Time goes by, and players are sold at high prices, but Sharks are cooking again. The Portuguese organization built an invincible roster against Brazilian teams for four months<\/a>. A notorious record for a team who are always a target for the major Brazilian teams to reinforce their lineups during the transfer window. Their record was broken with two losses on the same day: one to Paquet\u00c3\u00a1 in the CCT South America Series 9 final and then to 00Nation in the TG Master Fall final.<\/p>\n

Huge record<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sharks’\u0099 history of selling players is not a new story. One of the first cases was Ignacio ‘\u009cMeyern’\u009d Meyer, who was sold to MIBR at the end of 2019. Raphael ‘\u009cexit’\u009d Lacerda also left the team to join MIBR for an unknown amount. The same goes for Leonardo ‘\u009cleo_drk’\u009d to O PLANO in 2021.<\/p>\n

The peak for the Portuguese organization was during mid-2022 with the Lucas ‘\u009cLucaozy’\u009d Neves and Romeu ‘\u009czevy’\u009d Rocco sales, with both figures being public. According to Dust2 Brazil, zevy was transferred to paiN for \u00e2\u0082\u00ac325 EUR thousand<\/a> and Lucaozy to Fluxo for the same amount<\/a>.<\/p>\n

New days<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Following several changes in the roster, this new Sharks roster is letting the team dream with international stages. Rodrigo ‘\u009cdrg’\u009d Ausenka is the pillar of the team. The captain and in-game leader is the most experienced player and the one with the most time wearing Sharks jersey. Drg came from B4 in May of 2022, but it was during his time in Redemption POA and Havan Liberty that his results really shined.<\/p>\n

He’s only 21, but Victor ‘\u009ctogs’\u009d Rapassi has a huge history behind him. In the roster for the last three months, the high-rated player, togs, has a history of being called a ‘\u009ccheater’\u009d which led ESL and Gamers Club to investigate him in 2020<\/a>, although the investigations failed to prove any wrongdoing. Since then, following some short stints with Imperial and RED Canids, togs joined the team in September of last year. The rifler has a lot of potential, and he’\u0099s shown it on the server already.<\/p>\n

Victor ‘\u009cGafolo’\u009d Andrade is the AWPer for the team and his rating speaks for itself, but the player offers more than that. Gafolo is also comfortable with a rifle and has a 1.12 opening kill ratio over the last three months. The sniper joined Sharks at the beginning of 2023, and previously played for SWS, Isurus and Paquet\u00c3\u00a1.<\/p>\n

The second high-rated player in the team is the prospect Daniel ‘\u009crdnzao’\u009d Monteiro. The rifler joined the team alongside Gafolo, coming from Liberty. He was one of the new discoveries from the Sharks scouting team. More recently, Danilo ‘\u009cdoc’\u009d Barros joined the team at the end of June and promises to be another diamond for the Sharks to mold.<\/p>\n

In June, Sharks won CBCS Season 1 and approximately $10,000. Even with good teams attending the event like RED Canids, ODDIK, BESTIA, O Plano and Case, Sharks were still able to claim the trophy. Sharks have been playing in domestic tournaments in Brazil, such as CCT South America, as well as competing for spots in international tournaments.<\/p>\n
