Introduction
Valorant is a free-to-play first-person shooter video game developed and published by Riot Games. It features a 5v5 team-based gameplay with a variety of agents, each with unique abilities, and objective-based game modes. Commonly refered to as a melting pot of Overwatch/TF2 and CSGO most people with knowledge in this subject and totally not biased idiots who wasted their life playing these two games instead of having their own qt pocket sage in 2023 thought the game would die faster than this site whenever train posts were banned. Contrary to this opinion, the game and its esport scene is still going strong and as someone who has never watched a single Valorant game I'm happy to see these people happy. The recent tournament in Brazil - VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo - had similar success and created a lot of interest for fans as the winner of the tournament would grant their region an extra slot at the upcoming major or something idk really I'm trying my hardest here to make this interesting. Local fans cheered with their team (LOUD) and the final against the European team Fnatic was only narrowly lost. However, as soon as the local team lost the stadium was anything but LOUD as most of the audience has already left as shown in this picture:

This created a LOT of seethe as Brazilians leaving the stadium whenever their team loses is not a rare occurrence. It has gotten so bad that one of the most prominent figures in the scene had to basically tell the fans that events are not coming back to their country if that keeps happening:

Was the same with the csgo major, best crowd in recent memory for the brazilians. Any other team and the crowd was silent.
It's every Brazilian crowd ever, the last MMA card in Brazil was beyond pathetic.
beyond pathetic is a great way to explain that, shit was so cringe

Brazilians are like this in every sport I've ever watched. Tournaments held in Brazil are always garbage because of it.
They are like this in every sport I think. The Brazilian crowd when the ufc goes is notorious for chanting “you’re gonna die” to foreign fighters, throwing food and drinks at them, and even trying to grab and smack them as they walk out. You don’t see it anywhere else
Valorant: Tarik on Brazil fans leaving venue early after Loud loss.
Hope Riot never goes back to brazil again. terrible crowd, not only that some players are afraid to leave their hotels in fear of being robbed. Time and time again, brazil has proven to be a garbage place for anything competitive, whether that be the csgo tournaments, or even ufc lol. really really hope riot doesn't come back because this is just sad
I’ve literally never heard a single good thing about the Brazilian community from CS or from here. No surprise, and Riot should never go back. That’s pathetic and shameful for an entire community to blatantly disrespect the hard work that pros put out to get that far. Not to mention the money and resources that went into getting this venue only to have it be empty before it’s even over?
Reactions to the empty arena
The arena during the winner interview
We usually do not care about others teams, you guys are really disconected;
Why should we care ? Brazilians in fps are used to getting called names (slurs and other stuff) and be belittled by people overseas we learned to cheer ourselves and do not care about other people think.
This is why you will see brazilians really root for our teams.
I mean... Its 21 PM here in Brazil, and its a bit dangerous at the streets.
And also, what did you guys expected? Loud lost lol

That would be me. I play fps games without learning the tactics or practicing my aim
… I‘ve gotten rage-kicked from probably dozens of lobbies, I’m just there to have fun and even in non-ranked matches my casualness irritates my team when they’re spectating me (which is always, since I always try to live as long as possible and never try to find other people) 
Playing casually in “competitive” games is a drama goldmine. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a rank in any of them because I keep getting kicked from lobbies. I’m literally not even trying to be bad, I just pay more attention to chat than the game itself.
I think my typing speed improved from 50WPM to 90WPM when I played league for a few months. Thankfully cs has voice chat.

The CSGO subreddit was notoriously anti-Brasil and it seems the Valorant subreddit is that way too. I'm not against that, IMO they can hate whichever nation they want for whatever reason, the problem is i'd prefer if they were honest and said ''brazilians are fricking BIPOCs and i hate them'', instead it's all this facade ''oh but you see they dont care about the game only their teams...''.

My own take, BRs are some of the most dedicated motherlovers when it comes to the fighting game scene.
These frickers create 500+ player tournaments out of their asses for games that'd be lucky to get 20-30 people in NA/EU, all for about 20 USD.

Fighting games are a third-world/poorcel genre in general, given that they have always been prominently an arcade genre, which attracts poorcels who were unable to buy consoles as kids, and arcade fighting games were the only video game that they could play as kids, just look at the sheer number of black FGC champions, and also Pakistanis, South Americans, etc.
Jump in the discussion.

I should put more effort to log dumb FGC shit.
The TLDR is NA players mostly just have giant egos and then get killed when push comes to shove on the international level: they're all more interested in having mental breakdowns on twitter instead of actually winning and improving their play. EU players occasionally actually win shit
SF6 should produce some tasty drama with all the biggest heads across multiple games butting heads, which will all lead up to that million dollar prize getting sharked by some Japanese dude
