Vinicios "⁠PKL⁠" Coelho has left paiN

Vinicios "⁠PKL⁠" Coelho has left paiN in preparation for his upcoming move to Fluxo, concluding a 53-month relationship with the squad that he began in February 2019 with Rodrigo "biguzera" Bittencourt.

The team's in-game captain had left the active roster in February, claiming the necessity for a sabbatical due to personal, family, health, and psychological issues. He also mentioned at the time that he would visit a psychologist and receive physiotherapy in order to address a spine issue while he was away. After PKL left, paiN also experienced success, rising to No. 13 in the rankings, competing in the ESL Pro League Season 17 playoffs, and earning their highest placement to date.
