VK have the best squad ever from BR (heat + mwzera)
VKS are literally in the most free group ever
RIP Furia tho
heat is crazy for sure, so VK have a definite chance.
VKS on the other hand, hasn't played for almost 5 months, so who the fuck knows how they will do. At least X10 and Secret participated in minor tourneys so there's a decent enough grasp of them, but Vikings don't have the same luxury.
Furia got unlucky with seeding.
BR region still lack of talents, mainly for roles that are not dueslist.
Most teams are a star player + "friends", no disrespect. Most of them would be T2 or T3 if you compare with europe/na, real t1 talents are maybe:
VK: heat + mwzera
VKS: Sacy and maybe saadhak
FURIA: Nozwer
what is funny 2 of the best Brazil players are actually from Argentina.
The potential is there but rn the region looks weak and there's a lot to improve.
We need huge roster shuffles. In a way that we eliminate the friends to tier 3 and put everyone that counts in 1 or 2 teams. I hope NIP is enough incentive for them to join a team not because of friends, but because of their true potential.
Maybe we can even change great duelists to other positions, like VK did with Mwzera and create a super stacked team. In the beginning the new team would probably suck, but great players always know how to reinvent themselves.
Yeah i agree 100%, there always have been a culture of making teams by affinity with other players rathan than by skillwise. Gamelanders was a good example of people who were friends before VAL came out and they succeed in the beggining, but now that the game is 1 year old and we have a better insight on the BR scene, i think it is time to start drastically changing rosters and focus on forming stronger teams that can compete at international level.
