Welcome everyone to the home of the strongest MLBB players in the entire world.
00:14.0
Again, this is the Road to M5. I'm Niceu.
00:18.0
Joined here with me is my host, Manjean.
00:21.0
And it's us, Su-Man, once again to bring you another episode.
00:25.0
This would not be possible, of course, without our teleco partner, Smart.
00:29.0
So thank you guys very much.
00:30.0
Manjean, I know you're in a different setup today. How are you feeling?
00:33.0
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
00:35.0
Alam nyo na yan, guys.
00:36.0
Kami ang makakasama nyo para bisitahin ang iba't-ibang region sa MLBB
00:42.0
patungo sa M5 World Championship na gaganapin sa Pilipinas.
00:48.0
Alam nyo na yan. Niceu will handle the international viewers.
00:52.0
At ako naman para dito, sa ating mga kabayas sa Pilipinas.
00:56.0
Great to hear from you and hope you're well where you are currently.
01:00.0
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
01:01.0
Every episode, as you guys know, will feature a different region
01:06.0
and will also be joined by a different guest from each of those regions.
01:09.0
Our last episode, if you didn't catch it, that was with Coach Zico.
01:13.0
He talked a little bit about both Malaysia and Cambodia, specifically Cambodia.
01:18.0
Now, for this episode, we are going all the way around the world,
01:24.0
it feels like, right?
01:26.0
Completely different here.
01:27.0
And I know you guys know this guest very, very well.
01:31.0
He has been on multiple international stages
01:34.0
and they just actually were crowned the champions over there in Brazil.
01:39.0
I'm going to go ahead and welcome our guest for today.
01:42.0
It's ROQ's Luis. Luis, how are you?
01:46.0
I'm fine, guys. It's a pleasure to be here with all of you.
01:51.0
Let's go, let's go.
01:55.0
Let's go, Luis. Am I right?
01:59.0
I've been searching the Brazilian language.
02:02.0
It's not Brazilian.
02:08.0
The two-time NPL champion, right?
02:12.0
Am I right? Two-time champion?
02:15.0
Four times? Oh, my God.
02:17.0
Yeah, four times.
02:18.0
I did not do my research.
02:20.0
I did not research.
02:22.0
I was going to say, you want to know something?
02:25.0
Luis is the goat of Brazil.
02:29.0
No, he's considered the goat.
02:32.0
I saw that on Liquipedia.
02:35.0
I saw that on Liquipedia.
02:36.0
He's like currently our Carl Teezy.
02:40.0
Four-time champion.
02:42.0
Luis, let's go ahead and I'm going to ask you directly.
02:47.0
You guys dominated Liga Latam, right?
02:51.0
Again, four-time world champion.
02:53.0
Why is it so easy for you guys?
02:55.0
Why is it so easy for you guys to say, vamos?
03:02.0
I don't think anything in life is easy.
03:05.0
To dominate a championship, you need days and days of sacrifice.
03:10.0
Training a lot after 40.
03:12.0
We train a lot for this.
03:14.0
And in day five, I think the focus is the same.
03:21.0
Yeah, the preparation.
03:22.0
You guys swept your grand final, right?
03:25.0
Correct me if I'm wrong.
03:30.0
So, we call it, you know, that is a dominating grand final.
03:36.0
Did it feel easy?
03:38.0
Like in the actual game?
03:41.0
No, I think we know too much bigotry from Brazil.
03:47.0
We train every day with the team of bigotry.
03:51.0
If I'm not mistaken, they were up against the Brazilian representatives for IESF, right?
04:00.0
And those games were quick.
04:03.0
I just watched those games earlier.
04:06.0
It was really a dominant game for you guys.
04:09.0
You were using tanks.
04:10.0
You were using francos, cajas.
04:13.0
Why is it that you guys have this advanced knowledge of MLBB?
04:18.0
It seems like you're unbeatable in your region.
04:25.0
I think it's more training, training, training, training.
04:28.0
And we show this in the matches.
04:33.0
It's like I talked in the last question.
04:37.0
We train a lot with bigotry.
04:40.0
With this, we know everything about this team.
