The last few events in Rio for competitive Counter-Strike have been disappointments and now their local government is asking for another Major. Can we explore the other cities Brazil has to offer?
Be it in the video or the article, I find it interesting that BLAST Pro Series São Paulo 2019 wasn't mentioned in either. I don't have the best recollection of the event, but I believe it was a good one (even though it was on the old shit BLAST format), people were hyped and the games were good. I went and check on HLTV and the photos show a greatly packed arena. I believe that this conversation should start precisely there: we have a success case (as far as I remember) in Brazil, Rio was given two tries and it failed, why not fall back on what has been tried and tested?
Pretty good article, I wondered why Rio was ditched and besides the fans obviously not being good enough this sums up the missing reasons.
I suspect most people who go to Brazil intend to leave at some point, so swapping out Rio does seem like the intelligent choice
