[0:27] but on the third on the fourth yeah they
[0:30] they made it up I mean like if I was you

[0:50] will be playing fnatic or Navi what are
[0:53] you more scared of
[0:54] dude both teams are showing a really
[0:57] nice valorant on the on the tournament
[0:59] uh I think both are dangerous but maybe
[1:01] uh fanatic fanatic yeah yeah you guys
[1:05] are gonna move to uh La soon huh that's
[1:08] crazy yeah like right now besides both
[1:11] games that you usually do with the
[1:13] League of Legends and Valerian team it's
[1:15] gonna be the first time that we're gonna
[1:16] leave abroad have a roster abroad yeah
[1:19] we're super excited it's gonna be like a
[1:21] lot of experiment and trial and error
[1:23] for us but we are looking forward for
[1:25] seeing this thing to compete abroad yeah
[1:27] yeah are you gonna come visit L.A
[1:29] definitely La is one of my favorite
[1:31] places in the world I usually go once or
[1:33] twice a year uh I really like California
[1:37] overall the US and definitely I'll be
[1:40] there for uh like a couple months I
[1:42] guess yeah okay so I have a very
[1:44] important question as an Esports team
[1:47] owner how do you make money
[1:52] North America no one knows everyone lose
[1:55] money yeah Pro tip go to the Champions
[1:57] it's good gotta go to Champions okay one
[2:00] that's good got a lot of sponsors a lot
[2:02] of spots you're having like a lot of
[2:03] content I know you guys also killing
[2:05] content so like the content you can
[2:07] bring in sponsors so they cover all the
[2:09] losses from Esports got it okay we just
[2:11] need to win Champions we're profiting
[2:13] for four years old our organization yeah
[2:16] we started 2019 and we've rough things
[2:18] so it's not bad it's very it's not it's
[2:20] very good especially Brazil rights
[2:22] Brazil yeah like in America like we have
[2:24] so much money but no one's making a
[2:26] profit so uh we need to learn from you
[2:30] guys exactly yeah oh man yeah I mean I'm
[2:34] trying out this like Valentine stuff
[2:35] it's hard
[2:37] um like the players the coach but you
[2:40] guys have a good system
[2:42] um like when you guys lost sassy and
[2:43] pancata everyone was like hmm I don't
[2:46] know are they still gonna be good but
[2:47] the two new guys I don't know who found
[2:49] them two reasons
[2:52] but like they are performing really well
[2:55] for new players yeah it was like uh
[2:57] lucky for sure because you can get good
[2:59] players but uh make sure that they're
[3:01] gonna perform on clutch situations like
[3:03] those games yeah it's very hard so a
[3:05] little bit of luck but also our staff is
[3:07] very passionate about Valor and they are
[3:09] always watching people from ranked
[3:11] matches in Brazil the ranked games in
[3:13] Brazil are super tough so oh really yeah
[3:15] like less came from like he was like 17
[3:18] years old when he found Nano ranked
[3:20] games
[3:21] please also they were playing on
[3:23] different teams but yeah they are like
[3:25] open Commerce and with a strategy invest
[3:26] on them are amazing like we were super
[3:29] scared of losing them but yeah so far is
[3:32] doing good I guess yeah so when you guys
[3:35] come to uh La you know Anya ask a favor
[3:38] okay please practice with my team
[3:41] definitely they need help man definitely
[3:43] yeah those guys are they're super nice
[3:45] uh they also love to help other things
[3:48] from loud from other games all about
[3:50] like how to behave as a pro player a
[3:53] world champion so I love those guys the
[3:55] players are such nice guys so definitely
[3:56] they will help you for sure awesome
[3:58] thank you thank you yeah exciting oh man
[4:01] yeah this is my first time in Brazil
[4:03] first time how do you like the the
[4:05] weather of like the the weather here
[4:07] it's not so bad it's pretty hot but not
[4:10] the hottest place I've ever been to but
[4:13] I haven't had a chance to like go out
[4:14] and see much because like the hotel
[4:17] Stadium Hotel Stadium it's Sao Paulo is
[4:19] pretty standard if you ever come back go
[4:21] to Rio like uh yeah they do yeah it's
[4:24] super nice super great place to see okay
[4:27] cool hey guys on the shed how are you
[4:30] doing yeah
[4:32] come to Brazil with school calendar it's
[4:35] pretty nice here like the weather's good
[4:36] people are friendly and uh yeah I want
[4:40] to get out to see more here uh so
[4:42] hopefully like when you guys were too
[4:44] low I'm like okay nice nice I can go out
[4:47] and like check out Brazil but DRX like
[4:49] they came back but I'm really glad you
[4:51] guys the funny story about the NRG game
[4:54] I I like I I brought my my mother-in-law
[4:56] to watch the game for the first time she
[4:58] doesn't know anything about uh Esports
[5:00] and she was watching and I'm like okay
[5:02] it's gonna be fast all the games that I
[5:04] watched was like super fast and stuff I
[5:07] could just go and have lunch later we
[5:09] were starving at the game was like 1918
[5:11] and going over and over over time yeah
[5:13] it was fun did she understand what was
[5:15] going on no she was just praying for
[5:17] Andy up fast like hearing all the shots
[5:20] she was quite mad yeah
[5:24] the fast game like it's nice like I'd
[5:28] rather win 3-0 but it's that feeling
