Visca el Fluxo: LA MASIA squad finds new home under Fluxo W7M

LA MASIA , the champions of Brazil Gamers Club Stage 2, have found a new home after competing through the entirety of the 2026 season without an org, signed by Fluxo W7M ahead of the VCT Americas Stage 2 Play-Ins.

Fluxo W7M, formed in 2025 through a merger of Brazilian esports orgs Fluxo and W7M, fields teams in several titles, including Rainbow Six Siege, League of Legends, and Counter-Strike 2.

LA MASIA has been the story of the season in the Brazilian Challengers circuit. After finishing third in Stage 1, the team fought through Stage 2's Regular Phase and Play-In before completing a gauntlet run in the lower bracket of the playoffs, upending 2Game Esports in the Grand Final.

Arthur "tuyz" Andrade, arguably the most recognizable face on the team, is well known from previous stints with LOUD and FURIA . João "jzz" Pedro competed with MIBR from 2022 to 2024, while Davi "Palla" Alcides and Matheus "mazin" Araújo played for both FURIA and MIBR in the past. While the four aforementioned players are chasing their second shot against VCT competition, Carlos "Zanatsu" Eduardo is looking to seize his first chance. The journeyman has competed for a number of Tier 2 South American outfits, including RED Canids , Stellae Gaming , and 9z Globant . The team is coached by Jordan "stkJ" Nunes, who coached MIBR in Valorant's pre-partnership era and was later an assistant coach-turned-head coach for LOUD.

While the draw for the Challengers teams' matchups against VCT teams has not been made yet, the field has been whittled down. KRÜ Esports , ENVY , FURIA , and Cloud9 , after finishing in the bottom two of Group Alpha and Group Omega, will be tasked with taking on Challengers teams in the opening round of the Play-Ins, which begin on August 13.

Fluxo W7M is now:

• Matheus "mazin" Araújo
• João "jzz" Pedro
• Arthur "tuyz" Andrade
• Davi "Palla" Alcides
• Carlos "Zanatsu" Eduardo
• Jordan "stkJ" Nunes (Coach)
