They're still just a Brazilian team. They're still two roster changes away from being relevant.

They can win one game, Chad, because they're playing FURIA in the quarterfinal, and then it's the winner of Spirit and IP. So they cannot beat Spirit. It's just that, you know, their ceiling is the same as Shanghai, right? Like, they can win a best-of-one if someone has a live game like Insani did on that Inferno and they beat Na'Vi, right? And that's pretty much it.

They're not going to do any significant damage in best-of-threes. They're not going to make the playoffs, right? It's just going to be more of the same. Like, it's just too many average players on these teams. Who can all have moments, but, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. They cannot consistently perform on a high level and probably not at the same time.

There's just too many teams that are just better. And all these teams, no one plays some different sort of brand on Counter-Strike to try to make up for the lack of those players. They all just try to play the same way and it's not going to be successful. I wouldn't put them going from Stage 2 to Stage 3.

Yeah. Well, also, I mean... I'm going to probably have Brazilian teams at 0-3 in every fucking stage that I can put it.

I just can't anymore. I just can't anymore, man. Calling his shots ahead of time. I just can't anymore. At least the Asian teams, at least the Chinese come up with something. At least there's something there when you watch them. Even a pop-off or anything. Brazilians, it's nothing. They've become the most boring region to watch. Can you imagine saying that a couple of years ago?
