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

tbh no i remember when GA went to NA and everybody was saying like "they will get rekt in NA" and i was like "no bro, no" but winout have a good lineup IN NA, and they will need TIME to be good, i dont think that they can be top10, and g3x is not at the same level of winout, i think

Until few months ago all the brazilian kids wanted to be soccer stars, now they want to play CS in NA.

We cant play soccer anymore so we had to find other sport to be good at xD

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

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.

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.

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 05:18

2016-05-15 06:35

I know, I was just joking around because of all these Brasil teams moving over to NA to compete. It's really cool to see honestly.

4 Brazillian teams in NA. When will leagues come to Brazil?

2016-05-15 07:40

2016-05-15 07:01

theres gonna be more brazilian teams in NA than NA teams in NA at this point

g3x > TS NA is BR scene

why do people think that Brazilians are inherently better??? Neither of the 2 new BR teams in NA will be more than t2 NA.

2016-05-15 05:12

How do You know? Do You know these guys?

2016-05-15 05:19

Winout is shit, but this Line is pretty good!

2016-05-15 12:51

they said the same about TS

2016-05-15 05:36

They'll give american teams a run for their money at the very least.

2016-05-15 15:34

winout = titan ( kennyS, kqly, ex6,...) g3x = envyus ( shox, happy, kio, nbk, smi..)

Dilusional Brazilian......

2016-05-15 06:50

Delusional indeed

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.

then everyone will move to SA Kappa

welcome back brazilian steel

Why don't move NA to Brazil? Kappa

WinOut and g3x easily reaches T1 NA in 6 months.

2016-05-15 05:24

yea... idk dude, I hope so but I dont think this will happen, not with those line ups.

2016-05-15 05:26

damn... i arent think that

2016-05-15 05:32

Delusional... as 80% of Brazilians in this thread

2016-05-15 12:44

Good

2016-05-15 05:22

Teams BR > Teams NA NA scene > BR scene Let us make an exchange.

2016-05-15 06:11

Awesome line up. Congratulations steel kng and company

I beleive its the 5th team do do the "exodus", there is Alientech.BR in portugal.

Might as well build a BR pro league in NA while you are at it

now this team is going to be REALLY crazy, people can talk what they want, if this team go to NA with this line up, they will be top2 br soon... mark my words

RIP NA CS 4Head

2016-05-15 05:28

I thought steel was banned because of gambling infraction

the steel banned was the iBUYPOWER, is'not?

there is two steel between canada player(ibp) and brazil player who played for lg before he got kicked from team

2016-05-15 05:53

steel he is the north american player but the g3x he is the brazilian stars

2016-05-15 12:54

best new meme 2016

2016-05-16 02:37

They played really well today on ESL Brasil Premier, look strong, i want see more matches with them!

2016-05-15 05:29

Where is the "We smart" thing? YOU'RE NOT BUDDYINSANE =(

2016-05-15 15:20

LOL, NA should be renamed to Brazil v2. Top4 will become all Brazilians, if not more at that time(with BiGods) +pointed out that steel moved out from cnb earlier this week

Faze Hoppin will destroy Brazilians alone

2016-05-15 05:33

who?

2016-05-15 05:48

Faze? wtf

nice

GL Brazilians.

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.....

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

Very disgusting

2016-05-15 05:39

Gonna cry? We are helping the NA scene grow, because it was a trash.

2016-05-15 05:50

FYI: steel is experient and i think, he is the IGL!

we are making NA CS great again!

2016-05-15 05:42

Bb na welcome brazil????

2016-05-15 05:47

RIP NA CS! Nice line, now is LG TS Alientech WinOut G3X dominating the world <3

steel hahaahahahahaha

STEEL UNBANNED OMG

2016-05-15 06:00

So cool to see a legendary brazilian tag playing in USA with pava one of the most old schooles active players in the world this dude play CS professionally since 2001 or something like that

damn, nice!!!

2016-05-15 06:14

gl pava and kNg are nutty af

why can't you just stay in your fucking country? why do you have to move to fucking NA?

2016-05-15 06:22

to make NA CS great again!

2016-05-15 06:26

Build a port and make the brazilians pay for it!!! Kappa

2016-05-15 12:56

Because orgs don't seem to organize anything back here. So we have to beat NA teams to get money.

2016-05-15 06:43

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

Just sell drugs, easy life.

2016-05-15 08:19

if that economy was three times bigger, those 30% wouldn't be so bad

good guys man, good luck:)

his last attempt of comeback in 2009 was a epic fail. I hope to never see him play again.

2016-05-15 06:51

Didn't he cast in MAX5? Also, who is g3x's coach?

2016-05-15 07:00

that was bczz I think, which was the g3x coach back then. I don't know if this new g3x lineup have a coach. edit: my bad, yeah KIKO was at max5 as a commentator.

2016-05-15 07:10

Omg, was it actually bczz? I just said it for the memes hahaha

he is getting back in shape man! he is one of the best playing here in BR right now.. couple months in NA I believe he will be very good!

2016-05-15 08:37

2016-05-15 10:55

Honestly, all NA teams should go to BR, not vice versa.

2016-05-15 11:13

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.

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

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 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
