these replies are too funny 😂
i got this part, i just don't think hate optic for that. maybe a frenemy relation? idk. there are weird people lol. i respect them a lot.m, but can't say the rest. i think most brazilians support LATAM because we got each other's back and we are finally leaving behind fans rivalry (players from both regions have been friends for a long time, except keznit and dgzin)
We don't hate any of ex-optic players, we cheered againt them just for fun since they had a rivalry with LOUD, but we do respect them a lot (some BR hate them, but actually it don't make any sense)
We're just mocking ardiis cuz of his statements about Ryotzz leaking VODs when they lost to LOUD at LOCK//IN... It's not necessarily a HATE, but he just spitted out false info about an Brazilian player and didn't even apologize, so "Zuera never ends"
I now get that, hopefully you get why it looks like you "hate" them when you cheer for a eu team instead of a team you respect. but I also get the cheering vs them because if giants won that game, LOUD would get an easier match. maybe if the bracket was different you guys would actually cheer for them. hopefully the NRG players can see that too.
When NRG won both matchs we stopped booing them and clapped... it just stay at the game, out of it, we respect who respect us... Most of ppl here likes them (the RIOT and LOUD docs about the international events showed how much LOUD and OPTC players respect each other) and they treated our players really well in all of them
But ardiis was not at OPTC, so, he never had our total respect, and after Ryotzz case, we lost any minimal respect for him due to not even apologizing
the ardiis thing I totally get.
I just remember watching a watchparty for the NRG games and I remember someone (maybe tarik i think?? i hop between streams a lot) "damn they really dont like NRG" "Is it because of the LOUD rivalry?" so I just remembered that so thats why I thought you guys just straight up hated NRG.
death threats when you are in LA and they can't touch you is fine. shitty, but fine.
death threats when you stuck in brazil for VCT aren't, there is enough lunatics to sneak to your hotel/pass security/whatever. a lot of players(derke included) said they felt uncomfy in brazil and just wanted to get the fuck out.
