In the early hours of Wednesday, a heated exchange between a player from Vivo Keyd Stars (VKS) and another from paiN Gaming (PNG) in a League of Legends (LoL) match sent shockwaves through the gaming community. The drama unfolded when Daniel Xavier “Grevthar” Ferreira, an athlete from RED Canids, shared a screenshot on X (formerly Twitter) that captured the intense moment. It all started when Marcos “CarioK” Oliveira, the jungler for PNG, and Adrian “Trymbi” Trybus, the support player for VKS, found themselves on the same team in a ranked match. However, things took a turn when Trymbi began trash-talking CarioK, who was on the same team.
The conversation took a heated turn after a lost team fight, with Trymbi saying, “You’re really bad, Pantheon. It’s unbelievable, you just walk forward and don’t do anything, what’s wrong with you?” This comment was made 32 minutes into the game, and it seemed to spark a fiery reaction from CarioK. The jungler from paiN Gaming shot back, calling Trymbi “esquisito” (which roughly translates to “weird” or “odd”). Trymbi responded by saying, “In this game, Brance (a player from RED who played in the enemy jungle) was your dad, that’s what happened.” CarioK then reminded Trymbi that his team, VKS, finished eighth in the LTA Sul and failed to qualify for the playoffs, while paiN Gaming achieved the feat.
The exchange between Trymbi and CarioK has sparked a lively discussion within the LoL community. Gabriel “tockers” Claumann, a former player and streamer, reacted to the situation during a live stream, saying, “It’s what’s left for us, right? To mock each other for being worse in the championship of the weak. […] It seemed like an exaggerated reaction from Trymbi, he was stupid for free, I don’t know what stress he’s going through.” BueroLoL, a professional player who will compete in the 2025 LoL Challengers Circuit, commented on the situation, tweeting, “kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk MADRUGADA DA SOLOQ MALUCA” (which roughly translates to “crazy solo queue morning”). Another professional player, Bruno Augusto “Hauz” Felberge Ferreira, showed support for CarioK, saying, “Closed with CarioK, Trymbi is a goofball.”
Both teams are currently participating in the LTA Sul (League of The Americas), which is set to resume on April 5. Although the exact date and round for their upcoming matchup have not been confirmed, it’s likely to be a highly anticipated encounter given the recent tension between the two teams. As the LoL community continues to buzz with excitement and speculation, one thing is certain – the rematch between VKS and paiN Gaming will be a clash to watch.
