ending words with "in" means the same that saying "lil" in english
cauanzin = lil cauan
and what about the caps? been watching ascension and both the union and 00's roster names are in caps, have seen it also in furia
Just noticed it, but it's a Riot thing, idk why they have BR teams in caps. Most of the players in The Union, 00 and Furia don't have caps in their nicknames
It's an unformal way of saying a name in the diminutive way in portuguese, basically like "lil = little" in english.
aspaszin = lil aspas
about the ''ending with -in'', it's very common here in Brazil to give nicknames puting ''inho'' in the ending, which means something like ''little''. Ex: Cauanzin = little Cauan
''zin'' is a shorter way of saying ''inho''
in Brazil when you add ZIN to a word, you are saying its small and cute.
Basically brazilian parents tend to call their children by their name plus IN, because its an endearing way of calling them
similar to honey, sweetie, my dear, etc.
so when players put ZIN on their name, its how their family tend to call them
the english equivalent would be Sweetie Tenz, or Dear Yay, or Cutie S0m
