Keyd Stars Announces New CS2 Roster

Brazilian esports organization Keyd Stars has officially announced its return to the Counter-Strike 2 scene with a completely revamped roster. The team’s presentation was made via the club’s X social media page and quickly drew attention from fans across the region.

The core of the new lineup comes from Flamengo Esports, with Vinicius “v$m” Moreira, Lucas “CutzMeretz” Freitas, and Daniel “danoco” Morgado all joining Keyd Stars. Alongside them, Flamengo’s coach Matheus “Kaos” Nicolau has also made the switch, ensuring continuity and team synergy. The fifth addition to the roster is Felipe “delboNi” Delboni, another familiar face from the Brazilian CS2 scene.

From the previous Keyd Stars roster, only Emerson “desh” Henrique remains. With this move, the organization has combined experience with fresh talent, building a lineup of recognizable and promising players from the Brazilian esports landscape.

Keyd Stars’ return to Counter-Strike carries symbolic weight. It was in 2015 that the club became the first Brazilian entity to qualify for a CS Major, a milestone for the region. However, in 2021 the organization departed from the discipline, only to announce its return in June 2025. Only two months later, in August, the team disintegrated again. Keyd Stars are now writing a new page in their history with an entirely new lineup.
