Just so people know, Brazil dominated so much on Rainbow 6 that the final and semi-finals were only brazilian teams.

It's not entirely true we don't have internet access in Brazil. Most people have but not exactly high speed. Many people have a PC or notebook, but not for gaming purposes. What people have here is passion on what they do. I grew up playing videogames usually at a friend's house. Only as an young adult making my own money I was able to have a PC with a dedicated GPU. It wasn't state of the art hardware but I had fun playing when I was back from college.

“Access to internet and computers is rare” certified bruh american moment

Uma coisa que ele não comenta no vídeo mas acho que vale destacar, CS era muuuito popular na época não só por causa das lan house mas pela facilidade de se conseguir uma cópia pirata. Sempre tinha alguém na sua sala que conseguia te arrumar um. E qualquer pc conseguia rodar.

it’s because we live in a fps everyday

"Access to internet and computers is rare” Jesus man, almost 81% of the population here has broadband access to the Internet, 152 million people. Brazil is the 3rd country in social media access, and 2nd for streaming media. We definitely home some huge problems to sort out here, but you should get your facts together asap.

Gaules deserves an episode for himself, his story is harsh and motivational. He became a symbol for brazilian scene and his achievements were deserved. A tribo ta junto sempre.

As a brazilian, i need to say FALLEN IS OUR HERO.

Didn’t realize how important fallen was to Brazil, I only knew him as a good Awper.

access to internet and home computers are not rare as you said in the video. surely there are poorer regions where this happens more often, but that also applies to the US. it's very uncommon to not have internet/wifi, even in the most remote and rural areas

I just wanted to say thanks to Daniel and all the TheScore esports team from bringing this topic up, we know that Brazil isn't the most beloved community (expecially with north america) but we do have a beautiful history none other then less, so thanks again for using your platform to talk about us and thanks for doing something that shows what we are capable of :)

Much proud of my brazilian brothers! here in DR and in most of LATAM we know the struggle too well. The 30fps laptop on the free public wifi set up is where latam legends are born.

2:31 - According to a simple google research 81% of Brazilians have internet access at their homes. another research says Brazil has over 440 million digital devices, wich comprises computers, notebooks, mobile phones and tablets. Saying that in Brazil having internet access and computers is rare is an absolute joke, We don't live in the jungle nor are we savages.

Just a small correction: back in the 2000's internet and home computers were rare, nowadays is not that rare (although in homes without a gamer person, the quality of those two tend to be low), only places with high levels of poverty doesn't have those two things. Anyway, great video, I love to see my region getting some love!

The fact that they built a system to train new players and find talents is Giga Brian

When you talk about Brazilian FPS Scene, you HAVE to talk about MIBR's 2006 ESWC win in cs 1.6 (which is considered a major championship), specially when Lincoln "FnX" Lau was in that line up and in the 2x major winner line up in cs go. Mibr and G3x were both legendary teams in Brazil, competing and winning big international tournaments like CPL, ESWC and WCG. Those 2 teams were the ones that inspired 2 generations of players here to try to become pro players.

I just hope brazill can keep the positive aspect of being energetic and patriotic about esports. In sports and esports the patriotic regions are either the best or worst in terms of fanbase. I say this as a european BTW, I would know.

Man, I was so excited for ESL ONE: RIO when it was announced. Unfortunately covid happened. I was so hype when I heard about a cs major happening in Brazil.

2:05 this round with Kix and Interro screaming "noooo way"... it still gives me goosebumps

"Access to internet is rare" Me living in the countryside paying 20 bucks for highspeed fiber: of course

Colzera might be the goat of brazilian cs But Fallen created the brazialian scene

Brazil's underdog story in cs better than NA's.

I've never played CSGO before, but I had to watch this cuz I knew this video was gonna be so damn interesting. Y'all make such great content. Thank you all!

By official statistics, 75% of the people have access to internet. So internet is not a rare. Desktop computers are not so common though, but I would not call it a rare too. Many people play fps in low end laptops.

Brazil in any sport. Flashy and powerful. Speed and skill. Raw talent.

