Sweden, Finland, and USA are by far the best teams.

Every other team is filled with either youtubers or streamers.

What about team Brazil...

The captain is a SR 50 youtuber that isn't even focused on Overwatch videos (you can watch some "high-level" gameplay here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xD-W_Y9LtY watching a couple of minutes is enough). Also, when he was selected, he made a bullshit video asking for his 4 million subscribers to vote him so he could "achieve his dream" (even though he lives in Canada and goes to Blizzcon every year)

Then there is Zigueira, a famous Rainbow Six pro player who doesn't even play Overwatch (he has played like 20 hours total of OW and he has never played in competitive matchmaking)

Flawz is a decent unknown player (SR 71) who only his friends know, he doesn't play in any team and doesn't take part of the competitive scene (he isn't a streamer nor a youtuber, he didn't ask for votes in any place whatsoever). Nobody knows how the fuck he got the votes, some people are calling bullshit on that.

Nextage is another youtuber, but he is actually a pug player (SR 79), but has ZERO experience playing in a team.

Then the 2 invited players are members of the top 8 teams in Brazil, Insanityz (SR 84) and Soulive (SR 91).

When this event was announced, the competitive community in Brazil saw it as a great opportunity to help the growth of the scene (like Fallen's team helped the CSGO competitive scene in Brazil when they started having success with Keyd in international lans), but now Brazil's team will just be a joke that have zero chances of qualifying to the top 8 finals.

Hoping Dammi and the rest of peruvians can do well, despite having a SR 41 girl streamer on the team.

Chile has 4 youtubers on their team, one of which hasn't even played ranked at all, lmao. YibraN is the only dps player there, I think.