[5:31] when it's tied up up and it's like it's
[5:33] very close it's like a good Rush yeah
[5:36] and when you wins the best feeling ever
[5:38] yeah when you lose I was like dude I'm
[5:40] gonna be so like Peace during all the
[5:42] week but right now it's good I saw a guy
[5:44] saying about like discounting for loud
[5:46] uh we are actually seeing a bunch of
[5:48] like good players going and playing on
[5:51] other things the world like from other
[5:53] regions we're trying to to start a
[5:55] program to find these players and
[5:57] incubate them oh yeah in Brazil even
[5:59] like teaching English because that's the
[6:01] point like the players doesn't speak
[6:03] good English so it's hard to play with
[6:05] things from na or Europe
[6:07] yeah but that's a plan that we have for
[6:09] the next year to find players incubate
[6:11] and maybe make somebody selling oh yeah
[6:14] selling players are smart uh like uh I
[6:17] had franchise Works they like see my
[6:21] team and they're like making offers to
[6:22] them like trying to buy them 30 like one
[6:25] of them already got taken away as we
[6:27] were like testing them yeah so uh I like
[6:30] that program like selling players or
[6:32] something and for us especially in
[6:33] Brazil we can't compete with uh those
[6:35] salaries it's like crazy we don't have
[6:37] like US dollars to match up uh to those
[6:39] offers so for those players and other
[6:42] programs we try to offer uh another
[6:44] benefits for staying with us you see the
[6:47] crowd like the sponsors the brands the
[6:49] content players like that they have to
[6:51] build their brands not about like making
[6:52] money and yeah you know so like because
[6:54] if you build your brand and you can
[6:56] become a big streamer and you make more
[6:58] money with that but like sometimes some
[7:00] players like
[7:02] I mean like America they have too much
[7:04] money like oh you won 50 000 like
[7:07] they're not gonna get that money back
[7:08] but they're just like here's fifty
[7:10] thousand dollars a month it's like well
[7:11] as the owner I'm like I think you should
[7:14] take it and then you can come back later
[7:15] with all that money but like yeah
[7:17] staying with uh with an org like
[7:19] building a brand and like knowing you're
[7:22] taken care of is more important but um
[7:26] not every like if different players
[7:28] different priorities I I tell you those
[7:30] guys they are like 19 years old it's not
[7:32] like a three years career you're looking
[7:33] for like 10 15 years doing something
[7:36] that your love should do so think right
[7:38] on the beginning and Valerian is so new
[7:40] right there's only its third year and
[7:43] like you can become like a long-term
[7:46] Superstar right like when you look at CS
[7:48] goes it's like simple who's just known
[7:50] for like 10 years like you don't want to
[7:52] be like Oh I'm really good one year and
[7:54] then no one knows you next year
[7:56] definitely yeah
[7:58] yeah this was super uh super fun uh real
[8:01] really nerve-wracking really stressful
[8:04] like I'm looking at the Brazilian crowd
[8:06] every loss is like
[8:08] so like sad it's like oh what am I lose
[8:11] and everyone is like so much energy did
[8:13] you see loud poke like the guy painted
[8:16] in green oh yeah I saw him that was
[8:18] crazy it was crazy yeah he was all green
[8:20] I'm like wow this guy really loves loud
[8:22] yeah he's gonna have some trouble like
[8:24] in the shower later yeah taking it off
[8:26] and then he has to come back uh for the
[8:28] finals again yeah he said he will yeah
[8:31] yeah a long time to put on that makeup
[8:33] have you ever have ever been to like any
[8:35] restaurants in Sao Paulo no restaurants
[8:37] no yeah we might go to one after this
[8:40] okay yeah yeah no good yeah yeah you
[8:44] guys have any questions for uh pH owner
[8:47] of loud and he like this is your only
[8:49] chance
[8:51] no don't say that yeah we can do more
[8:53] collabs when I go there yeah oh I would
[8:56] love that like you know we'll show you
[8:58] around La a little bit I don't go out
[9:00] too much but I know people who go out
[9:02] same same yeah la uh well we found like
[9:05] 10 teams all in La
[9:07] um I'll definitely like watch some games
[9:09] in person as well a lot of guys plans
[9:11] for the org like your org
[9:14] I mean right now it's just wind good
[9:17] um because I feel like
[9:18] the the thing that's hard and Esports is
[9:21] like when you're early on it's so
[9:23] important to just win yeah because like
[9:26] um when you lose everyone kind of like
[9:27] makes fun of you it's like wow I can't
[9:29] believe you try to get into it like you
[9:30] don't know what you're doing it's like
[9:32] winning I feel like the most important
[9:33] thing but it's hard as an owner because
[9:35] I'm like I can't help you guys win like
[9:38] I can like get you guys attention help
[9:40] you with videos help you with branding
[9:42] but I can't help you win
[9:44] um so we won two games lost one so it's
[9:47] like really intense yesterday we had two
[9:49] games go to overtime and I was like I
[9:52] couldn't I couldn't talk like I'll
[9:54] stream with tarek and he's like talking
[9:55] like please shut up stop talking
