Long text but i was also waiting for a long time to post this
For 1 year i've been talking with friends and seeing other people talk on Social Media about the BR scene.
I always said the we were weak and had no chance of competing against major regions and that the best way to improving was to admit that.
If you look at BR top 100 ranked leaderboards it was always a bunch of tier 3, streamers and random players/kids. The pro teams were all formed by friends, players that nobody knew before and people that constatly underperforms and shoul've not even be there. This was a fact, and yet people choose to overhype everyone based on 1 or 2 players performances.
At reykjavik hype was over the roof, but after the games everyone could see that we were not ready. But it wasn't enough.
At berlin 3, there was less hype but still people believing and saying the we would at least reach the playoffs. We all saw what happened but it wasn't enough.
And now at Champions, there was still people hyping and thinking that we could win against any team that is not EU/NA and overlooking another regions, after 1/2 good games, the hype got insane and people comparing us to EMEA region and saying we could even win the whole Champions before even reaching the playoffs yet lol
Is it enough now to admit our region is "shit"? it is 2021 and people still counting of victories before the game actually happens. If that is not the wake up call BR needed, idk what will make people realize we are bad.
Feels bad for the players that gave it all, but now everyone can actually see that our Valorant competitive is weak and stop that dumb hype every time and maybe we can stop being a joke. BR got humbled today.
If you still thinking we lose because of riot's or whatever the f* excuses you want give, i have a bad notice for you..
I expect to see big rosters changes, and mainly a different posture and mentality, from teams, orgs and community.
Tell me what u think, peace
