The Brazilian CS2 scene in January 2024 continues to showcase its dynamism and diversity. From legendary teams that have already made a name for themselves on the international stage to new names just beginning their journey to the top, Brazilian CS2 impresses with its variety. In this ranking, we take a detailed look at the current state of each team, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their future prospects.
D-Tier
W7M
W7M is a young team showing decent but somewhat unstable results on the local Brazilian scene. They have room to grow, but their key challenge is finding consistency in their gameplay.
Solid
A team with potential still looking for their place in the competitive environment. Solid even managed to finish second at CCT South America Season 11, but it remains their only significant achievement so far.
Flamengo
Despite significant efforts and investment, Flamengo has yet to achieve major success. The team has an experienced lineup, with some players who have competed at quite a high level, but success remains elusive.
ODDIK
ODDIK has been showing solid results in domestic competitions, but they have yet to prove their strength on the international stage. With the level of Tuurtle and WOOD7, the team has high potential and aspirations for PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: American RMR.
Sharks
Sharks is another young team that occasionally surprises, such as their victory at ESL Brasil Premier League Season 15. This achievement was key in determining their ranking and invitation to PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: South American Qualifier.
Case
Case has strong potential and good conditions, but they need to focus on overcoming weaknesses in their gameplay. Their recent performances suggest a possible rise in the rankings. The growth of 16-year-old snow is encouraging, and he has all the chances to become a new star on the scene.
LOS
LOS is not officially announced yet, but this roster registered for the open qualifiers to RMR. The team looks very promising, with all players having extensive experience, some even playing at majors.
B Tier
RED Canids
RED Canids is a highly promising team with significant growth potential. The arrival of dav1deuS has significantly strengthened their position in the region and even allowed them to think about moving up to Brazil's A-tier.
Legacy
After all the changes, Legacy, now playing with legendary coldzera on AWP, seemed like a mediocre and uncertain team. However, it appears that no decent success is forthcoming, and soon Legacy may face new replacements.
Fluxo
Fluxo burst onto the CS scene but fell just as quickly. After four consecutive CCT wins and several major tournaments, the team started making replacements, which have yet to yield the expected results. There are doubts whether the team can make it to the major for the second time in a row.
A Tier
MIBR
MIBR, with the arrival of drop and saffee, made a huge leap forward in terms of gameplay quality and overall team experience. Now MIBR can put up a fight against strong teams and perform well at international LAN tournaments. They are one of the favorites to qualify for the major from America.
paiN
Imperial
From the initial "Last Dance," almost no one is left in Imperial. However, this does not take away the team's legendary status and coolness. The younger lineup, with hungry-to-win talents, sees the experienced players also performing better and appearing more motivated.
S Tier
FURIA
FURIA recently won their first major LAN tournament in history: Elisa Masters Espoo 2023 with a prize pool of $200,000. The team has improved slightly since the start of the season, but even with less-than-stellar international positions, FURIA remains the best Brazilian team. Moreover, they are the only team to receive a direct invitation to PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: American RMR.
