Three Brazilian teams entered the 2019 StarLadder Berlin Major, yet only one of them will feature in the last 16.<\/p>\n

The tournament kicked off on Friday, August 23 with the Challenger series, which welcomed 16 CS:GO esports<\/a> teams from all across the globe.<\/p>\n

Out of 16 participants in the Challenger series, the most represented region was Europe with six teams, followed by CIS with four, the Americas with four and Asia with two.<\/p>\n

Two of those American teams hailed from the ever-growing Brazilian esports<\/a> scene, and both INTZ eSports and FURIA Esports headed to Germany with big ambitions after failing to make an impact at the IEM Katowice Major.<\/p>\n

FURIA finished 20th-22nd in Poland back in March, while INTZ had never reached the main draw of a Major until they qualified for this year’s event in Berlin via the play-ins.<\/p>\n

Hoping to make their country proud and qualify for the Legends stage, the two teams jumped into the arena with varying degrees of success.<\/p>\n

FURIA completely dismantled HellRaisers in round one (16-6), which earned them a spot in round two, where they met their match in the Serbian squad CR4ZY.<\/p>\n

A close fixture that started in FURIA’s favour took a sudden turn in the second half, when CR4ZY tore through them with an impressive 10-2 run to win the match 16-11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
