Sharks have announced that they have moved one of their roster-members in Leonardo "leo_drk" Oliveira to the bench. The Brazilian rifler explains the reasoning for this in a Twitlonger post stating that he is currently a part of a new project initiated by Raphael "cogu" Camargo. The project involves the five players that played under MIBR at the end of 2020 with the addition of Henrique "HEN1" Teles. 

"leo_drk" is one of the longest-serving members of the Sharks organization, having played for them since they entered the Counter-Strike scene in 2017. This could possibly end, however, as he seemingly has other plans in the works. 

Last Friday Sharks player Fillipe "pancc" Martins was suspended from the team for 6 months due to allegations regarding sexual harassment of a teenage girl. With "pancc" being suspended and "leo_drk" benched it leaves Sharks in a discombobulated place with only three players on their roster. Their roster currently looks like this:

Sharks have decided to suspend pancc from their CS:GO team for a period of four to six month after he was accused of sexual harassment by a 15-year-old teenage girl at the time on social media. The 22-year-old Brazilian posted a message on Twitter admitting to the misconduct and apologizing for his actions.

“I was wrong and I’m being 100% sincere coming to talk here, and I want to evolve and not make any more mistakes, I wants to apologize for being invasive, for having acted in a bad way with anyone, I’m in a process of evolution and wanting to be a better person.”

The girl who is 16 years old now, posted a series of WhatsApp and Twitter messages in which pancc said that he wanted to have sex with her and requested intimate photographs, even though she was 16-year-old at the time. pancc acknowledged that she was underage and asked her too keep the messages private.

The 22-year-old Brazilian player will see his salary reduced to match that of a benched player, and 25 per cent of his wages will be donated to a not-for-profit organization that supports women who are victims of sexual harassment. He will also have to undergo therapy, which will be paid for by the organization.

“What we want is that the player understands that the behavior is wrong and will not be accepted or tolerated by society or by the team. He will have the opportunity to get treatment, to overcome this situation and to rebuild his life both personally and professionally” the Portuguese organization said.  

pancc’s return to the line-up will need “need to be validated by a medical report from a specialist,” Sharks have said, nothing that the player will have his contract terminated and will face legal action if he engages in the same behavior.

The tenured duo of Raphael “exit” Lacerda and Jhonatan “jnt” Silva have committed their future to Sharks and the experience of the two members will be a crucial pillar during this rebuilding period for Sharks.

Sharks recently signed Fillipe “pancc” Martins and Lucas “Lucaozy” Neves following the benching of Luca “Luken” Nadotti and departure of Mateus “supLex” Miranda.

Sharks will return to a full roster at the end of the year following the expiry of Leonardo “leo_drk” Oliveira’s loan deal with MIBR.

Sharks have announced that they have worked out a transfer with DETONA and secured Lucaozy to the roster. This is the organization's second signing in just two weeks following the transfer of Fillipe “pancc” Martins from W7M.

The 19-year-old Brazilian have spent over a year with DETONA and helped the squad to win the OMEN Atlantic Challenge in Lisbon. Sharks will return to a full roster following the expiry of Leonardo “leo_drk” Oliveira’s loan deal with MIBR.

Coach Hélder “coachi” Sancho expressed his happiness on Twitter, saying “I am very happy that we have signed Lucaozy. I am sure that he will have more impact with us than he’s ever had before.”