04:45.0
Because this is okay to dominate the match.
04:50.0
So, I'm wondering, Luis, if, you know, you're very familiar with Bigotron,
04:55.0
you're very familiar with a lot of the other teams,
04:57.0
because you guys had obviously a fantastic season.
05:00.0
When it comes to international tournaments,
05:03.0
which you've been a part of multiple, you know.
05:06.0
Yeah, multiple times.
05:07.0
How do you, like, for example, even back in M4,
05:10.0
and now looking over to M5,
05:12.0
how do you even, how do you guys prepare differently
05:15.0
for the international tournaments, right?
05:18.0
Like, because you don't know all the teams so much.
05:21.0
Like, you know, for example, Bigotron.
05:22.0
So, is there a different way that you guys prepare
05:26.0
or a different training preparation that you guys have?
05:30.0
I think we came in bootcamp.
05:35.0
It's very important to get experience from the other teams around Asia.
05:43.0
The bootcamp is more important than everything for us.
05:47.0
Okay, so understood.
05:48.0
What they do is they just train and train and train.
05:51.0
But they do scrims with Southeast Asian teams.
05:56.0
I'm curious, how is the connectivity?
05:59.0
How do you do your scrims with other regions,
06:03.0
especially in the Eastern side of the world?
06:10.0
We are in Brazil, only play with Brazil.
06:14.0
But when we go to M-Series, we train with our teams.
06:18.0
Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia.
06:27.0
So, will you come pretty early then?
06:29.0
Like, is that, do you know?
06:31.0
I don't know if you actually know this or not.
06:33.0
Like, would you guys come early for M5?
06:37.0
We think, we think.
06:38.0
In the start of November, I think.
06:43.0
Very, very early.
06:46.0
I think we get vacation in Bali for AT.
06:52.0
But we don't know.
06:55.0
Okay, so vacation first.
06:57.0
After the vacation, go straight to the Philippines and then train.
07:03.0
Yeah, go to Bootscape, I think.
07:06.0
That's advanced thinking.
07:07.0
Advanced thinking, bro.
07:10.0
I think that's what they need, man.
07:12.0
That preparation.
07:14.0
I think everyone's gonna probably do that if they can.
07:17.0
You know, like, come as early as you can.
07:20.0
I think a lot of teams did that even last for M4, right?
07:23.0
Out in Indonesia.
07:24.0
So, my question specifically for you and the role that you play, Luis.
07:32.0
You know that there was a huge patch recently, right?
07:35.0
Which kind of changed the meta a little bit.
07:39.0
And it kind of went to the support heroes, right?
07:42.0
A lot of the healing support and whatnot.
07:44.0
Did you have, did you guys or you personally,
07:48.0
did you have any troubles with that recent patch?
07:50.0
That changed your playstyle or strategy at all?
07:56.0
Regarding the new patch, I think the hardest thing for me to adjust to
08:02.0
was playing with fragile heroes like Rafaela, Angela,
08:07.0
which are heroes that you have to be careful with during a match
08:12.0
in order to play safe and magic damage.
08:19.0
My gameplay is okay now, but in the start of new patch,
08:23.0
it's hard, it's hard to work.
08:27.0
So, it really affected your gameplay
08:29.0
because you usually use a lot of setup tanks
08:33.0
like Kaja and the Franco, and of course, the Khufra.
08:40.0
But given this type of strategy right now,
08:47.0
do you think that you guys can still pull off wins
08:52.0
against other regions?
08:54.0
Because right now, we're going to have M5
08:58.0
and MPLA is also coming up, right?
09:03.0
So, how will you prepare for this?
09:08.0
I think we'll see all of the championships.
09:12.0
We'll see games of Echo, for example,
09:16.0
games of 1HP, Brain, RQ Indonesia.
09:23.0
This is our preparation about the screens.
09:28.0
Our preparation, see the games and make reviews for our screens too.
09:33.0
It's our preparation.
09:36.0
Sounds like a lot of the teams, how they prepare, right?
09:40.0
I do say that when it comes to those tournaments
09:47.0
and the international scene,
09:48.0
I think the biggest change that they have to go through
09:50.0
is obviously just trying to get to that country,
09:54.0
wherever it is, and then hopefully playing against
09:57.0
the other country's teams.
