Imperial transferred HEN1 to reserve

The Brazilian cyber sports club Imperial has announced changes to its Counter-Strike 2 roster, moving Henrique "HEN1" Teles to the bench. The announcement was made on the social network X.

Teles has been representing Imperial since July of last year, having previously played for MIBR, GODSENT, and 00Nation. The Brazilian's average rating over the past three months was 1.1. HEN1 stated that he is open to new offers.

Rumour has it that the vacant spot on the roster might be taken by 19-year-old Argentine sniper Santino "try" Rigal, who has been on the bench for 9z since last year. Imperial has already registered Rigal in their roster for ESL Challenger Season 48 South America.

Imperial finished last at the FiReLEAGUE 2024 Global Finals in Buenos Aires but secured a spot in the upcoming ESL Pro League Season 20. Currently, the team ranks 28th in the HLTV standings.

The current Imperial roster:

- Vinicius "VINI" Figueiredo

- João "felps" Vasconcellos

- Kaike "noway" Santos

- Lucas "decenty" Bacelar

- Rafael "zakk" Fernandes (coach)
