how will they ensure safety for players like fns and keznit?
Vlr user when millions of foreigners as well as world renowned celebrities (athletes) with hundreds of thousands of haters go to Brazil for the Olympics and the World Cup, which are thousands of times bigger than Valorant esports: I sleep
Vlr users when not even 10,000 nerds attend a video game lan: real shit
"According to investigations, Guilherme got in touch with Sol over the internet after CoD: Mobile matches. Pretending friendship, the criminal lured the young player to his house, already premeditating the murder weeks in advance. Showing clear signs of coldness, he confessed his steps to the police, as well as ties to a hate group on the web. He also sent a PDF where he leaves hateful messages against Christians and makes a nod to terrorism."
Does he look like a normal guy to you? Crazy people exist in every country.
If players don't go to strange places and don't go around showing cell phones and watches, probably nothing will happen.
Here are the 10 countries with the highest homicide rates:

Actually they don't need to, because this is a really good way to show ppl around this forums how wrong they are thinking that some '3rd world' countries actually are not what some TV programs/internet videos shows them
We have our internal political issues (as every country itw has their own), but it's not like we are neanderthals or wild animals to not know how to ensure some players physical integrity, or make an AWSOME and coordinated organization to host the biggest event in esports history so far
Actually, you're right it didn't get worse and should stay up. For people who actually think like his original statement.
And I'm like 99% sure @Pakijudge is baiting. Maybe the thread was made as a joke but quickly turned into bait with his replies to the people. He is absolutely not serious right now, I'm sure of it. Just look at what he's saying LMFAO
The event will be great and nothing will happen with the players, it's safe like other big cities around the globe.
That being said, I don't mind throwing punches in some of you xenophobic fucks, all with consent of course, so if you think Brazil is a huge slum and you would like to lose some teeth, DM me
For the sake of my sanity, I prefer to think that the person who wrote this had no intention of being xenophobic. I often see NA and EMEA community being toxic and agressive towards players, but no one has ever questioned their safety. Sure, Brazil has it problems just like other countries but that does not give any of you the right to to stereotype us as monsters.
Our problem with Keznit is that he was racist towards two brazilians players, but when he came to São Paulo to play LCQ nothing happened with him. We even had an audience and everything.
I don't think our community hates FNS like you're trying to picture. Some people dislikes him bcuz of his CS days and bcuz he said at Masters Reykjavík LOUD players were shit, but if you see the comments of his most recent tweet (https://twitter.com/FNS/status/1570079864798978052) you'll realize most of brazilians are being nice towards him.
We have both Saadhak from LOUD and NZR from Furia who are argentinian and they were well received by the whole community. Also, I'm not a League of Legends fan, but I do know brazilians teams have foreign players (most koreans, I guess) and no one has ever physically hurt them -- I often see these players praising how passionate and loud we are. That said, I advise you to search before talk shit :)
I'm not saying our community isn't toxic or rude sometimes, but that doesn't give you the right to stereotype us like we're savages. NA, LATAM and EMEA are often racist towards us (twitch chat's a big exemple), but we NEVER questioned our players safety in their country. This shit is disrespectful as fuck.
