r1seCup reaches semi-finals

17-4-2015 17:25

Four of Brazil's strongest teams will face off on Saturday in São Paulo at the offline finals of r1seCup.

The Top Run Arena, in São Paulo, will play host to the offline finals of r1seCup, an eight-team invitational tournament with 1,300 BRL (approximately $400) on offer.

Keyd Stars, who managed a top-eight finish at ESL One Katowice last month, are heavily favoured to win the cup, but Dexterity, boasting players like Christos "⁠prd⁠" Savvidis and Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles, are expected to give the former KaBuM side a run for their money.

Keyd Stars to attend r1seCup finals

After topping their group without breaking much of a sweat, Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo's side will be pitted against Mastemind, a team fielding ex-ProGaming.TD trio Rafael "⁠zakk⁠" Fernandes, Caio "⁠rkz⁠" Sinigaglia and Felipe "⁠fbm⁠" Mengue, in the semi-finals of the competition. Dexterity, on the other hand, will take on Rampage Killers in what is expected to be a clean sweep for prd's men.

Below you can find the full timetable for the r1seCup finals:

14:00	Keyd Stars	vs.	Mastermind
18:00	Dexterity	vs.	Rampage Killers
21:00	Grand final

The lineups of the four teams in attendance are the following:

Keyd Stars: FalleN, fer, boltz, steel and zqk
Dexterity: TACO, hen1, lucas1, cold and prd
Mastermind: felps, zakk, rkz, fbm and xand
Rampage Killers: tifa, shoowtime, ghx, NEKIZ and pkl

No, thats not the point. SouthAmerica doesn't have much support to videogames mate, thats why Keyd ask for donation and stuff.

2015-04-17 22:43

keyd is the richest org in brazil, this org never asked for money. They asked becuz kabum wasnt supporting them as they support three lol teams

2015-04-18 15:14

Brazil is the 7th biggest economy in the world. The problem is that e-sport is nothing here.

2015-04-17 23:38

dollar went up pretty bad the last few months here.

2015-04-17 17:27

2015-04-17 17:41

When will we see cogu back? :(

6 replies

never

I don't think he fitted the game good already, maybe in some time, like the next year, we'll see him back in some sort of way in the scene.

2015-04-17 17:36

He said he's back, but still no team, afaik.

2015-04-17 17:42

About one month ago, his facebook page said that he is back and some weeks later nak updated his facebook page too. Something is about to explode.

2015-04-17 17:48

the truth is that counter strike

2015-04-17 18:18

the truth is that counter strike does not bring money for sponsors or the teams like in europe, its sad, but its true...

2015-04-17 18:20

True, It's 1 country while EU is a continent.. hope these tournaments hope to grow the community at least.. How much BR players right now in CS GO ? 100k ?

2015-04-17 18:22

we have many players playing here, but not in competitive way...FalleN is trying to bring brazilians to the competitive side

2015-04-17 18:45

2015-04-18 01:18

This tournament was made in the last hours... The is not too much sponsor,that's why the prize its too low :)..

2015-04-17 20:29

That's still better than mouse, keyboard or headset, which is the usual prize.

2015-04-18 20:20

who is the best player in Brazil except KeyD's

10 replies

it's hard to tell cold/hen1/lucas

All of the player you told me is from Dexterity,so could I think Dexterity is top2 team in SA?

2015-04-17 17:58

It is, although a close call between dexteriety and rampage killers.

2015-04-17 18:29

Yeah. It is far far far away from Keyd's level, but still a very good team.

2015-04-17 21:23

hen1? are u crazy? do u see his play on nuke? haha, hen1 is not one of the best, its cold, taco, ghx or taco.. but hen1? nah, lucas is ok..

2015-04-18 04:25

I have to desagree with you. Taco and ghx aren't great players. If you want to add someone from rK then SHOWTIME would be a contender.

2015-04-18 13:43

TACO of dexterity team for sure.

felps,cold or lucas1

2015-04-17 18:16

fbm.... he should be in keyd

2015-04-17 19:44

2015-04-17 17:39

"will take on Rampage Killers in what is expected to be a clean sweep for Resende's men RampageKillers is a great Team, it will be a great match, hardly a "clean sweep".

2015-04-17 17:43

True. RK even managed to beat DeX last week. Keyd vs. MM will be a clean sweap though. MasterMind has like 2 weeks of existence

2015-04-17 17:46

2015-04-17 18:59

Before post something, you guys from hltv.org need to search whats happening whit the game here in Brazil. Say that the game of rK vs dex will be a clean sweep for Resende's team is wrong, taking the last results. Name doesnt win games. by NEKIZ (RampageKillers player)

2015-04-17 19:00

I agree with you, but common give the guys a break, 2 year ago we didint even had tournaments, now we have HLTV posting than on the first page, one step each time. GL in your game!

2015-04-17 19:40

its true, rK > dex, PKL is a huge friend of mine and he says that he do preffer winning against dEx than keyD. dEx players are scumbags, and rK went 11-1 vs keyd. hltv.org is not that good in the brazilian scenario ):

2015-04-17 20:59

I agree. Good luck!

2015-04-17 21:26

keyd o/

2015-04-17 19:20

400$ lol if this on lounge i'd rather throw a match and make a lot more

2015-04-17 19:33

why would keyd throw a match to win 2k$ plus if they can do 30k$ plus with stickers since they have stickers from katowice 2015 and stickers from next major

2015-04-18 07:03

huge prize!

2015-04-17 19:35

Dexterity can surprise!

2015-04-17 20:44

"Dextery, on the other hand, will take on Rampage Killers in what is expected to be a clean sweep for Resende's men." lol, this is completely wrong, rk is the second best team here. sorry mate.

2015-04-17 21:00

why br players all of their nicknames has only 3 letters.. annoying as fck

2015-04-17 22:09

hehe

2015-04-18 01:23

idk :D:D:D:DD:DD:D:DD:D

2015-04-18 05:10

US$400 is ridiculous! Most of these players will have to spend this amount of money for the trip to the Lan.

2015-04-17 22:10

That's why valve must improve the south america community, it's so hard to play competitive in brasil, and even so KEYD were top 8 in major! Wake up valve...
