It was eventually a full backwards and forwards series with paiN disassembling the first match with relative ease only to become knocked down inside the next match. Rinse. Repeat. It was eventually a nail-biting 5th game with full swings of highs and lows, all-out aggression and mounting pressure that personified the not just the series however the SA region's Pro Circuit 2017-2018 season overall.

Towards finished of April SG esports were relegated the SA TI8 open qualifiers once they lost their captain Lucas ''bardo Barbosa who had chosen to bring a break in her gaming career because of personal problems. Although coach Emilano “c4t” Ito had made several appearances in the LAN events using the team, it was eventually Francis FrancisLee Lee and Stanley Stan King Yang from North America that will finish up joining up using the team using the hopes of gaining the sole spot to represent South America at TI8.

However it wasn't until mid-April the Brazilian team officially recruited w33 to become a member from the team. Ever since that day the team showed rapid and dramatic improvements as they simply came in 2nd to the China Super Major qualifiers, qualified for ESL One Birmingham where they eventually took a powerful 3rd place after taking 7th at EPICENTER XL Major after which qualified to the SA regional with their first attempt. For several, it would appear that w33 wasn‘t only a very good fit to the squad but brought them the much-needed guidance and insight to assist compete against the remainder of the top tier teams worldwide.
