he’s lowkey a perfect fit for mibr
nzr wasn’t calling anymore and he couldn’t shoot back so removing him makes sense
and verno doesn’t talk anyway so language barrier won’t be an issue
Oh yeah I forgot artzin spoke good english I've heard him comm while playing NA ranked. I haven't heard xenom but cortezia's english honestly sounds broken asf. I think everyone will have an ok time understanding his english except for verno but yeah it probably does make the calls worse. I wonder if the decision was partly made because their igl was one of the only players who is fluent in english
#1 Artzin - Better Portuguese than English
#2 Aspas - Better Portuguese than English
#3 Xenom - Better Portuguese than English
#4 Cortezia - Better Portuguese than English
If the team switch to english it's a lose for the soul of the team, I could accept one import but this would open the door to every windows
And they deserve to be unfranchised to stop represent the region they were hire to represent, because long term wise this is catastrophic.
Faria said something really important : "Adding more team will make jsut the slice smaller and not make the cake biggger", the only thing that make the cake bigger is representation, you want more people buy skin ? Make everyone feel represented, give OCE a spot, and let LA and BR keep some slot. They will be always a winner of Americas that will sell more, but if tomorrow every Americas team switch to english, it will just obliterate the sense of belonging and the national rivalries and destroy the league in the long term, no team should accept to sacrifice the sake of their region for the long term in order to increase slightely their chance to win a trophy in short term. Shortermist is what destroy everything todays
I agree with you, but this MIBR was very out of nowhere and I dont think they would search for brazilian players. Aspas only accepted cortezia and xenom because they were Sacy's recommendations and frod insisted to Aspas that artzin was good.
Brazilian valorant history only really found success with the LOUD 2022 squad and the players who played with them, so right now its hard to find new talent. Also there would be a lot the classic very possible VISA issues of signing a brazilian player in the middle of the season, so i understand why they're testing NA players. I just hope its only 1 import and the team remains brazilian so it doesnt turn into a LEV situation
