Brazilian Counter Strike 2 (CS2) icon Marcelo "coldzera" David has once again proved his mettle in CS2 espors. Despite recent years casting shadows over his illustrious career, the two-time Major MVP has emerged triumphant, securing his spot in the inaugural CS2 Major, leaving North America's hopefuls in his wake.

The path to glory was paved with determination and resilience as Legacy, the team now synonymous with coldzera's legacy, clinched their ticket to the prestigious PGL Copenhagen Major. In a gripping showdown against M80, Legacy displayed unwavering resolve, rallying from an early setback to claim victory with a decisive 2-1 triumph.

For coldzera, this momentous occasion marks a return to the grand stage of Counter-Strike after a hiatus following the IEM Rio Major in 2022. Despite previous setbacks, including a lackluster performance with 00 Nation, coldzera's resolve remained unbroken, fueled by an unyielding passion for the game.

The journey to Copenhagen was not without its trials and tribulations. Following the dissolution of 00 Nation, coldzera and his comrades embarked on a new chapter, rebranding as Legacy and welcoming back Bruno "b4rtiN" Câmara from the world of VALORANT. Under coldzera's leadership, Legacy navigated through a fiercely competitive landscape, emerging victorious in the South America closed qualifier for the American RMR.

The road to redemption was fraught with challenges, including a bitter defeat at the hands of paiN Gaming in the RMR opener. However, fueled by determination and a burning desire for victory, Legacy rallied, vanquishing formidable foes such as Nouns, M80, and even coldzera's former organization, MIBR, to secure their rightful place in Copenhagen.
