Biguzera’s Unique Prep Helped paiN Gaming Make History
The paiN Gaming team, led by Rodrigo “biguzera” Bittencourt, achieved a historic first by qualifying for the playoffs of a Counter-Strike 2 Major. When asked about the team’s success, biguzera revealed that it wasn’t just about the usual strategies and tactics. He shared that during their training in Brazil, he took a unique approach to clear his mind – a bath with coarse salt.

Biguzera explained that after the bath, the team started to gain momentum, coming back from 0-2 to 3-2 in their matches. He acknowledged that it might be a coincidence, but the team’s performance improved significantly after that.
From Low to High

He reminded his teammates that they had lost to good teams and that it was normal. With renewed energy, they started winning, gaining strength with each victory.

Now, paiN Gaming is set to face FURIA in the quarterfinals, a classic Brazilian matchup that guarantees at least one Brazilian team in the top 4. Biguzera is looking forward to the match, stating that he wants to enjoy the moment and the playoff atmosphere, and may the best team win.
The match is scheduled for this Thursday, June 19th, at 16:00 (BrasÃlia time). The BLAST.tv Austin Major has brought excitement to the world of Counter-Strike 2, and paiN Gaming’s achievement is a testament to their dedication and unique approach to the game.
