Brazilian esports organization ODDIK has officially exited the Counter-Strike scene after struggling with high market risks and financial unsustainability. The club narrowly missed qualifying for the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 by just 16 points, following two previous RMR tournament appearances.

Founder Felipe Castor Barros highlighted the heavy financial burdens that made maintaining a competitive roster impossible under current market conditions.

“Investments are not only very risky, but also extremely expensive. Everything - fines, salaries, and players - is incredibly overpriced,” Castor said.

The organization will pivot its resources toward developing games for Roblox with a team of seven developers. The club previously attempted to enter the VALORANT franchised system under Riot Games, but that application was ultimately rejected.

“Roblox pays for people playing your game, as well as for items you can sell inside it,” Castor explained regarding the shift in business strategy.

Following the closure of the CS2 division, players diozera and nardes have been placed on the bench with active contracts running until the end of 2027, making them available for transfer. Castor remains open to a potential return if the economic ecosystem improves.

“I do not consider CS a lost dream - it is a postponed dream. Someday, I might have more money to invest, and then I will return,” Castor stated.
