Dias Lucas Drama: Dias Lucas cheated on his girlfriend and made a controversy between the Siege and Valorant scenes in Brazil.
Long story short: Dias was seeing two girls at the same time, and one of them found out (the one who found out is a *Valorant* pro player). The funniest part is that, amidst the chaos, Dias simply posted a video of himself pulling off a 1v5 clutch against FaZe Clan, sparking controversy. And where does jv92 fit into this? His dream is to hook up with the girl Dias cheated on.
Faze Clan, Cyber and Rafadel of the 2026 Esports Awards
FaZe Clan has won over $3 million in prize money over the last two years, and apparently, they Arendt tired and want more...Are they going to win Makor Osaka?
Faze Clan's Butterfly Effect
In 2022, Soulz was on the verge of retiring from *Siege* to switch to competitive *Valorant*; he wasn't the only FaZe player who came close to quitting the game. KDS stated he disliked Siege and wanted to retire right after winning the Boston SI. Shortly before joining FaZe, Vitaking had enrolled in an economics degree because he lacked opportunities in the Tier 1 scene. Cyber also said in an interview following the Manchester Major—a year before the first hammer —that he intended to retire from Siege. Just imagine if any of those players had actually walked away from the game?
WTF, man, Milosh speaks Portuguese too??
Miloshe just translated what Herdz and Vitaking said in Portuguese... that guy needs to teach the method he uses to learn new languages.
SAL performance
It’s crazy to think that over the last two months, Reddit analysts were claiming SAL had become one of the worst regions—and that NA was dominating—all because of a poor showing at SLC (Just a tournament). Yet here we are, looking at a potential EWC final between SAL teams, right after three top NA squads were eliminated by Brazilians.
SUMMARY OF THE INTERNATIONAL SIEGE COMPETITIVE SCENE | 2017 – TODAY
didn't consider the EWC tournaments because until 2025, the tournament wasn't part of Ubisoft's official circuit.
In short, Europe dominated the Siege scene in the early years, North America showed some potential in a few tournaments, while Brazil basically dominated Siege in 2021 and between 2023 and mid-2025. Currently, we have a balanced dominance between Brazil and North America.
Brazil lifted the last 3 SI hammers, the main tournament of the year in Siege, and is the region with the most hammers, while NA is the region that dominated the last two majors. Europe hasn't won an official Tier S tournament since 2022.
Siege Dominance per Region
BR = Six Invitational Dominance
NA= Majors Dominance
EU= Alemao ego and Stomp fanbase Dominance
SI's Lions and Major's Cats
From a Brazilian FaZe fan, learn this: Betting against FaZe in the major playoffs is always free money.
Alemao Victim
Alemao is the only one on G2 playing correctly. Shaiko just gave match point to SR by opening up the need for a shot. Stomp plays bad today too.
Faze and Falcons Historic
Faze x Falcons faced each other 4 times and they basically alternated in wins/loss:
Major Montreal: Bds/Falcons Win
Si Boston: Faze Win
Major Munich: Falcons Win
Si Paris: Faze Win
Major SLC: ??
Who wins on Friday?
I’ve seen a lot of people talking about the personalities of the FaZe Clan players. Even though they’ve lifted trophy after trophy, many people still underestimate them just because they’re a “low profile” team that doesn’t put themselves out there in the media as much. Because of that, some people call them “boring”; I’ve even seen well-known figures like Interro saying this.
That made me stop and think about why this happens.
In Brazil, I see a lot of fans supporting them. The Brazilian community in general has gotten much closer to this FaZe roster, especially because, lately, the organization has been investing more in content creation for the R6 team, which didn’t really happen before. Because of that, I realized that the way people from abroad see FaZe is completely different from how the Brazilian community sees them.
The truth is that everyone who says this kind of thing about them is someone who only speaks English. So basically, this perception of them comes from a language barrier, nothing more. Almost everyone on the team only speaks Portuguese (except for KDS, who is very shy, so he can’t really have much influence on the international community).
My point is: if they receive support and admiration from the Brazilian community and manage to be successful in Siege (back-to-back world champions), then this view from the international community that calls them “boring” is coming from people who think everyone should speak English, which isn’t right.
This idea that English should be a standard universal language simply doesn’t make sense to me, and sometimes even leads to prejudice against other regions like Brazil and APAC. I’m sure that if some random European team with a profile similar to Faze had been consecutive world champions, many people in the international community would see them in a very different way.
