The Brazilian player has been linked with a place in the Rio Sinistro team since the confirmation that Bruno "bit" Lima could not play in CGS due to age restriction.

Lage will now be given the fifth spot in the team, replacing Olavo “cky” Napoleão, who is currently unable to travel to the United States because of visa problems.

He will have his official debut for Rio Sinistro during the upcoming CGS World Finals, which will be held at the Sony Studios in Los Angeles from December 6-14th.

The former mibr talent is aware of the hard task ahead, saying: "What I think is a problem is that the whole team just started to practice source after the Combine.

"Two months is not much to know all differences between Source and 1.6 and we will face very experienced Source squads in the finals."

Rio Sinistro will attend the CGS World Finals with the following roster:

Raphael “cogu” Camargo
Renato “nak” Nakano
Bruno “bruno” Ono
Jorge “Jorginho” Elias
Norberto “Lance” Lage
