The Brazilian team qualified for the ESWC tournament following a third placing in the event that took place in Ibirapuera, São Paulo.

However, this placing meant that LAN-Sports - Exotic would have to pay all of the necessary expenses to travel to France and stay there during the tournament as only the winner of the qualifier had secured paid travel to Paris.

Since the LAN-Sports - Exotic organisation wasn't able to pay these expenses, Prado saw himself unable to attend that which will be one of the most important events of the year.

"The absence of zews was a surprise, we did the best we could during these two weeks to make all the team travel, unfortunately that wasn't possible and we will have to pay all the expenses by ourselves," Guilherme “spacca” Spacca told ESBR.com.

"We spoke with the organisation to at least pay zews' expenses during the whole week, but unfortunately, exotic's sponsors support the team with equipment and not with money, so it was almost impossible for them to pay it(...)

Silveira, former member of GC.br and current member of local top team semXorah, was the perfect choice to fill the last slot.

Spacca admits it will be hard to surpass these last-minute changes but is confident that the new player will do his best to help the team achieve a high placing in France.

"Leo is a very dedicated kid, the ones who played with him know that, not that zews isn't dedicated, but leo has a strong sense of commitment, that will surely help," Spacca said.

LS-Exotic will attend the event with the following roster:

Guilherme “spacca” Spacca
Leandro “Impada” Chagas
Nicholas “guerri” Nogueira
Arthur “prd” Resende
Leonardo “leo” Borghi Silveira
