to proceed with n1ssim now set to return.

Legacy will still head into the second half of the year with a modified roster as it is close to finalizing a deal with Imperial for Santino "⁠try⁠" Rigal as a replacement for Guilherme "⁠saadzin⁠" Pacheco. The latter player is already playing for Imperial as part of a loan deal between the organizations.
