g3x reform, to compete in NA

15/5/2016 - 05:05

Following the formation of WinOut, a team comprising members of Keyd Stars and g3x, a new g3x lineup has formed in the ashes and will be seeking to move to the United States and play there.

A miniature Brazil shuffle got under way earlier this week as a new WinOut team was announced that was composed of players from Keyd Stars and g3x, two teams who had been competing to be Brazil's third best team.

Following the dissolution of those two lineups, observers of the Brazilian scene noticed that Lucas "steel" Lopes, a player previously of Luminosity fame, left his own CNB team and that the formation of another Brazilian outfit was in the works.

steel will try his chances in NA again with g3x

The new G3nerationX team (abbreviated as g3x) has now been announced and it features steel alongside the likes of two former Keyd Stars players, Jean-Michel "mch" D'Oliveira and Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe, as well as a player from INTZ (Caike "caike" Costa and a player from Santos.DeX (Rafael "pava" Pavanelli).

The organisation have announced that they will stay in Brazil for a few months in order to finalise visas for the players and then attempt to move to the United States in July-August in order to compete in the leagues there.

This move would make g3x the fourth Brazilian team to make an exodus to shores with more riches and more opportunities in CS:GO, namely North America.

The new g3x roster is:

Lucas "steel" Lopes
Jean-Michel "mch" D'Oliveira
Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe
Caike "caike" Costa
Rafael "pava" Pavanelli

HAVU	1.45	Bet	2.64	CR4ZY
G2	1.75	Bet	2.12	NiP
North	2.27	Bet	1.66	BIG

Soon all of the top teams in NA won't be from NA... Hopefully these guys can do well, and perhaps we'll see steel stepping up as a fragger Does anyone know what his role is? He has an interesting curve in his statistics lol hltv.org/?pageid=173&playerid=7382

In his last team, CNB, he was IGL and 2nd entry fragger

2016-05-15 05:16

no shit he went from playing top na and eu teams to smurfing on BR MM

2016-05-15 05:20

that's why it's funny The curve does not accurately represent his skill

2016-05-15 05:21

he is skilledd tho, he just needs more experiece, like boltz did

2016-05-15 06:01

we'll see...

If you check brazilian cs league site, steel is no.1 in frags over all others source: gamersclub.com.br/campeonatos/csgo/291 click on Estatísticas tab (stats)

2016-05-15 06:14

IGL

2016-05-15 06:54

He was under pressure while playing for LG, he was bottom everytime and the fans keep bashing him, also he change his role on CNB.

2016-05-15 06:58

Because in 2015 he competed against T1-T2 and now he competes against T3-T4

2016-05-15 11:40

fallen gave him cheats ezzz

2016-05-15 12:44

besides steel take a look at? - caike - he is young, but a really good rifler. - kng - fallen always said he is the top 3 awper in BR, below hen1 and himself (fallen). In my opnion he is REALLY GOOD.

2016-05-15 15:45

yep, kNg will be #1 awper in brazil soon.

2016-05-15 18:04

We don't have a good start in the CSGO like yours too, i do not think we will reign in your country, that's not our intention, you guys are see the wrong side of the things, we don't give a shit for yours racism and all these dammit provocations, we only come to USA to have better chance to beat the EU teams, and beign world champions, we are rewriting our victorious history in the Counter-Strike, we don't want be United States citizen, we are Americans like you too, we love this continent like our own country, as before you realizing that, before we will walk together to beat all the self proclamed 'best in the world', the bastards from EU...

2016-05-15 12:57

TOP NA TEAMS IN 2017 1 LG 2 Tempo Storm 3 WinOUT 4 G3X 5 Liquid

2016-05-15 05:07

Sadly, that is probably true. But then again, I am all for it, because maybe once all the NA teams are getting beat by the Brazilian, the orgs will drop the NA players and pick up new ones who actually give a damn to improving.

2016-05-15 05:35

i see a bright future for echo fox

2016-05-15 05:54

or maybe it will boost their will to win and start to rise as never b4...or at least get iBP level... i really hope for NA competing at t1 level...winning some champs.

2016-05-15 06:09

br is lucky ibp is banned that would forsure be above lg, only if they quit being toxic

2016-05-15 17:33

current LG is way better than iBP ever was

2016-05-15 21:38

ever was yeah cuz they didnt get chance to

2016-05-15 22:49

so u r supposing they would be top 1 or at least at fnatic level(with olof) they would be best NA team no doubt, but if they would be stronger than LG who know?!

2016-05-15 22:52

I see it in a different way, the US and Canadian boys will reorganize and work a bit more to get on top again, they just need work hard like those guys do.

2016-05-15 15:13

Better hurry up and get all the brasil teams to NA before Trump build his wall.

2016-05-15 05:07

just to you know, US has no problem of immigration with brasil, its the opposite, they allow any brazilian to travel to US because we spend money there.

2016-05-15 05:09

Everyone here is just joking, I haven't ever met anyone in the US who perceives there to be a Brazilian immigration problem. Pretty sure Brazilians are some of the most welcomed people on earth anywhere they go :)

2016-05-15 05:11

i know you are joking stich, btw we love you xD, but others can say that to flame brazilians.

