I was expecting Rito to hold a masters there next year but I doubt that’ll happen now. Rip
There was a CS tournament in brazil and Cloud9 won. I dont think they had a problem, people actually loved stewie2k and tarik, even before they were from mibr. I remember Yanko saying it was a different type of audience, too passionate and that he loved it.
I dont know about hiko being in brazil, though.
I only went to CS tourneys outside of brazil, people were great. IEM Katowice, people were crazy about Fallen/coldzera, I didn't imagine it, they had to walk through the event with securities because a lot of people wanted to take pictures with him, they even stopped the event flux when they were passing through.
I went to MSI in Rio, it was cool, not that full, but people actually loved seeing the asian teams. I remember several T1 fans, even R9 when to the field to talk to faker. Brazil lost really early, they had less people watching it live after this, but i did not see anyone being mistreated and the event went well.
I hope if a valo international event ever happens in Brazil, it happens at this fashion, like IEM Katowice, CS Event in Belo horizonte(sorry if i used the wrong city) or MSI Rio.
I'm not saying that people will love zombs. I'm saying that esports fans like other respectful and great players. If a tourney happened in Brazil i would like to take a picture with tenz, cned, nats, shaz... It does not matter if they win agaisnt us or not. It makes no sense to assume that brazilians are actually aggressive.