[9:59] um no plans like right now I'm just
[10:01] trying to stay in valorent because it's
[10:02] very expensive yeah and I don't have any
[10:05] investors I don't have any sponsors yet
[10:08] maybe next year but right now it's just
[10:10] like when I see the players like get so
[10:12] happy it's like man I wish I could feel
[10:15] that feeling but they're feeling it and
[10:17] that's good enough for me that's a good
[10:19] strategy yeah yeah how did you do it
[10:21] when you first started out when we first
[10:23] started our team just sucked in all
[10:25] games like we started with free fire big
[10:27] big mobile game in Brazil uh we were
[10:31] very popular because like I'm a content
[10:32] creator for the past 10 years so I have
[10:34] like millions of YouTube followers and
[10:36] so on so it was easy to bring people to
[10:38] to cheer for the team but winning is
[10:40] very hard very hard very hard and we we
[10:44] lost a lot for like one two years and
[10:46] then we started to get the good players
[10:48] by like having content and having
[10:49] sponsors type you did the roster uh we
[10:52] jumped into League uh Brazilian League's
[10:55] not that good but in Brazil uh the the
[10:57] the scenes not that that hard show to
[10:59] compete at a high level and then we jump
[11:01] into valorant we had this opportunity of
[11:03] get this team for a very cheap price
[11:04] because Valor was just starring uh in
[11:07] Brazil two years ago so we started to
[11:09] win actually so we built up this sports
[11:11] program some strategy from the team to
[11:14] build up winning things uh and worked
[11:16] out well like last year we won like
[11:18] three four uh trophies and the fans got
[11:21] really hyped about this but we can't be
[11:24] sure that we're gonna keep winning and
[11:25] winning and winning that's why we have
[11:27] other strategies like doing content and
[11:29] having like collabs and uh projects
[11:31] experiences we have a lot of like
[11:33] products and partnership with Brands
[11:35] yeah that's the way that we try to to go
[11:38] yeah that's where I saw you guys the
[11:40] like a YouTube video with DRX I thought
[11:42] that was really cute because like you
[11:44] guys are playing against each other but
[11:45] you're still like being friendly making
[11:47] content because
[11:49] um I mean that's what it's all about
[11:51] right like making content together even
[11:53] though you're competing against one
[11:54] another
[11:56] um it's not like a serious thing it's
[11:58] like everyone respects each other a lot
[12:00] yeah and they feel like Esports is very
[12:02] still so players are like uh just
[12:05] playing okay I have to be the best and
[12:07] as a content creator I think we have to
[12:09] show the other sides sometimes so people
[12:11] can connect and cheer even more if they
[12:14] they watch us for sad hack doing funny
[12:16] stuff that's why we have Vlogs every
[12:18] week of the the backstage of the things
[12:20] to show to the audience how they really
[12:22] are as person yeah so that's better
[12:25] that's really smart and and League of
[12:27] Legends North America every team is five
[12:30] Koreans and like it's a five new Koreans
[12:33] next year and for the fans it's like I
[12:35] don't know who they are they don't speak
[12:37] my language they're not here next year
[12:39] so it's like really tough so definitely
[12:41] very smart to show like who they are
[12:43] like behind the camera and the fans will
[12:45] like them if they like them like they
[12:47] watch their streams support them by
[12:49] merge and they will want to like you
[12:51] know stay in the org because not a lot
[12:53] of orc things like that they're like oh
[12:55] I just want to buy good player buy a
[12:57] good player I don't care like who you
[12:58] are just be a good player and after the
[13:01] players leave those Orcs they have
[13:03] nothing right yeah no like no salary
[13:06] like no branding so yeah if they they
[13:08] end up not playing well those teams
[13:10] usually they just hire another good
[13:11] player at that moment and they they are
[13:13] just lost yeah now I really like what
[13:15] you guys are building with loud and like
[13:17] I think the reason why you guys can get
[13:19] like good players is like they see The
[13:21] Branding they see like how you take care
[13:23] of the players and like of course
[13:24] winning helps a lot it helps yeah but uh
[13:27] that's really smart I'm I'm trying to
[13:29] write this all down yeah we should
[13:32] connect like I'll get her number later
[13:33] or social media so we can just chat and
[13:36] yeah thank you thank you so much I need
[13:39] all the help I can get yeah I also need
[13:41] some some like tips you guys are doing
[13:43] great content there are for your content
[13:44] they are just amazing yeah well we can't
[13:47] we can trade secrets and then you guys
[13:49] can dominate like the franchise League
[13:52] will dominate Challengers League you
[13:54] know one tier lower yeah we will sell
[13:56] you some Brazilian friends okay cheap I
[13:58] promise oh okay all right and then I'll
[14:01] I'll do content for you man like loud
[14:04] videos on my channel okay
[14:07] that's cool awesome well thank you so
[14:10] much thanks for having really enjoyed it
