Who is João "SNOW" Vinicius?

At 18 years old, SNOW isn’t some overnight sensation—he’s a battle-tested prodigy who’s been grinding since childhood. Long before his breakout, he was cutting his teeth at just 14 years old on GODSENT’s academy roster, proving that even as a youngling, he belonged among Brazil’s best.

Now, after years of sharpening his skills, his moment has arrived.

From GODSENT Academy to FURIA’s Fallen Program

SNOW’s journey wasn’t linear. After his early days in GODSENT’s system, he won FURIA’s talent program in 2023, earning a career-defining opportunity: training with Brazil’s elite and even meeting his idol, FalleN. The moment was symbolic—a young gun standing face-to-face with the legend who inspired him.

2024: The Year SNOW vs Fallen

Fast forward to today, and SNOW isn’t just a hopeful talent—he’s Pain Gaming’s clutch factor, going toe-to-toe with the very players he once watched from afar. At the Shanghai Major, he faced FalleN in a full-circle moment, sharing a brief but emotional exchange mid-tournament. The student had become the rival.

Why SNOW Stands Out

• Precision & Fearlessness: His crisp aim and bold plays make him a nightmare in high-pressure rounds.
• A Veteran at 18: Unlike most rookies, he’s been in the system from a very young age
• The Next Brazilian Star? FalleN has his golden era, will the torch be passed on to SNOW to represent Brazil’s new generation.
