Just days after successful the $20,000 CBCS Invitational 2022 in Brazil over 00 Nation, paiN Gaming have traveled again to North America to play their final matches earlier than the participant break. Rodrigo “biguzera” Bittencourt, paiN’s No. 1 star, isn’t comfortable in any respect to observe once more with NA groups, although.
“How I missed practicing in NA,” biguzera paradoxically stated immediately. “[Practicing in] Brazil is a thousand times better than here. Now I see why this region [NA] is so successful,” biguzera added, calling out how the NA gamers have been training.
Biguzera isn’t the primary and sure gained’t be the final participant to complain in regards to the high quality of CS:GO observe in NA. This has traditionally been a priority within the area and the observe solely received worse after the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of a number of organizations stopped investing within the competitors and virtually all related tournaments shifted to Europe, which forces the one few good groups from NA like Team Liquid to spend most of their time training in Europe to have an opportunity of successful such huge tournaments.
This can be the general notion in Brazil as effectively. Most of the Brazilian groups transfer to NA to attend NA leagues and attempt to qualify for large tournaments, however with the observe being so unhealthy these days, it’s unclear if that’s the finest method for Brazilian groups. One of biguzera’s followers requested him if paiN couldn’t transfer to Europe as a result of they are going to “unlearn” tips on how to play CS in NA.
The high quality of observe in NA gained’t possible change anytime quickly until organizations attempt to nurture expertise within the area like Evil Geniuses is doing with its Blueprint undertaking and event organizers put money into the grassroots scene.
