A clerical error by Perfect World has caused Valve to introduce MIBR benched player Breno “brnz4n” Poletto’s player signature replacing Lucas “Lucaozy” Neves’ stickers who is a substitute but appeared for the side in the RMR.
According to the rules of Valve, only the team’s starters at the time of roster submission receive stickers and economic benefits. Lucaozy joined the team after the submissions closed and even though he will play the event with the team, the sticker and proceeds will go to brnz4n.
Tim “nawwk” Jonasson (Fnatic), Timofey “interz” Yakushin (Cloud9), and Sebastian “Tauson” Tauson (GamerLegion) share the boat with Lucaozy as despite their participation, Valve’s regulation has denied them a sticker to immortalize them in the game.
Lucaozy’s stickers will likely get replaced with brnz4n’s sticker for those who current own the former.
Implementation of this rule has yielded a pool of mixed opinions from the fans who believe that the player taking part in the tournament should get the deserved credit in the form of a sticker.
HLTV threads are filled with community members sympathising with Lucaozy given he performed well for MIBR at the RMR which got the team to the Major. He was instrumental in the team’s success and for his name to be removed in this fashion for a rule seems unnecessarily cruel.
