Ninjas in Pyjamas – slow start
The Brazilian squad started with a historical achievement, being able to conquer the first Six Invitational for the Brazilian region. In Copa Elite Six, Ninjas in Pyjamas did it again and overcame Team oNe in the grand final. After those two big achievements for the Brazilian team, the Ninjas disappointed in Mexico’s Major, without being able to get through the group stage.
The next challenge for the team was Sweden’s Major where the team found itself again and achieved another grand-final, this time against FaZe Clan. In a best of five, all the maps were played but FaZe took the win. In Brasileirão Finals, Ninjas in Pyjamas wasn’t capable to overcome Team Liquid and lost 3-1.
The new year started a bit slowly for the Brazilian squad with a Six Invitational beyond expectations. With the chance to revalidate the title, Ninjas fell in after losses to TSM and MIBR.
For 2022, the team considered some changes but all stays the same for the new season.

Black Dragons – little huge changes
The Brazilian squad only promoted one change in the active roster but lost the in-game-leader, VinÃcius ‘live’ dos Santos to 00Nation as reported by BLIX.GG, as also the coach Henrique ‘sSeiiya’ Sanchez and the analyst that officially joined XSET.
Black Dragons added nade and Igor ‘Freezao’ Silve to fill the coach role. BLIX.GG learned that Ronaldo ‘ion’ Osawa considered retirement but he decided to stay. The new player is not an IGL and Black Dragons should pass by some changes in roles and in a tactical way with a new coach staff. As also reported by BLIX.GG, three players from Black Dragons were considered in 00Nation.
In 2021, Black Dragons were still able to get one trophy, Copa do Brasil in November. The team missed the chance to qualify to the Six Invitational, losing to MIBR in the grand-final of the LATAM qualifier. In Brasileirão finished in 7th, one place behind the qualification for the finals.

w7m wasn’t that good in the last edition of Brasileirão, finishing in the 9th place, one place above the relegation place. The Brazilian squad lost to Black Dragons in the grand-final of Copa do Brasil.

However, the team was still capable to reach the Brasileirão finals and losing to Team Liquid in the semi-finals. MIBR played the LATAM qualifier for the 2022’s Six Invitational and won it over Black Dragons. In the tournament that kick off the new year, MIBR made an incredible run achieving 4th place, eliminating teams like Ninjas in Pyjamas, Spacestation, Oxygen and Team Liquid.
MIBR farewelled the coach Matheus ‘Budega’ Figueiredo in the middle of December and still hadn’t filled the position. The team used the manager Guilherme ‘Guille’ Scalfi as coach in the Six Invitational, however is still unfined if he will stay as a coach or if MIBR will play without a coach.
