24-6-2013 16:58

ProGaming.TD have announced via Facebook that they have recruited former FireGamers and mibr member Arthur "prd" Resende.

After DreamHack Winter, back in November, the Brazilian team went off the grid, and in the last few months that they have been seen in action only in national online tournaments, like the Razer CS:GO Challenge.

After confirming last month the return of Rafael "zakk" Fernandes to the team, ProGaming.TD have now picked up Arthur "prd" Resende, who is one of Brazil's most accomplished 1.6 players.

Resende will step into the shoes of Wilton "zews" de Almeida, who has left the team just four months after being recruited, for reasons that remain unclear.

ProGaming.TD now have the following lineup:

Lucas "Steel" Lopes
Caio "zqk" Fonseca
Caio "rkz" Sinigagli
Rafael "zakk" Fernandes
Arthur "prd" Resende

This is most likely because a whole lot of German nationals fled to Brazil after world war two to avoid persecution (or worse) in Europe. He also doesn't look all that Spanish.

2013-06-24 19:09

thanks for explanation, so it sounds right

2013-06-24 19:10

yup, there are around 6 million native germans or people with german/half-german roots living in brazil. and around 50 million in USA. :D

Just 6 millions ? Even I have German roots... If you look to the south of Brazil we have loads of people who have german roots or born in there.. There're small cities which german is 1st spoken language and portuguese the 2nd, small cities, but exists.

don't know exact numbers, just read it somewhere. there are also german-brazilians coming to my area every year to visit the place of their ancestors. the funny thing is that the people here in my region speak a very "weird" dialect and those brazilians ONLY speak this dialect and no "normal/standard" german. :DD

2013-06-24 21:11

2 replies

I think this dialect is named "Hunsrückisch " (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunsr%C3%BCckisch_..). My father told that its not the same german you guys use to talk, its an older idiom.

indeed, you are right with that.

2013-06-24 23:32

"He also doesn't look all that Spanish" Maybe because Brazil was colonized by Portugal and not Spain... DERP

Dont believe everything you read in HLTV.org Most of the brazilians here (and everywhere) are trolling and being retard. We do have a scene with some leagues and tournaments , what they mean is that we dont have major tournaments anymore (like WCG or big LAN events), but we are still able to pracc and stay in "shape"

2013-06-24 21:44

Those are wise words, I should've known not to trust people posting on HLTV. Anyway it's great to hear that you guys do have an active scene and I hope to see you guys compete in Europe again in the future.

Another fun fact is that the website that was supposed to cover the scene doesn't care about cs anymore... This way everything goes unnoticed, even in Brazil.

This is true today only see news of another game, it's a shame that the scenery is so weak in Brazil.

2013-06-24 23:33

TeamPlay always sucked, probably the worst eSports website in the world, thanks to one of the most arrogant, retarded and mediocre persons on the scene: drzx. non existant coverage, ctrlc ctrlv news, always 2-3 days lates, treating users like shit and etc..

+1 and Teamplay is like: I don't wanna post any news about this game, because I don't like.

2013-06-25 07:25

Thats true if you call 3 or 4 good teams and tournaments of 100 dollars a scene.