Really great content, dude! Although the structure is not as precarious as you showed, thats a good story! We have a serious problem with accessing game-oriented equipment due to the devaluation of our currency, but we have managed to do great things with the equipment we have. We hope to continue doing more and more!

2:02 hearing Kixstar cast again bro. RIP Kix

"how a country with few access to computers got so good at CS?" Curiously it was exactly because of it, through the 2000-2010 few people got access to computers, but everyone needed it, to print curriculuns, invoices, documents, search things on the internet and etc, then a major boom of internet cafes, the demand for internet cafes was because people really needed it, then they installed CS on their computers, kids got addicted, and brazilians are really competitive people, like in a toxic way, the average brazilian love to boast and ridicularize the competidor who lost, theres even popular songs about it, then the ownres of internet cafes had an idea, no father, or adult would come to an internet cafe after 10pm to print documents or search in the internet, so they said to the kids "if you reunite 10 friends, paying 10$ each one, you guys can use all the computers through the whole evening", the kids called it " fazer corujão/making big owl", 5-10 kids playing CS shoulder by shoulder the whole night, and the kids really had the drive to win and banther their friends camping, or waiting in strategic place to shoot was considered low honor level, pussy play, so they were incentivized to run and shot everyone with sheer reflexes, the scene was so god damn competitive and aggressive that i never had the nerv to enter it, i never even played CS in brazil

former cs 1.6 player here. I've never even heard the name Fallen by the time I've played. the cs 1.6 scene was VERY big in Brazil with 3 teams: GC, g3x and Mibr. Kiko and Cogu were the most successful players but a lot of guys like fnx, btt, pava and Gaulês, who became the succesful streamer later, were among players that everyone knew. this is not to demean Fallen in any manner. just goes to show that there was a lot going before him. Classic Mibr even won an international tournment once (eswc I guess) but in Brazil it was known that despite how ignored most guys got by europeans, a guy like Cogu was among the best, if he wasn't the best awper in the world! a guy like Pava was among the best, if wasn't the best Usp shooter in the world aswell. we really guessed what it would be like if we could practice daily not with 50/60 ping, but could, as swedes, finns etc. play with a lan-ping at home. I guess teams like liquid and Furia showed us that we were right to guess.

"The Truth Behind Brazil's FPS Dominance" is pursuing something that gives you escapism and a chance for a good life! That's it!

My guy spoke about Brazil like we fight dinosaurs in the streets to get to a pc with internet.

most brazilian homes have access to a internet device (not saying its the best quality), hardware is the most expesinve thing to have here, high taxes, low income...

Não tem como falar do cs brasileiro sem mencionar o fallen maluco e mt foda

We actually do have hardware and internet available, I could say 80% of the people at least have smartphones with basic internet access, what we don't have is top of the line resources but we do the most with what we have, playing at 40fps with no gpu people in here do their best and we MUST appreciate that! thanks for the representation and the video theScore!

as a brazilian, thanks a lot for this video. Means a lot. Fallen is our hero, such as gaules who is a very important person for our scene as well

"country where access to internet and home computers is rare" come on bro, we're not that poor.

Loved the video! We appreciate you taking your time to talk about our fps scene. It's exactly how Zews described it, if there's a brazilian competing, we are rooting for him, no matter the sport. Our core is coming back with Imperial! I hope they do well. It's gonna be tough.

Thank you for making this video! For some reason, Brazil is very looked down upon in the Esports community, every single Brazilian can tell you that they have already suffered from racism and prejudice in the Esports landscape, and that can be really demotivating to any future Br esports athlete, so it's very nice to see someone actually recognizing Brazil's achievements

I'm so happy too see this kind of content, really warms the heart! Thx guys

salute to you mr. Fallen sir....keeping the game alive and nurturing players to represent the country all by yourself....big respect! BIG Respect!

A good video, but man, you should talk more about MIBR in 1.6 era, how hard was to raise from nothing to glory in CSGO, and also giving more details of Gamers Academy and Gamers Club, aka GC, which is biggest prive server in SA

I’m sending this to my gf even though she doesn’t like esports that much, just Brazilian pride

You managed to summarize our fps scenario very well. Great video!

