Fluxo have locked in their rebuilt roster. David “dav1deuS” Tapia Maldonado and João “Ltz” Bonetti join the Brazilian organization ahead of BetBoom Circuit X Base Recife 2026, which kicks off Wednesday, May 27.

dav1deuS arrives as a free agent after RED Canids benched their entire squad on April 24 following a 9th-12th finish at IEM Rio 2026 and a failed Major qualification campaign. The Chilean rifler spent the early months of 2026 with RED Canids after transferring from paiN, but the org pulled the plug on the project before he could settle in. He entered free agency on May 9.

Ltz comes over from UNO MILLE, where he posted a 1.22 rating across 2026 and helped the squad make deep runs in domestic competition, including a strong showing at the CCT 2026 Challengers South America series. At 20, he’s the kind of pickup that signals intent: Fluxo aren’t patching holes, they’re investing in ceiling.

The two replace Kayke “kye” Bertolucci and Matheus “mlhzin” Marçola, both removed from the active lineup in early May after Fluxo’s season cratered. The team missed out on the IEM Cologne Major 2026, and results across Circuit X and CCT events offered no lifeline. Something had to give.

Fluxo also added Caio “cx1” Coutinho to the coaching staff as an assistant, joining head coach Gustavo “Juve” Alexandre. cx1 previously worked with ODDIK.

The final five:

  • zevy
  • Lucaozy
  • exit
  • dav1deuS
  • Ltz

Coach: Juve. Assistant coach: cx1.

What to Expect in Recife

The new Fluxo lineup debuts against BlackBelt in Group B on Wednesday. The format is best-of-three, and the stakes are straightforward: prove the rebuild was worth the reset, or face a long summer of questions.

dav1deuS brings international experience and the kind of firepower that a team built around Lucaozy needs to take pressure off their best player. Ltz brings the numbers. If the chemistry clicks fast, this Fluxo roster has the raw talent to compete for Circuit X titles and push back into Major contention later in the year.

That’s a big “if” for a squad playing together for the first time on LAN. But doing nothing wasn’t an option, and Fluxo’s front office moved quickly once the pieces became available. Now it’s on the server.