09:59.0
Because like you mentioned, they only get to play against Brazil
10:02.0
basically on their server out there.
10:05.0
And just real curious, Luis, since this just happened,
10:10.0
like you guys basically just were crowned champions over there
10:14.0
for League of LeTAM.
10:16.0
I'm just curious, how did the team feel about it?
10:20.0
Or was it more like you guys knew you were going to win?
10:23.0
Was it kind of like that?
10:24.0
Or was everybody really excited about winning again,
10:27.0
even though it was a sweep?
10:28.0
How did you guys feel?
10:30.0
The feeling of going to another World Cup is always incredible.
10:38.0
And being able to get, you know, the strongest region in the world
10:42.0
right now in the game makes me even happier.
10:47.0
And another dream come true.
10:50.0
And we're very excited to go to PA for real.
10:55.0
Do you know, do you have any idea
10:58.0
how many hours is the travel time?
11:04.0
I'm going to give you a hint.
11:06.0
Did you look it up?
11:08.0
You should download a full season of maybe Friends
11:12.0
or Game of Thrones or any series that you like.
11:17.0
Because for sure it's going to be more than,
11:20.0
maybe more than 13, right?
11:22.0
I just looked at it, it's 22 hours.
11:26.0
I'm very scared of planes.
11:32.0
I don't even want to know what time is the flight.
11:37.0
I am scared, I am scared.
11:38.0
Don't worry, Luis.
11:39.0
We will tell Mooncon to take care of you guys in your flight.
11:47.0
We want you to experience the Philippines
11:52.0
in the most awesome way possible.
11:56.0
That's why right now I want you to answer this question.
12:02.0
For our international guests,
12:04.0
we have ourselves what we call the Balut Challenge.
12:08.0
Do you know what a balut is?
12:12.0
Leo talked about this.
12:15.0
You need to eat balut.
12:17.0
But I don't know what is this.
12:19.0
Okay, good for you.
12:20.0
It's good that you don't know.
12:22.0
Okay, it's good that you don't know.
12:25.0
If you come here in November,
12:30.0
we will come to you
12:32.0
and we will give you the balut.
12:34.0
I would like you to answer this question.
12:39.0
Do you accept the balut challenge?
12:49.0
I think it's so hard.
12:52.0
Everybody gets challenged, Luis.
12:54.0
All our guests get challenged for this.
12:58.0
It's just a part of the Philippine experience.
13:00.0
It's something...
13:01.0
I came from the US when I moved to the Philippines
13:04.0
and I had to do it as soon as I moved here.
13:07.0
It's something that everybody gets to try, basically.
13:15.0
I will have you eat balut, my brother.
13:18.0
He always likes it, bro.
13:23.0
He told you that when you guys won, right?
13:30.0
I'm going to speak Tagalog for a little bit, Luis,
13:33.0
for our Filipino listeners.
13:37.0
He accepted the balut challenge.
13:39.0
Leo was the one who challenged him.
13:42.0
Luis was excited to come to us.
13:45.0
It's like my understanding of their training is very basic.
13:53.0
They just want to go to the Philippines early
13:57.0
so they can train.
13:59.0
That's the only option.
14:02.0
Yeah, correct on that.
14:06.0
Now that we know how Luis and the rest of the team prepared
14:10.0
and they trained and everything else,
14:12.0
which is kind of what we expect with a lot of the teams out there,
14:17.0
this is the next thing I want to know, Luis,
14:20.0
is did you guys along the way,
14:23.0
let's say your whole season,
14:27.0
was there any obstacles
14:30.0
or was there any challenges that you guys faced as a team
14:34.0
or as you personally?
14:36.0
Did you guys face any challenges for securing your spot?
14:42.0
I think the biggest challenge was the change of the patch
14:46.0
in the middle of the LATAM League.
14:49.0
But my team adapted more quickly to the new patch
14:54.0
because we trained.
14:57.0
We trained, we see.
15:00.0
With this, we can win a championship more easily
15:03.0
and we gave everything to adapt and we won.
