Brazilian esports teams experienced mixed results at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 as two major contenders were eliminated while one secured advancement to the next stage of the Counter-Strike 2 tournament.
Legacy, a highly anticipated Brazilian squad, was knocked out of the competition after a decisive loss to PARIVISION in a hard-fought series on Thursday, November 27, 2025. The final match against PARIVISION went to overtime on Dust2, with Legacy ultimately falling 19-16.
PARIVISION claimed the first map, Ancient, with a 13-9 score. Legacy then rallied to win Inferno 13-5, forcing the series to the decisive third map.
Legacy expressed gratitude to their supporters following their exit.