SUUCH A GOOD VIDEO!! Thanks for that, it trully means a lot when we see our history being recognized like that. Specially in the last 4 years the situation of the country is SO shit (economically and polically too), that our passion for Esports is really a way to distract for a lot of us, and knowing that we could achieve so much (and will achieve much more) even through such a difficult time, just makes our love for the scene grow even more!

I'd love to see an eSports scene developed here in Malawi 🇲🇼

Make a Brazilian content and receive the likes it's simple ! haha But it's really special for us, when someone recognize our conquests, cause only who lives in here knows how hard it is to make anything here and yes a lot of guys plays fps all day, the servers here are really tough.

Thank you for doing this video! Loved that

thanks for making this videor, our community had and will have ups and downs, but we love video games, and specially fps, for real this video made me cry hahahaha, but in a good way, we are proud of what we already achievied and we dream about what we can still achieve, see you guys on a major here in our country soon ❤

O Brasil vai voltar ao topo novamente!

Ah yes, the famous Brazil Jungle where PCs and internet are rare. Who tf did this research?

Thank you for the narration and positive message. Even though I was completely unaware of these developments in my own country, it still brought me some joy and pride in my countrymen to come to know of them, and I am sure a great deal of it is due to the top tier narration of the events, and especially the message at the end. Thank you very much! Sorry for my previous, derailing, comment. It is relatively tainted by politics, even though the political part of it is somewhat easy to avoid and ignore due to the TL; DR. Since the previous one is very much soured, I wanted to make another one for a more positive message.

it's so cool when you start to realize you're understanding the video without subtitles (a brazilian guy)

The brazilian team Loud won the Valorant Champions yesterday too.

I'm an Aussie and I have NEVER had a negative opinion of Brazil and it's people. The ones I've met have been the SINGLE NICEST people I know

Love you video mate ❤️ very emotional 😭

Wow, I was not expecting coming home to this video. Thank you, The Score team. Feelsgoodman

Man. Miss the prime Coldzera era. Such insane plays from him and also other players like Niko etc.. .

Cogu is insane in 1.6 cs. He win 1 major and have high rating in 1.6

Brazilian fandom is known for its passion not only in sports. Bands and singers many times say Brazil has their most passionate fans. Brazilian nerds are a whole nother level too, our comic con is the biggest in the world.

Great video. I cried in the end!

" *Access to internet and computer is rare* " - Just no! You're talking rubbish. I'm very poor and my internet connection is 350 mpbs and 180 mbps upload just for contextualization. Anyone that is not one step away from becoming homeless can afford internet connection and they are available everywhere, perhaps not far away rural areas but i presume that is the same case for rich countries.

The score content is simply amazing. Thank you Brazil for producing some of the most exciting players to have graced an FPS

I m getting more and more into Brasilian csgo. So many great players and teams.

Fantastic video, thanks Devin!

I love that every time someone talks about Brazil they have to show some favelas. Also the slums are less than 10% of the country's population not 90% as the media portrait and btw internet connection is quite widespread. Also, don't forget that we won a major in 2006 with mibr. They were way more important than SK/LG era.

"FPS dominance" Points out a finger to PaiN and Shark gaming, 2021 pgl major.

Awesome story. Love it perfect portrayal

Thanks for this video. I love your chanel

this video made me cry so much, omfg

“Access to internet and computers is rare” You really think we live in the jungle and we do spinning balls like Blanka, right?

Congratulations man, that was an script worthy of applause, it reminded me of a Brazilian channel that covers fighting games mostly, and also has incredibly well written scripts like this one, it's called O Punho do Dragão Esports (Fist of Dragon Esports), so once again thank you for your attention with the Brazilian scene and a big hug!

Great video!

Thanks for the video, is rare to Brazil be recognized by big english speaking channels. But again Brazil being roasted by mislead information and stereotypes like the “Access to internet and computers is rare” which is false, since about 70M Brazilians access internet through PC, that's 12 times Denmark population, also the "favelas is one of first things to come in mind when you think of Brazil" which is also a super stereotype since 8% of Brazil population lives in the favelas..