15:07.0
Unlike the M-Series,
15:08.0
the biggest challenge is the time zone, food, and other country.
15:13.0
But here is the patch.
15:16.0
The patch is the most difficult.
15:21.0
So it's very technical in your league,
15:24.0
but of course, if you come here, it's the culture change.
15:29.0
It's the weather, maybe, and the time zone, of course.
15:34.0
And plus the balut.
15:35.0
Don't worry, the balut will make you stronger.
15:38.0
It will help you play better.
15:39.0
Yes, it will help you play better.
15:43.0
That means the whole team has to eat it.
15:47.0
It's like smoke in Indonesia.
15:50.0
Everything smoke and play better.
15:53.0
I think this is his third time or fourth time.
15:58.0
How many M-Series did you get already, Luis?
16:02.0
It's my fourth time.
16:03.0
This will be his fourth, yeah.
16:08.0
M2 was the first one, I think.
16:15.0
Yeah, there we go.
16:18.0
So, you know, now that we know...
16:21.0
I don't know if you want to say that in Tagalog as well, Manjean.
16:24.0
Like, just, you know, real quick, the biggest challenge he's had, obviously,
16:27.0
it was the patch.
16:29.0
They're just having a hard time.
16:30.0
Bale, Mga Kabaya, and Luis.
16:32.0
The patch, it was like their challenge.
16:36.0
Because he's a tank roamer.
16:39.0
Then again, for him, for international tournaments,
16:43.0
the culture change was hard.
16:47.0
Because, of course, they're West.
16:49.0
And they're not...
16:51.0
They're not Filipino, unlike other players in the US.
16:55.0
Unlike other players in the US,
16:57.0
who immediately know when it comes to the Philippines,
17:00.0
he's a culture shock.
17:05.0
So, it's really interesting.
17:07.0
Because Luis seems to be game
17:09.0
for those challenges.
17:11.0
Speaking of culture naisu,
17:16.0
Brazil, as an MLBB region,
17:18.0
has been around for quite some time.
17:21.0
Can you share with us
17:23.0
a little bit of culture,
17:25.0
or what's the competitive atmosphere in your region?
17:29.0
How is it like to be an MLBB player in Brazil?
17:38.0
I think the competitive culture in Brazil
17:41.0
still has a lot to evolve.
17:44.0
The players are still new.
17:46.0
And the scene is still developing.
17:49.0
There's still a lot of inexperience in the scene.
17:52.0
Especially in the teams that come from the upper qualifiers.
17:56.0
But it's still evolving.
18:07.0
to Indonesia in the future.
18:13.0
we have a lot of inexperience.
18:16.0
So, it's still growing.
18:17.0
It's very new, right?
18:22.0
But how is the...
18:23.0
Because when I watched your guys'...
18:25.0
When I was watching your guys' finals and playoffs and stuff,
18:29.0
I mean, it seems very vibrant and alive.
18:32.0
I think that's something that always
18:35.0
can be said about Brazil in general.
18:38.0
You guys are very vibrant and alive
18:41.0
and energetic and very colorful, right?
18:47.0
Let's say the esports scene or the MLBB scene,
18:49.0
is it very popular over there in general?
18:52.0
Or is it still also small?
18:54.0
Like, that is growing as well.
18:56.0
Like, the interest in MLBB.
18:59.0
In Brazil, the game is so popular.
19:04.0
Too many people playing, but...
19:07.0
Not in competitive.
19:08.0
Competitive is a little...
19:13.0
So, do you mean...
19:14.0
Yeah, you know, you know.
19:16.0
I don't record the word.
19:19.0
But I think what he means is
19:21.0
the support for the competitive scene is little.
19:27.0
Do you have any idea, Luis, why is that?
19:31.0
I think it's because Brazil is the
19:39.0
Brazilians like every game with shorting.
19:45.0
Yeah, so more on PC.
19:46.0
Like, is that what you mean?
19:47.0
Like, it's more PC esports also?
19:50.0
Like, for shooting.
19:51.0
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:52.0
Or just shooters.
19:59.0
Go long, go long.
20:00.0
But Brazil is growing in this.
