GotFrag's head of Latin American coverage, Augusto Zapata Delgado, takes a look back at the Brazil Cup 2 and interviews g3x's Alexandre "gAuLeS" Chiqueta.


Brazil - The second edition of the Brazil Cup that took place in the Oxygen Electronics Sports - Centro de Conveniencia Digital Center, had SteelSeries as the main sponsor of the event. The event had many qualifiers throughout the country, reaching a total of 26 teams between the squads that were directly invited and the squads that qualified. However, one of the great absences in this Brazil Cup 2 was Made in Brazil. The raining ESWC champion was unable to attend due to personal reasons of one of their players, Bruno "brunO" Ono. With one of Brazil's top competitors out of the event, and some of the qualified teams canceling their trip due to various personal reasons, the seeds for the tournament were the following:

One of the most exciting moments leading up to the tournament was when the T420 squad announced that their lineup for the Brazil Cup 2 event would be MiBR's old lineup of eduzin, pava, corassa. pred, and KIKOOO. However, to much of the crowd's disappointment, T420 was eliminated in the first round. You can see the updated T420 roster here.

The final standings for the event, together with the prizes achieved by each team were the following:
1st: g3nerationX - 5 SteelSound 5Hv2 + 5 SteelPad S&S solo + R$900
2nd: exotic.br - 5 SteelSound 4H + 5 SteelPad QcK heavy + R$450
3rd: Group Of Six - 5 SteelSound 3H + 5 SteelPad Qck + R$250
4th: PlayArt - 5 Edifier Headsets
