Bringing Brazil to the Major: How 21 players fought their way to the biggest stage

At 21 players, this is 6 more than at StarLadder Berlin, the tournament which previously featured the most Brazilian players. When it comes to the top 16 stage, Stockholm has not yet passed the highest number of participants, but considering only half of those teams have been decided and we are already over halfway there, the odds are that this Major will see the most Brazilian attendees any way you slice it.

Fnatic adds smooya on trial

Fnatic has signed Owen “smooya” Butterfield on a three-month trial, the organization announced today. The British AWPer stood in for Fnatic in the IEM Winter Europe open qualifier last weekend and helped them beat GamerLegion, K23, and Galaxy Racer. Smooya was under contract with Movistar Riders until this morning, so Fnatic got to sign him without paying a buyout.

Smooya’s arrival means that Fnatic has a British core
