I'm watching the games of this Rakin Cup and I'm very sad and disappointed with what I've been watching, of course it's the beginning of split and we can't take into account that the teams are at their maximum potential, but watching Gamelanders vs DESEMPREGADOS I could see how MACROGAME in Brazil is very poor, it's no use for Gamelanders to hire a lot of analysts if they keep playing Icebox without VIPER, we've seen it in Iceland. The guys have the best Raze player in the world on the team and decide to put him to play Reyna in Split, just because Sentinels plays that way, and TenZ picks Reyna for not being so good at Raze and that was an adaptation of team.. It's really sad, team decision making is really bad around here, what is QCK doing playing Killjoy now? Furia kicked one of the most talented players in the country (Teddy) to bring in an exceptional player (Mazin) as a duelist, and the guy stood out playing as Astra/Omen. The DESEMPREGADOS team really has 4 great players and a promising future, but what the fuck are they doing with Jhow on the team? Teddy and Dragonite with no team and these guys opt for Jhow? I really believe that Vikings and Sharks are going to smurf in this Challengers 3 and stomp them all, the other teams have negative IQs and can't build lineups with the best 5 players available, and they keep forming teams based on friendship, it's very frustrating, Vikings and Sharks has everything to improve, I really think they underperformed in Iceland and didn't show their true potential, but for sure Brazil is way behind in macrogame. Man, it's just not understandable, Jonn can't use skills with any agent, he uses very badly the kit of all the agents he plays, the boy spends the whole day playing Deathmatch and the only thing he knows how to do is click on the heads , this is very sad :(
Unfortunately we have to admit that Brazil really is the PUG region, the teams have good players who know how to duel but do not have well defined structure and game systems, maybe only Vikings and KRU have one, the saddest thing is that these teams think that they are in the right direction when they keep making the same mistakes and training wrongly, there was no significant improvement in Furia and Gamelanders' macrogame for what has been shown so far, after all, you can't wait long when you don't have big investments in the region, the Brazil is going through a very bad economic situation and few big companies will want to invest in our scenario, you cannot compare with NA and EU where the average salary of tier 1 teams should be 10k USD while in Brazil it is not even 1k USD, is simply that.
P.S: The real Brazilian juggernaut is Vikings with -gtn +Mwzera, Frz doesn't need to be removed from the team because he's a flex player and he's good, but he played poorly at Masters for psychological reasons.