20:07.0
There are more players who play FPS.
20:12.0
You already know that.
20:13.0
If you're a gamer.
20:15.0
Alright, go, Naisu.
20:19.0
This is just a question I'm curious about, Luis.
20:23.0
When or, like, what made you start playing MLBB?
20:27.0
Like, how long ago was that when you first started playing it?
20:30.0
And then, why did you choose that if Brazil is way more into, like, the FPS games?
20:36.0
What made you want to play MLBB?
20:40.0
What time I play?
20:41.0
No, like, why did you play?
20:43.0
Like, the very first time you started playing.
20:45.0
Like, why did you choose Mobile Legends?
20:51.0
I can talk about another game.
20:54.0
Yeah, I play Dota.
20:58.0
You know, Dota 1.
21:00.0
Of course, of course.
21:03.0
And I see a commercial of MLBB.
21:08.0
And it's like Dota in cell phone.
21:14.0
And after this, I play.
21:16.0
So, I think he really is a MOBA player.
21:22.0
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:23.0
That's the same thing I think I thought too.
21:26.0
I don't know about you, Manjean.
21:27.0
But, you know, I played another MOBA.
21:29.0
And when I saw that, oh, MLBB is on your phone.
21:33.0
But it's like a MOBA.
21:34.0
And I immediately picked it up and started playing.
21:36.0
The first thing I thought, well, everybody knows this.
21:39.0
Moonton knows this.
21:40.0
The first thing that I thought when I saw Mobile Legends is that, really?
21:50.0
You play professional in mobile phone?
21:57.0
The people was like that.
22:02.0
I underestimated the game.
22:04.0
I underestimated MLBB.
22:06.0
And I was shocked that it was so big.
22:09.0
And people are so hype about it.
22:13.0
People follow it.
22:16.0
And there's a huge community.
22:18.0
And now we're here.
22:19.0
We're talking to Luis from Brazil.
22:22.0
Now he's a professional.
22:24.0
Four-time champion.
22:25.0
Four-time champion.
22:27.0
The goat of Brazil.
22:29.0
What is goat in Portuguese?
22:34.0
Goat in Portuguese.
22:45.0
The bodge in Brazil.
22:50.0
Goat is the greatest of all time.
22:55.0
Yes, you are, bro.
22:56.0
You are the bodge.
23:00.0
No, you are the bodge.
23:03.0
You are the bodge.
23:06.0
So the other thing too is basically you guys have been to so many international tournaments, right?
23:16.0
And if you're comparing it to some of the other MPL regions, for example, Singapore, MPL MY,
23:23.0
you guys from Brazil usually place really well like in the international tournaments, right?
23:30.0
Why do you think that is, Luis?
23:32.0
Like what sets Brazil apart from some of these other regions like Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia?
23:40.0
What sets you guys apart?
23:43.0
I think we have a lot of potential to exploit.
23:48.0
We just need confidence.
23:49.0
And that's what RRQ did.
23:51.0
They trusted in us and gave us all the support we need to become the team we are today.
24:01.0
Yeah, I think this is how the support of RRQ is incredible for us.
24:09.0
Yeah, I remember.
24:10.0
We showed this in M-Series in international competitions.
24:16.0
You remember M4, Manjean?
24:18.0
They were superstars.
24:19.0
They were superstars because they had the band support too.
24:30.0
Plus, I'm not biased.
24:33.0
I'm not biased to RRQ.
24:34.0
But for me, they have the best jersey.
24:42.0
The best, what do you call it?
24:47.0
For me, they have the best merchandise.
24:49.0
You like your jersey?
24:56.0
You guys gotta bring some jerseys.
24:57.0
I swapped all my jerseys.
25:01.0
My friend, OSX, he gifted me an RRQ shorts.
25:09.0
Did he buy those in M4?
25:11.0
Yes, he bought me RRQ shorts.
25:14.0
First of all, he is rich.
25:16.0
And second, the shorts were so good.
25:20.0
The shorts were so lit.
25:22.0
And I told him, man, you should give me those shorts.
25:25.0
Imagine if you were wearing them right now.
