paiN Gaming Benches dgt and dav1deuS

Brazilian esports organization paiN Gaming has announced that Franco “dgt” Cabrera and David “dav1deuS” Tapia have been moved to the bench. The decision was confirmed through the club’s social media channels and follows an internal review of the team’s results this season, which fell short of expectations. At the time of publication, the organization has not revealed who will replace the two players. According to a report from Dust2 Brazil, paiN Gaming has already begun searching for new talent and expects to finalize the updated roster before the end of the year.

Dav1deuS joined paiN Gaming in January 2025, while dgt became part of the lineup in April. Despite their relatively short tenure, both players participated in the season’s biggest events. The team achieved a 3rd–4th place finish at the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, earning $80,000 in prize money. Their run at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 was less successful, as the roster failed to reach the playoffs.

Following the changes, the active paiN Gaming roster consists of Rodrigo “biguzera” Bittencourt, Lucas “nqz” Soares, and João “snow” Vinícius, with Henrique “rikz” Waku continuing in his role as head coach. The organization is preparing for a roster rebuild as it aims to strengthen the lineup ahead of the next competitive cycle.
