of course not because i didn't watch brazil. i only watched NA, EU and KR back then
See? And i didnt watch NA. so being "culturally significant" is something very relative to individual experiences especially in a time when the regions were all divided
For you, V1 was culturally significant
For me, I don't even remember them
For me, teams like Keyd Stars, Sharks, Jaguares, old FURIA, SLICK, GameLanders were all culturally significant
For you, you probably dont remember or dont know them at all and its okay
And just because V1 attended a Masters it doesnt automatically mean that they were memorable for absolutely everyone. I probably didnt even watched their games, as I only cared to watch teams I would root for back then
(I made a quick check here and V1 only played 4 games against 2 EU teams and 2 Asian teams at Masters, so it makes sense I dont remember them)
