Brazilian Counter Strike 2 (CS2) club Imperial announced Wednesday through its official X (Twitter) account that the team has officially signed rifler skullz from FURIA.
According to Imperial's official statement, skullz will join the team in the BLAST Open Fall Closed Qualifiers, which begin next week.
In addition, shr will be benched due to the addition of skullz.
The former SAW player ended his tenure as a starting player for Imperial just one month after joining the team. During that time, he played 51 maps for Imperial, averaging a 0.96 rating per game and helping the team win three titles out of five regional tournaments in South America.
After completing the joining procedures, skullz tweeted via his official X account: "Thank you! I will always cherish the wonderful time I had playing for FURIA in this jersey, and a special thank you to the amazing fans."
"Today, I'm so proud to announce that I've joined Imperial! I feel rejuvenated and refreshed, ready to wholeheartedly embark on this new chapter of my life. I look forward to receiving your enthusiastic support. Go, Imperial!"
It's worth noting that Dust2 had exclusively reported Imperial's interest in signing skullz a few days ago, but at the time, the report stated they were looking to sign the player on-loan.
