Since 2014, eSports champions have a guaranteed presence in the Brasil Game Cup. The competition is one of the most prestigious second tier CS:GO tournaments in Brazil. This year, the tournament includes 8 teams split into two groups. In the group stage, teams are playing in a best of one format. The two top teams from each group will advance to the semifinals. From then onward, each match will follow the best of three series.

The group stages have already kicked off. Team Virtue and INTZ have already secured their spot in the final for Group A. Meanwhile, the remaining two places are yet to be decided from Group B. Virtue are the favorites to take home the title since they have yet to drop a single game in the competition. INTZ have won two of their three games played. Group B, on the other hand, is quite tight. With only two spots to fight for, three teams are in contention for qualification. On Tuesday, we will have our top four teams that will be competing in the semifinals.

YeaH! Vs C4 Gaming (Brasil Game Cup 2018, August 07, Tuesday)

Although recognized as one of the best second-tier CS: GO teams in Brazil, C4 is having a terrible competition. The team has lost both of their games so far and are dead last in Group B. This will be their last game and no matter the outcome of the match, they will be eliminated from the tournament. The terrible performance of C4 is quite complicated to explain. Before this competition, the lineup won 12 of 14 matches played.

They surprisingly lost to W7M on Inferno, the map which they have played the most as a competitive side. The team might just need time to get things going. They are getting eliminated from this competition, but in ESEA and AlienwareLiga the team is going strong. In both of these competitions, this talented lineup has not lost a single game. So, they are learning from their mistakes and should get back to their winning ways.

YeaH!

In contrast to C4, YeaH! has high hopes to qualify for the semifinals. YeaH!, alongside Brasil Gaming House, have won one of their games. Both teams are sitting at three points. So, the team that wins its next game with a better margin qualifies for the semi-final. YeaH! Gaming’s lineup is having a roller coaster season so far. They have beaten some of the strongest teams but have also lost to some of the weakest teams in the region.

The team had a decent showing at the ESEA but lost their first game in the knockout stages. Meanwhile, their opponent has made their way to the semifinals. C4 has also made better progress in the AlienwareLiga. So, despite the losing form of C4 at the Game Cup, this meeting is tough for YeaH. Keep in mind if they lose this game or win it by a too small of a margin, they will be eliminated. These teams have met three times in 2018 and with the same lineup, YeaH! has beaten C4 twice.

This meeting has so much on the line for YeaH! and despite have a weak showing in the competition, C4 has a strong chance of beating them. C4 has nothing to lose, therefore will they give their everything in the match in order to capitalize on any YeaH! weaknesses.
