Fluxo sign exit: Full roster confirmed as Lucaozy takes over IGL duties

Fluxo have officially completed their Counter-Strike 2 roster by signing Raphael “exit” Lacerda, finalizing their lineup ahead of the 2026 season. The Brazilian organization confirmed that exit replaces Andrei “arT” Piovezan, who was benched earlier in January, while Lucas “Lucaozy” Neves will assume in-game leading responsibilities.

The move marks Fluxo’s final step in restructuring their roster following an inconsistent 2025 campaign and signals a shift toward internal leadership continuity rather than importing a dedicated IGL.

Fluxo confirm exit signing after arT benching

Exit joins Fluxo as a free agent after deciding not to renew his contract with MIBR, ending a nearly five-year tenure with the organization. During his time at MIBR, exit served as team captain and primary in-game leader, gaining a reputation as one of Brazil’s most experienced tactical voices.

Fluxo had benched arT on January 8, shortly before finalizing negotiations with exit. While exit brings leadership experience, Fluxo confirmed that he will not take over the IGL role.

Instead, Lucaozy — who recently returned to Fluxo — will lead the team in-game.

exit reacts: “A very ambitious project”

Following the announcement, exit commented on his move, highlighting both motivation and belief in Fluxo’s long-term vision:

“I’m very motivated by this new challenge. Fluxo has an ambitious project, a very solid structure, and players with a great hunger for victory. I believe we have everything to build a great competitive year together.”

Leadership stays internal: Lucaozy named IGL

Fluxo’s decision to keep the IGL role in-house suggests a focus on stability rather than a full tactical reset. Lucaozy previously played alongside exit during his earlier stint at MIBR, providing an existing level of familiarity between the two.

Lucaozy has previously spoken about returning to Fluxo with a renewed mindset, emphasizing maturity and responsibility after gaining experience elsewhere.

Why Fluxo made the change

Before being benched, arT publicly addressed Fluxo’s struggles with consistency, pointing out the team’s tendency to alternate between strong wins and unexpected losses. Coach tacitus later echoed similar concerns after Fluxo’s Major campaign, noting difficulties in handling pressure when qualification expectations increased.

The addition of exit appears aimed at reinforcing structure and experience, while avoiding another complete rebuild.

Tournament debut and upcoming matches

Exit is expected to make his debut with Fluxo at:

BetBoom Circuit X Redemption Curitiba (LAN, $25,000 prize pool)

IEM Rio Americas Closed Qualifier, where Fluxo are scheduled to face ShindeN in their opening match

These events will serve as the first real test of Fluxo’s reworked lineup.
