Competitive gaming fans just saw a major upset as RED Canids clinched a stunning victory. They powered through paiN Gaming with a perfect 3-0 sweep in a best-of-five series this Saturday. This win means a lot, especially after RED Canids had a tough road through the lower bracket of the LTA Sul, a major League of Legends tournament.
Just the day before, on Friday, RED Canids secured a hard-fought 3-2 win against LOUD. This momentum carried them into the match against paiN Gaming, a team that had previously sent them to the lower bracket. That earlier loss by RED Canids made this win even sweeter, a true comeback story for the team known as “the pack.”
One player really stood out: Natan “fNb” Braz, the top laner for RED Canids. He played champions like Renekton, K’Sante, and Rumble during the games. His performance was exceptional, ending with a KDA of 17 kills, 11 deaths, and 27 assists. He was involved in 63.8% of his team’s total takedowns, showing his impact on the series.
hoje não alcançamos a final da LTA Sul. O split foi marcado por inconstância, e o jogo de hoje refletiu essa trajetória.
seguimos no competitivo: na próxima semana disputaremos o Cross Conference. Obrigado, paiNzetes, por estarem SEMPRE com a gente! Vocês merecem mais 🖤… pic.twitter.com/2y8LrD0mcj