Petição pra eles fazerem um vídeo sobre o Gaules 🤝

i saw this counterstrike thing born in brazil im 35, i used to play with Raphael “cogu” Camargo when i was (also he was) a teenager. a few year latter cogu became the first pro player in brazil that was signed with a pro team outside brazil with guess who? Fallen(for me it was only Gabriel) it was CRAZY i started playing CS when it was on beta version (beta 0.4), back on that time we need to go to korean internet cafés, with koren computers, nothing in portuguese. i was the only non korean playing in that place (there is a huge korean colony in brazil). good old times

Que video foda PQP, that was amazing guys, thank you for this video.

access to internet and home computer is not rare at all in brazil, wellll, that was on the 2000's in which the SK, LG roster lived and played on their youth buuuut nowadays internet connection and cellphone towers are extremely normal

Loud world champion of valorant, another fps game conquered by brazil

Muito bom. Ótimo vídeo meu amigo 🤝

great video! hugs from Brazil!

THE STORY OF GAULES!!!

Engraçado que sempre dão foco aos haters, mas nunca falam do time da Chaos usando cheat, por que claramente eles estavam cheatados.

Rapaz, n sei falar ingles, mas o pouco que entendi quase deu vontade de chorar, assisti primeiro na tv, e n tinha legendas nem dava pra comentar, mas peguei o celular, pra lhe desejar que Deus te abençoe e a sua familia u.u fallen é foda

As competitive games go, fps reigns supreme here. I remember when I was a kid going to the lan house in my neighborhood park and everybody was playing 1.6

2:28 - Here in Brazil, we do have access to the internet every where. (Of course there's not access to it in the middle of the jungle or in the middle of the desert).

Alguém invocou a gente? Primeiro brasileiro? Lesgooooooo

whether it's soccer or esports for many it's also an escape from reality to feel the energy of a crowd you've seen build such a difficult thing to win awards and titles because they are good and hope for other people to follow this world. for a lot the only way to get along very well is to be a professional soccer player but today there is e-sportes and i am very happy and proud with the brazilians in rainbow six and cs how far we can go

Vídeo foda patrão, parabéns

cogu was the brazilian superstar in cs 1.6 not fallen

Vai Brasil!!!!!

The best video talking everything about e-esports brazil man

I am brazilian, and I vividly remember the moment where NIP won the Six Invitational in 2021, A classmate and friend of mine invited the entire class to hang out in his house at weekend. We had no plans to watch an esports tournament but since we were bored out of our minds and the finals were rolling on twitch, we decided to turn it on and watch it, when we put the match on the screen no one besides me had literally any interest on the tournament, but by the end everyone was hyped tf up and cheering for NIP to win, since we were from brazil. Truly a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Good documentary! Just some points that are a bit off.. Chaos Esports doing A FEW sus plays? A few, really? XD.. FalleN also started a twitch project after he was benched from MIBR to talk to kids and teach them CS tactics, teamwork, exercises and metagame as long as they kept studying hard on their own and together(that was beginning of 2020/pandemics. Public schools stayed closed 6-12 months. And that granted him the nickname “The professor”

Ahh, Brazilian players. I used to play Crossfire back around 2008 to 2011. There was no Brazilian server and they absolutely invaded the NA server. High pings, toxic behaviour, chat spams, getting players better than them kicked out of games and a high amount of hackers. Good times.

“access to internet and computers is rare” desisti de assistir depois dessa lkkkkkkkkk uma hora dessas Jered???

Nice video bro :D

*puts Brazil in the title* Brazilians: Did someone call?

"Dominance", because we don't have good PCs over here, so it's either CS or LoL. Not many options of low to none cost games for low budget PCs

I think Gamers Club/GamesAcademy was worth mentioning, it is a special platform that was founded by FalleN, that at first was Games Academy. It was a space for classes for improving at CS. FalleN used to online teach and answer questions directly, and that is one of the reasons we call him Professor. Later on, Games Academy became Gamers Club and it hosts both free and pay-to-play tournaments, where our local scenario kept growing.

Great video