25:33.0
Going back to it, it's good to hear.
25:37.0
Something that sets you guys apart really for a lot of this
25:41.0
is also just the amazing support that you've got from RRQ.
25:45.0
And it's very clear that support is there.
25:50.0
And hopefully, I don't know if this will happen,
25:52.0
but maybe you guys have the band here in the Philippines too, right?
25:56.0
For supporting all of the RRQ teams.
25:59.0
But, Manjean, basically, I was just about to lead you into this.
26:05.0
I'm so used to leading you into this.
26:07.0
Because I think he already answered, too.
26:09.0
Basically, how would you differentiate Brazil from the other MLBB regions?
26:16.0
I will hype it up first.
26:19.0
And then you go ahead and explain.
26:22.0
So, Luis, we are getting near the end of our talk.
26:27.0
But let's move on to our next topic.
26:31.0
Every guest of the podcast, they did this.
26:34.0
But for you, this is going to be different.
26:39.0
For this one, we will ask Luis to help us categorize the M5 regions
26:46.0
based on the categories that Naisu will explain to you.
26:52.0
It's so different from you doing it.
26:54.0
So, again, for our Filipino viewers, this is not the Nakaka Expressway.
27:00.0
So, it's different this time.
27:02.0
We're going to do it different this time with Luis.
27:05.0
So, Luis, I will first explain the three categories for you and for our listeners.
27:11.0
And then you can go ahead.
27:13.0
Even if it's just three regions or teams for each category, we can do that too.
27:19.0
But just for the explanation, to break it down for the listeners out there,
27:23.0
the categories that we have are world's best, right?
27:28.0
So, these world's best will be the teams and regions who are title contenders.
27:33.0
The best of the best, and they will likely finish top three, right?
27:37.0
Next category would be the challengers.
27:40.0
So, these teams could be the best, but they still have to prove that they're worth,
27:45.0
basically, in the international stage.
27:47.0
So, maybe they get top four or top five or somewhere around there.
27:51.0
And then the third category, the last category, is the happy to be there.
27:56.0
Those teams, man, they're just happy to be in the Philippines in an M Series.
28:01.0
So, those are the three categories.
28:03.0
Again, the world's best, the challengers, and the happy to be there.
28:06.0
Luis, go ahead and categorize three teams for each category there.
28:11.0
Okay, I think world's best is RRQ-PH.
28:19.0
In this NPL-PH, I think Bren will go ahead.
28:28.0
Okay, so three teams.
28:30.0
Three teams, world's best, yeah.
28:33.0
RRQ-Bren from the Philippines, and RRQ-Hoshi from India.
28:43.0
So, our next category for the challengers.
28:47.0
You can do three for that as well.
28:50.0
I think the challengers is Oniki Indonesia,
28:57.0
NEA, the team of whom?
29:00.0
Yeah, the Ohio Brothers.
29:05.0
This is their name.
29:06.0
I don't remember now.
29:11.0
I think the team of Malaysia, RSG.
29:17.0
I think RSG, go ahead.
29:20.0
You're telling me you don't think you're a challenger, Luis?
29:22.0
You guys are not a challenger?
29:26.0
I think, I think.
29:34.0
It was the Ohio Brothers, of course, RRQ-Akira, and then Onik ID.
29:42.0
And the fourth was Demon Kite's team.
29:46.0
Yeah, my bro, Demon Kite's my bro.
29:49.0
Yeah, Demon Kite.
29:51.0
Are you bros with Demon Kite?
29:55.0
He's watching this right now.
29:57.0
He's watching this.
30:03.0
So, then our last category, Luis.
30:05.0
The happy to be here.
30:07.0
Just three teams, if you want, that are just happy to be in the Philippines Grand Finals.
30:33.0
But I don't know the teams because I don't see these championships.
30:37.0
Like, NPL Man, NPL Cambodia, I don't see.
30:41.0
I only see NPL PH in Indonesia and a little bit of Malaysia.
30:46.0
Well, for like Cambodia, they finished this week, I think.
30:49.0
So, like, they don't have a specific team just yet, but they'll be finishing like some
30:54.0
of their playoffs and stuff.
