According to information reported by Dust2 Brasil, legendary Brazilian player Marcelo “coldzera” David is close to leaving RED Canids. His contract with the organization is coming to an end, and sources say that coldzera will not renew the deal and has already informed both the club and his teammates. His next destination could be ODDIK, a team currently looking to strengthen its lineup.
coldzera — A CS Legend
Marcelo “coldzera” David is one of the most iconic players in Counter-Strike history. He rose to global fame during his time with Luminosity Gaming, SK Gaming, and MIBR, where he consistently proved himself as a top-tier talent. His career highlights include major tournament victories:
- MLG Major Championship: Columbus 2016
- ESL One: Cologne 2016
- ESL One: Cologne 2017
- Esports Championship Series Season 3 – Finals
- EPICENTER 2017
In addition to these titles, coldzera was named HLTV’s best player in the world twice — in 2016 and 2017.
A Move to ODDIK — Back to His Rifler Roots?
coldzera spent over a year with RED Canids, during which he secured several domestic trophies, including CBCS Masters Maromba, CBCS Season 4, and the Odyssey Cup. He also represented the team in international events like ESL Pro League Season 20, the FiReLEAGUE Global Final, and two RMR tournaments.
Now, according to reports, his next destination might be ODDIK — a Brazilian team seeking stability after a series of roster changes. Interestingly, in this new lineup, coldzera could return to his traditional rifler role, stepping away from the AWP and in-game leadership. These duties are currently handled by Adriano “WOOD7” Cerato.
What coldzera Could Bring to ODDIK
Despite a recent decline in his career, coldzera remains a veteran with vast experience, proven LAN performance, and a winner’s mindset. His arrival at ODDIK could serve as both a moral boost and a tactical upgrade, especially for the younger players who would benefit from his leadership and game sense. If the integration goes well, ODDIK will gain not only a reliable rifler but also a respected figure on and off the server.
If the move is confirmed, ODDIK’s roster would be:
- Adriano “WOOD7” Cerato
- Filipe “pancc” Martins
- Ítalo “ksloks” Meinberg
- João “naitte” Maia
- Marcelo “coldzera” David
- Caio “CX1” Coutinho (coach)
