Running it back
Mazino was one of the original members of KRÜ when they first joined the competitive scene 3 years ago. They quickly became a powerful team in Latin America, representing the region at all major international tournaments for 2 years. Most notably, KRÜ made headlines at Champions 2021 with surprising victories over favorites like Sentinels and FNATIC, with them almost defeating Gambit Esports, who had just won Masters Berlin. After that run, Mazino left KRÜ to compete with their direct rivals, LEVIATÁN. With the Argentinian organization, he achieved great success, winning Stage 2 of the Americas league and finishing 3rd at Champions this year. However, despite this impressive performance, Mazino was released from the team ultimately making his way back to KRÜ.
Shyy, Melser, and Keznit were in a similar situation. They kicked things off strong with a 5 game winning streak in Stage 1, but then faced a tough stretch with 7 consecutive defeats. Just when it looked like the team might fall apart, they mustered some strength and managed to secure a crucial victory against 100 Thieves, allowing them to qualify for Champions. However, at said event, they only managed to snag 1 win against Bilibili Gaming before getting knocked out in the group stage by EMEA rivals Fnatic.

The new guy
Adverso used to be a member of regional rivals LEVIATÁN, joining their Australs team 2 years ago. He played a key role in helping Leviatán make their international debut by leading them to a victory over KRÜ, which allowed them to qualify for Masters Copenhagen and Champions in a swift motion. However, after 2022, he was allowed to explore options by the squad. He then moved to All Knights to compete in the Latin American Tier 2 scene. Although they fell short of reaching Ascension by just 1 contest last year, All Knights managed to qualify for the tournament in 2024, where they finished in 3rd place.
Now the squad has a familiar set of players which understand the ultimate goal of the organization, while including a new piece to refresh things up for the other 4. On paper this is one of the best lineups in the league, but only time will tell if they still have the same synergy.
