The digital sports arena just witnessed a high-stakes showdown. RED Canids Academy faced off against Flamengo Esports in a crucial best-of-five series for the Challenger Circuit. This League of Legends tournament brought intense competition. When the dust settled on Wednesday, Flamengo secured a decisive victory, keeping their championship hopes alive.
Flamengo started strong, quickly taking a two-game lead against the team led by Jean “Mago” Dias. Things looked grim for the Canids. However, the “pack,” as RED Canids is known, didn’t give up easily. They fought back hard in the third and fourth games. This effort tied the series, pushing it to a nail-biting fifth match. Ultimately, Flamengo clinched that final game, winning the series 3-2. The “wolves” of RED Canids were eliminated from the competition.
A fase regular foi muito boa, mas uma série de erros fizeram com que caíssemos para a lower e, hoje, tivéssemos o resultado que tivemos.
Agradecemos à Matilha que sempre esteve aqui, torcendo, apoiando e cobrando. Seguiremos trabalhando para desenvolver nossa base da melhor…

RED Canids Kalunga later shared their thoughts, stating, “The regular phase was very good, but a series of errors caused us to fall to the lower bracket, and today, we had the result we had. We thank the Pack who was always here, cheering, supporting, and demanding. We will continue working to develop our base in the best…” This message underscores the tough nature of esports competition.
