BESTIA and Fluxo are now joint-tenth in the Americas VRS following the conclusion of Circuit X Curitiba on Sunday, just 14 Valve points from the qualification zone for the Singapore Major.
Playing their first LAN event since adding André "drop" Abreu and Kaue "kauez" Kaschuk, BESTIA lost just one match — a 0-2 defeat to Galorys in the group stage — en route to the title. They picked up 204 points from their winning run, with drop named the MVP of the tournament by Dust2 Brasil.
"It's really cool," he said after the final. "I never thought I'd win an MVP medal because of my role, but I'm happy I was able to help the team, too.
"At the end of the day, stats are a little bit irrelevant when you think about the success of the team. But, of course, I'm very happy to have this individual achievement, which proves that, at this early stage, I'm moving in the right direction."
After finishing second to ShindeN in Group C, Fluxo upset top seed paiN in the quarter-finals. They went on to lose to Bounty Hunters in the semi-finals before exacting revenge on ShindeN in the third-place decider.
paiN picked up 14 Valve points from the event, but it marked yet another missed chance to solidify their position in the rankings.
Rodrigo "biguzera" Bittencourt's charges will now turn their attention to FERJEE In House (September 23-27), where Imperial and Bounty Hunters are expected to be their main threats for the title.
BESTIA and Fluxo, meanwhile, will continue their Major qualification run abroad. BESTIA will fly to the United States to play at iBUYPOWER Masters FML, while Fluxo will travel to Portugal to compete at LEON.bet Masters Season 1.