30:55.0
A lot of playoffs.
30:56.0
Actually, a lot of playoffs finished this week, I think.
31:00.0
I think this week and next week.
31:04.0
Only PH now, I think.
31:07.0
Philippines is later.
31:09.0
Ours will end at the end of October.
31:16.0
The timeline is so tight.
31:17.0
I think we were the latest start, too.
31:18.0
Something like that.
31:20.0
Because I think before M5, we also have NPL I.
31:25.0
So teams are preparing for that.
31:27.0
So we have our tier list for Luis.
31:30.0
We've got our categories.
31:34.0
And, Benji, I'll let you ask him the next one.
31:38.0
I'm so used to doing this one.
31:40.0
I'll let you do it.
31:42.0
So now that we've categorized all of your tiering for M5, let's now take a look at
31:49.0
the bigger picture.
31:51.0
As M5 Rosnir, how do you think that these teams, particularly those who are world's
31:58.0
best, so you said Echo, RQ, and Bren.
32:03.0
Well, how do you think these teams can pair up against the Filipino teams?
32:12.0
So, for example, it's basically that you're saying Echo and Bren will represent M5.
32:19.0
And the other teams that you mentioned, how are these teams can go up against the Filipino representatives?
32:28.0
I think you can also put the challengers here, too.
32:31.0
Yeah, you can put the challengers.
32:32.0
Even you guys, like RQ, Kira.
32:34.0
How do you guys think you'll do?
32:36.0
But I think Echo is the most strong team.
32:43.0
We want to play against all the teams because it's like my friend Luna of OTAK says,
32:52.0
if you want to be a champion, you don't choose your opponents.
32:57.0
So I'm prepared to face anything.
33:04.0
How do you say that in Portuguese?
33:08.0
If you want to be a champion, don't choose your opponent.
33:11.0
It's like, if you want to be a champion, you can't choose your opponent.
33:19.0
There you have it.
33:20.0
Boom, that's the caption.
33:21.0
I understand. I understand all of that.
33:24.0
You understand? Okay.
33:30.0
Here's a part to follow up on that, Luis.
33:34.0
And this can feel free to explain if you want, but Fearless Forecast.
33:41.0
What place will you guys finish?
33:45.0
Well, Brazil, let's say even just, I mean, since you guys got two teams,
33:49.0
what place will Brazil finish in M5?
33:54.0
We're going with the off winning, obviously.
33:57.0
But I think a top three would make me extremely happy and proud for my team.
34:05.0
We're going to win, yeah.
34:06.0
Yeah, there you go.
34:07.0
I don't travel 25 hours to lose.
34:16.0
You don't travel on a plane for 22 hours when you're afraid of flying to lose.
34:24.0
Third place, bro. Third place.
34:31.0
What does that mean, bro?
34:34.0
They're aiming at least third place and road to the championship.
34:41.0
Why would I lose, right?
34:43.0
Might as well be a champion and eat balut.
34:49.0
All right, there you have it.
34:50.0
Thank you so much.
34:51.0
Thank you so much for your thoughts, Luis.
34:53.0
Any final messages?
34:56.0
Final messages to the kingdom and to your fans, of course.
35:01.0
How I can say thank you in PH?
35:06.0
Maraming salamat.
35:11.0
Maraming salamat.
35:14.0
Maraming salamat.
35:16.0
Salamat is like salamat in Indonesian.
35:20.0
Maraming salamat.
35:23.0
And thank you for my team to secure the M5 slot.
35:29.0
And let's go, let's go.
35:31.0
We are very excited to meet PH.
35:36.0
You can speak in Portuguese if you want to shout out your fans.
35:43.0
I want to thank everyone who cheered for us on the podcast.
35:50.0
I'm happy to meet them here in the Philippines.
35:54.0
They cheered for us on the M5.
36:03.0
Thank you so much for joining us.
36:05.0
I know we're in crazy time zones right now.
36:08.0
But thank you for taking the time out of your day.
36:11.0

36:14.0
Hopefully, you get to relax a little bit after you guys are done with your league.
36:19.0

37:08.0
I got a nosebleed, guys.
