They did nothing in Iceland and Berlin wtff also same spots with Na and Eu (expect berlin winner ) champions wont be good
KRU only won against SHK and VK. VK had a close match even with heat playing what was literally the worst match of his career, and keznit the match of his life.
And tbh 9z wouldn't even beat SHK in the LCQ. SHK had a really close match against australs and is not even top 5 in brazil anymore... even GL put on a better match against furia than Australs did, and GL is like top 4-5 of brazil, australs is top 2 latam.
eu penso que 9z teria perderia contra sharks também mas estou dizendo que 9z teria venceria contra HL, e sharks tiveram uma partida acirrado contra a furia também. e insinuar que gamelanders são melhores que australs porque eles lutam melhor contra a furia é ignorar completamente o fato que os australs venceram a furia na fase de grupos
I feel like one of the Br spots would be better used for a team from Kr or Jp. Granted brazil had unlucky groups with Havan Liberty being with Gambit & 100T, as well as Vivo Keyd with ENVY and KRU. I just don't feel like the Brazilian scene has the same hype and talent that the Korean or Japanese scene does. I feel like NORTHEPTON or Nuturn deserve the spot more. Maybe FURIA will prove me wrong with the dominant 3-0 win over Australs (one of the strongest LATAM teams currently) and they will show how brazil really is at the international level.
I relate to this frustration of having 3 BR teams at Champions, but I also understand the reason Riot made that choice. Considering the lack of international competition before VCT 2021 was announced, it would be unfair to determine regions strength solely on the "eye test", so Riot gave the Champions slots considering viewership, historic, investment etc.
