Where ksloks came from
ksloks is the in-game name of Italo Meinberg Couto, a 21-year-old Brazilian rifler. He’s been playing professionally since 2021. He played for Vikings KR in spring 2024 and joined ODDIK that July, spending nearly two years there with breaks in inactive status. Before joining Legacy, he played for Turma do Pagode from August to October 5, 2026.
Legacy have listed ksloks as a stand-in, so for now his role is limited to the remaining tournaments of the season.
n1ssim benched again
Vinicius Pereira (n1ssim) is a 25-year-old Brazilian rifler. HLTV describes him as the team’s anchor. Before joining Legacy, he was with Sharks Esports and had loan spells at Flamengo Esports (January to April 2023) and paiN Gaming (November 2023 to March 2024). He joined Legacy on January 2, 2025. During his time with the team, Legacy reached the final of PGL Masters Bucharest 2025 and won CS Asia Championships 2026 and FISSURE Playground #3.
This isn’t n1ssim’s first time on the bench. Legacy moved him there by mutual agreement on June 15, then brought him back to the starting lineup on July 9. Now he’s inactive again, but remains under contract with the organization.
