That's exactly what I said, Plato.

Argentines don't root for us, much less for Loud... It's not even necessary to ask. In Brazil, there are different cultures, but everyone is Brazilian and speaks the same language, just like in the United States. You don't have to be racist or judge someone just because you don't want to root for teams with players from other countries who don't even speak your language. You're not racist for not rooting for DRX or T1, for example...

It's not about race, you animal. That's why there are different Arab countries and not a single country called "Union of Arab Countries". I can have Chinese ancestry and be born and live in Brazil and I will have Brazilian nationality, not Chinese, you fool.

It's not about xenophobia, it's about different emotions: rooting for 5 people from your own country is different from rooting for 5 foreigners from different countries, but who are from the same continent. For example, the feeling of rooting for Sentinels is not the same as before, according to some Americans. When 2k and Tarik joined to complete a team that was previously composed of 5 Brazilians, many began to not care if the team lost - it wasn't like before. I see many Europeans pretending not to care about it by saying that we are nationalists, but this argument seems to be used as a facade for the lack of a team to be "nationalistic" about.

I want you to root for your country to do well enough in esports.

In theory. In practice, Canadians don't have their own team and most of the teams are composed of 5 Americans.

The French, Germans, Italians, and many other European countries are like that. If you root for a region and for foreigners within the same continent, admit it and say out loud: "Okay, my country is weak in any esports, so I have to root for a team made up of players from other countries and pretend that I'm not a nationalist."

"EMEA COME"

You have NA teams to root for, just like Brazilians, Koreans, Russians, etc...

By the example you gave, would it be enough to travel to Asia and make friends there to be able to root for an Asian team? They are just as foreign as the Europeans you root for - different language, different country, different culture.

No man, the pattern I'm talking about is having 5 players from different countries on the same team... It's something observable in several European teams. And from the responses, I've come to the conclusion that most of you root for a region and for foreigners from the same continent, rather than for your own country.

And I don't even need to know, race was never brought into question.

I didn't say you didn't answer, I just wanted to reinforce that it's not offensive. It's an observable pattern.

You don't need to be of the same race, and I'm not even talking about that. I'm referring to rooting for people of other nationalities, different cultures, and who speak a different language than yours. And no, it's not offensive.

Not, it's not offensive. It's a question that you can answer rationally.

Loud won with only one foreign player, Saadhak. European teams are often formed with 5 players each from a different country and speaking different languages. I don't see a German who only speaks German, for example, opening the livestream of an esports event where EMEA is playing, to cheer for 5 foreigners...

But these teams need to have a majority of players from the country of the team. This comparison only reinforces my point. While there are European teams with 5 players, each one from a different country. PSG cannot have less than 6-7 French players.

Good, so you admit that you root for a region, not for your country or for people who speak your language, right?

That wasn't an attack, unless you take it as an insult, and if it's insulting, why is it insulting? Is it because it's bad?

What's it like rooting for people who aren't from your home country and don't even speak your language? Have any of you ever had the feeling (except for Sweden and Denmark in CS) of having a team win something (with players from your own country)??? NA, BR, KR, Russia, and other regions experience this wonderful feeling almost every year, but what's it like having to root for foreigners?

Ok, that doesn't change anything I said... A Brazilian who roots for Sentinels doesn't root the same way as they would for a team of 5 Brazilians.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Poor guys, they root for teams that don't even speak Spanish. They will never know what it's like to have a Spanish team win something.

You don't even have a Valorant team, you cheer for people who don't even speak Spanish. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

It doesn't matter, what's important is that you tell me who the greatest football champion is. You don't know, or don't have enough knowledge to know?

I really like football, we could talk about it 24/7 as far as I'm concerned. Kekw.

Do you like football? Then tell me, who is the greatest champion?

Do you like football? Then tell me, who is the greatest champion?

Spain in any esports: kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

More views than the official broadcast. Kekw

No. South America / Latam has different language and culture from Brazil. We are in the same region, but we don't identify with them. It's like assuming that the Nordics identify with those who live in Eastern Europe.

Sao Paulo looks like a motherboard with so many buildings, what an ugly city, there isn't a single tree.

Everyone is saying there's no chance, but Loud is BY FAR the most prepared Brazilian organization that has ever stepped into an MSI. They deserve credit and if G2 underestimates them, they will lose.

The Lichess rating is somewhat inflated, 2200 there is equivalent to 2000 on Chess.com...

6/8

LMAO

They only play seriously when they are threatened with losing, always like that

Maybe, It depends on Tuyz

Aspas = 1 champions
cNed = 0 champions

That's all that matters.

This is annoying, the team only starts waking up in the middle of the game. It's a problem that big teams can exploit

Just like against EG

Always

They will win at least one map, then Loud wakes up and scores 13-1 and 13-2.

NA: Dephh
EMEA: I don't know any player from this region.
APAC: I don't know any player from this region.

I think there's going to be another 13-0

I agree, the weaker the opponent in the playoffs, the better.

Everyone knows they don't follow the standards of a minimally normal crowd, but apparently even the event organization is terrible since they couldn't solve this issue.

You're asking too many questions, just bet on Sentinels winning 2-1 and thank me later.

I am a free man, the breach of contract is caused only if I provide information that would result in a million-dollar loss to the company. I know that there are no millionaire bettors here, so the companies will never become aware of the information I just leaked.

I made a deal with betting companies for them to pay me monthly, in exchange for not placing any bets and they can continue to be a healthy company, without owing millions to a bettor (me) who would theoretically always win.

They're going to lose 2-1 to the Sentinels. This is not an opinion. I was able to access a portal to the future for 0.29 seconds and got access to this information... To the bettors, thank me later.
