Brazil's Rocket League team beat Chile, take FIFAe Nations week 1

Brazil’s Rocket League eNational Team lived up to expectations, beat Chile in the final, and won Week 1 of the FIFAe Nations League Qualifiers. The result highlights Brazil’s strength in the discipline, even during a gameplay transition period in which coach Brunovisqui has been implementing new plays for the trio of Lostt, Yanxnz, and Swiftt. Rocket League Week 2 matches will take place on June 3 and 4.

After opening with two blowout wins over Bolivia on the first day, Brazil was set to start finals day against the same opponent. However, the Bolivian team did not show up in the lobby and was disqualified by walkover, giving the eNational Team the chance to watch the semifinal between Chile and Argentina, which was won by the Chileans.

In the final, more rested, Brazil had no trouble closing out the best-of-five series with three straight wins: 3-2, 5-1, and 3-0, scores that secured the Canarinho’s first trophy of the season.

For coach Brunovisqui, the result shows that the eNational Team is on the rise after the gameplay adjustments made at the start of the season. “We already had a very solid way of playing, but we saw that it wasn’t 100% comfortable for the players. We’re looking for ways to make matches simpler for us. I think we still have a lot of room to grow,” he said.

The search for the comfort mentioned by the coach was reflected in the Brazilian team’s composed approach in the finals, a decisive factor in achieving nine matches and nine wins. “I think our main virtue is calmness. We know our team is better, we’ve already shown that outside and now in this competition. We were able to stick to our game, and that’s the main thing in reaching 100%,” said Lostt.
