South Americans Come

If you're from Latin America, do you support Brazil against North American teams? Similarly, vice versa for Brazilians fans? Or would you rather neither win?

Fair enough. Really hate it when there's just one player who makes it impossible to support the roster as a whole.

i personally do
people have a complicated relationship with kru because they forgot is not only keznit on the team
i really like shyy and melser for example
although i would rather have BR teams/players i will be cheering for latam when they're not there

not for being americas, no. it depends. there are teams i like because i gained sympathy for them (Sen because of Sacy), others because i like watching them play, others because of good memories and rivalries (optic/fnatic core). overall i just like watching valorant and dont really cheer for anyone when there isn't BR on the game (with a few exceptions mentioned)

Makes total sense. That's usually the same philosophy I have if there aren't any Korean teams!

I kinda do, but the whole keznit thing still bugs me, but i would rather adverso, shyy, melser and mazino win than an NA team

i think that keznit thing is just shit, both players (dgz and keznit) did the things wrongs, dgz insult mazino first and keznit defend him
and why hold a grudge when not even the players themselves hate each other?

DG does not like KRU bud go watch LOUD's vlog vid on matchday vs KRU, and insulting vs being racist are 2 entirely different things

why you say "dg does not like kru" that's irrevelant, i never mentioned that dgz likes kru
and dgz said "lerdo" what means like be retarded or slow

it means slow not retarded and u lit said the players dont hold a grudge and im telling u that the dg who keznit said racist shit to does not like the KRU team he does infact hold a grudge and again calling someone slow and being racist is very different idk why we're trying to downgrade racism but for me it does not make it ok to support KRU

Calling someone slow and being racist are the exact same stuff in my opinion.

You are being a shitty person to another human. That's it.

Dgz started the bad mouthing in a scream against Mazino, Keznit called him a bandit, GL's coach started calling Keznit fat. He got mad.

Keznit was an asshole for calling him CJ? Sure. Dgzin and his staff? They too. Grow up.

yeah a generalized insult that can relate to what their doing vs attacking someone's identity with stigmas and stereotypes abt their race are the exact same thing. Like be fkn fr you can make excuses for him all you want man it doesn't change the fact he was and is a shit human being. It is and never will be the same one is something you apologize and move on because you're insulting one person the other is you being an asshole to an entire group of people and showing your bigotry and the way you think about them. you need to grow the fuck up buddy. You sound like a 13yr trying to be edgy saying racism ain't a big deal.

ngl i wanted SA to do better this year and so far i´ve gotten more than i wanted with loud kru and mibr playing this well, also tier 2 SA is looking very strong specially latam because it got a lot of BR reinforcements that have a lot of talent like snwzin blow and ghoul

I support teams in the following order:

KRÜ-MiBR-LEV-Loud-FUR-2G

I mean, MiBR has as many South American players as LEV and BR has historically been SA's training partner.

Our cultures are so similar that BR is, in fact, a part of LATAM, but Riot split the regions.

they split it because of language not necesarily other reasons tho

I only meant that in-game the regions are split in BR, North and South LATAM, while IRL the three are one region. Maybe it came out wrong due to how I phrased it.

We do support SA teams in Sports and Esports.
But the racist thing with Kru makes things harder for us to cheer for they.
In generall, we support SA, exception to Argentina teams bc they call us monkey, we cheer against they, but most of times we ignore this fact and support they.

Yes, first I support KRÜ, then any Brazilian team and then any Americas team if there is no south america left playing.

i actually like kru, even with the dgzin x keznit beef... so my priority would be:

loud>mibr>2game>furia (almost giving up tbh)

then kru>lev

then prx just cuz i like them

and THEN the rest of americas, i will support them against other regions :)

Yes, because NA is MUCH toxic against BR. So KRU > NA (Lev is emea for me.)

On these occasions I would support KRU if keznit gets rid of its old problems, other than that I like their team, but LEV is no longer a SA team, I see no reason to support them.

he already apologized a long time ago and he seemed repentant. there is no longer that problem between dgz and keznit, but obviously there will always be tension