2016-05-15 12:43

Dafuq? Br teams invading NA. Thats terrible. I feel bad for NA and the esports. NA is the richeast region if the fans start to lose their interest at CS because of the loss of the NA teams sponsors will lose their interest and the scene may dy.

2016-05-15 05:15

then everyone will move to SA Kappa

Nice to see new Brazilian teams being formed and recieving attention from all over the world. Brazilians are true champions, even though they live in a 3rd world country they managed to get really far with LG and TS. Hope we see more BR teams in international leagues. Good luck Winout and g3x.

2016-05-15 05:37

yup they have limited resources and yet provide high quality cs; sad the exact opposite can be said to NA.....

2016-05-15 06:07

I think NA players will react to this, I mean, ok lets reorganize in better teams, work a bit harder and grow up together. If, with those br teams the NA level grow up, the entire scene can be better.

2016-05-15 15:18

because Brazil is a fkn shithole in this planet and they need to migrate to have a chance in this world.. Use your brain dude.

2016-05-15 06:55

No its just that more than 70% of the economy is hold by less than 2% of the population so if you are born in brazil and your parents arent rich so yes you live in a shithole

2016-05-15 07:37

No one in this team has a rating above 1... And they haven't even been playing vs good teams.

2016-05-15 11:29

Probably NA orgs got too excited with LG and TS success and think they are going to get easy money with BR teams. It's true, winout and g3x have good players with potential, but they should have stayed in Brazil and showed that they are strong here first. Right now they are gonna get stomped by NA premier, at least Winout. Tho if I had received some big offer from NA I'd go, even knowing that I suck.

2016-05-15 11:45

To be fair in the ESL pro league i would guess they wont come last, so that kindof makes it worth it. people talk about Brazil as this great place for CS and there is some sick talent. Though people need to realize that there is only enough talent for 2 teams (and honestly TS is good but i dont think they have the skill on certain players to be tier 1)

2016-05-15 15:42

The same could be said about Luminosity and Tempo Storm before they moved. I think back then fer was the only with legit ratings.

2016-05-15 15:41

north african teams to europe please

2016-05-15 11:30

When is brazil gonna get their own scene and ESL league and shit instead? why they all move and invade NA

2016-05-15 11:32

Hmm, there are some steps before. Yesterday ESL started their premier league here, which means optimisticaly in 2 seasons maybe we get a pro league. Players move to NA because it's where the international circuits and "important people on the scene" are, I don't like it too. But Europe has tradition in CS, NA has a lot of orgs, it's hard to expect scenes like BR and China to be included in those circuits soon, specially with visa issues.

Brasilian invasion

2016-05-15 11:34

pava, what an old name ! Bring eduzin back, the brazilian sex god

2016-05-15 12:09

NA should make a huge shuffle to gather all top NA players in one team to start achiving titles and give back some pride to North Americans fans... Hiko, Skadoodle, shroud, Elige, Tarik

2016-05-15 13:06

First of all, you can't make a good team with 5 brainless players. Fallen > Skadoodle coldzera > tarik fnx > shroud fer > Elige taco > Hiko that's why LG is way better than any NA team, because there's no weak point compared to them. compared to EU taco is weak, but compared to NA taco is godlike.

2016-05-15 13:21

"taco > hiko" hahahaha Hiko, coldzera and fallen are the best players of murica

2016-05-15 15:35

lol Hiko is decent, but not even good

2016-05-15 16:54

2016-05-15 13:31

good for the competition yo, gl

2016-05-15 13:42

GL g3x! IMO, only kNg will perform well in this team... I kinda felt bad when he left keyd, im pretty sure he would cause way more impact on that old line up aside with destiny if they were to compete in NA. For the future I bet he'll be the first spare brazilian player in NA (in case he got a good english)

2016-05-15 14:20

all of them are decent

2016-05-15 16:13

1,2,3,4 teams?

2016-05-15 14:38

2016-05-15 18:09

gonna cry? this is invasion of favela

2016-05-15 20:24

4 teams OMFG

2016-05-15 18:28

ez4steelenda

2016-05-15 18:47

Is there some reason they can't stay in Brazil and compete? This is getting ridiculous.

2016-05-15 20:26

lack of sponsors its really fucked up in 3rd world countries

2016-05-15 23:54

The more BR's that go to NA, the less that fans will be interested in watching, which leads to no money for anyone...

2016-05-15 21:05

relax this team is noob no competitive in brazil imagine in NA

2016-05-16 15:19

The favelas dont stop cominggggg letsss go

2016-05-16 00:44

I'm impressed by how they managed to create to fucking good lineups for both WinOut and g3x... TS will have a hard time to keep their position of 2nd best BR team. And c9, Liquid and CLG will have an even harder time to qualify for tournaments, once all the four BR teams are on the main leagues at the same time.

2016-05-16 01:16

Man I want to see what bit is capable of! He's so smart and a really hardworking guy. He was born to play this game and he can bring a lot to the table. Expect him to take SHOOWTiME's spot in a short time

2016-05-16 01:54

no -.- and spacca? -_-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
