The 19-year old talent will still take part in TeamOne’s European bootcamp and help the team to develop, even though not being eligible for officials.

“In view of this scenario which we are going through in CS where Valve has prohibited 6-man rosters, I will no longer participate in championships for now. But I will continue to train normally and evolve as much as possible with the team, taking advantage of the bootcamp here in Europe!” – cass1n says on Twitter

TeamOne

TeamOne has just announced the signing of two new players to their roster. After the departure of Bruno "br4rtiN" Câmara, who has been linked with a new project, TeamOne was down to only four members in their roster. This, of course, meant a new signing, but instead ended up with two. The two signings in Felipe "skullz" Medeiros and Cássio "cass1n" Santos means that TeamOne will be trying out the six-man roster set up in 2021. Both players, as well as the signing of new coach Ricardo "dead" Sinigaglia, have signed a three-year contract with the organization. 

The two new members of TeamOne are both extremely young at an impressive age of 18 years old. This, however, isn't unfamiliar territory for the Brazilian organization. TeamOne's CEO Alexandre "kakaveL" Peres stated the following in a press release: 

"TeamOne has always been committed to creating young talents and this time it will be no different." He followed up by saying: "We believe that we have made the right choices again and that we will reap the rewards in a few months.”

With the team's new signings it will be interesting to see in the upcoming months if the young players in "skullz" and "cass1n" will be able to boost the rankings of the Brazilian team, who currently ranks 24th. in the world, according to HLTV official rankings. Furthermore, it is still unclear as to who will have to play the back-up role in the roster.
