I'm excited about Brazil's future at Valorant, NIP has just landed and the biggest fan base organization in the country, LOUD, will also have a lineup. Maybe Pain, Team One, and Imperial will return next year, so the Brazilian scene will professionalize as a whole.
I also believe that there will be a massive migration of LATAM players to Brazil in order to have better salaries and playing conditions, like Australs players, 9z, Meta Gaming, Wygers, 6Karma, Infinity, Lazer, etc, and maybe NIP can hire a KRU player (Klaus or Mazino).
I heard some rumors that Dignitas was interested in investing in Brazil and I had commented here before, they already have “Showliana” in the American female cast and “Pava” as the organization's streamer, which is a Brazilian MIBR legend in CS 1.6. I saw that you guys posted that it would be interesting for Immortals to move to Brazil and that's possible, because when Cogu was Coaching the MIBR CSGO lineup in late 2020, MIBR CEO “Yurifly” offered him a lineup from Valorant but Cogu didn't want to, so later Immortals decided to have a team in NA and couldn't reap good results so far, MIBR Valorant and Dignitas Valorant would be HUGE for the Brazilian scene as well as NIP.
So next year the TIER 1 organizations in Brazil would be as follows:
- Ninjas in Pyjamas
- LOUD
- FURIA
- Havan Liberty
- Vivo Keyd
- Team One
- Sharks
- Dignitas (Rumor)
- Rensga (Rumor)
- Imperial (Rumor)
- Pain Gaming (Rumor)
- MIBR (There is a possibility after NIP movement)
TIER 2:
- Gamelanders
- Team Vikings
- Stars Horizon
- Highpower
- Portuguesa
I will use this thread to update you guys about the transfer list because I'm too lazy to make another one.
Edit 1:
- Team Liquid signed a pre-contract with Gamelanders Purple and they will be the female lineup in Brazil.
- NIP is very close to closing a contract with Aspas, the organization's idea is to keep him as the center of the project, there are two other players who are in this Champions who will also be part of the project after the tournament, NIP will still choose who will be the last 2.
- Mwzera has a contract with Gamelanders until the end of 2022, so his fine is the highest in Brazil at the moment, it is unlikely that Vivo Keyd will have the money to buy him after Champions, they can agree to keep Mwzera until the end of the contract as with TenZ, but it will be expensive.
