“We have chosen our carry for the next tournament”, – paiN Gaming coach
The coach of South American team paiN Gaming, Juan Vintage Angulo, announced that the team has made a final decision on the club's carry for the next tournament - ESL One Birmingham 2026. The statement was published on his personal X page.
Many thanks to Smiling Knight for helping us at DreamLeague Season 28. We appreciate your performance and we part ways on good terms. We have also finalized our carry for ESL One Birmingham 2026. We are excited about what lies ahead and fully committed to the chosen path.
Thus, at the upcoming championship the team will compete with a new position one player. However, the name of the new carry has not yet been disclosed.
It is worth noting that the team’s previous carry was David Parker Nicho Flores. Due to his irresponsible attitude toward the game, internal issues began to arise within the roster, after which the decision was made to replace him.
Initially, the change was planned only for DreamLeague Season 28, where the team finished in 11th–14th place. However, it appears that the problems were not resolved, and the club is expected to present a new player in the near future.
