The vct americas scene is heating up—and not in the way Brazil hoped. MIBR is spiraling, top players are publicly criticizing Riot, and playoff dreams are fading fast. From explosive reactions to broken fundamentals, the region is on edge and TacticalRab has laid it all out in his latest breakdown.

Here’s what went down in one of the most chaotic weeks of the season.

MIBR in Freefall: FNS and Fans Sound the Alarm

After an embarrassing 13-8 and 13-3 loss to Leviatán, the writing is on the wall: MIBR is in serious trouble. Once considered Brazil’s most promising team, they’ve gone from top-three last stage to 0-2 and near elimination this split.

According to FNS, something is fundamentally broken—and it’s not just about in-game tactics. He suggested the issues may be deeper, including:

  • No team coordination
  • Constant solo plays and poor communication
  • Players not even taking fights together

FNS didn’t hold back:

“They’re not even doing the basic stuff right. This team is chalked.”

And honestly, he might be right. With remaining matches against 100 Thieves, NRG, and LOUD, the road ahead only gets harder.

Brazil’s Scene in Crisis: Is Riot to Blame?

This collapse has reignited a larger debate:
Has Riot failed Brazil and LATAM as a region?

Players and fans have been vocal:

“Visa issues, no scrim access, young players not being signed, no development. Riot is killing the region.”

The criticism is loud and clear:

  • Brazilian orgs are hesitant to invest
  • No franchising or infrastructure at home
  • Loss of talent to other regions

And when aspas, one of Brazil’s brightest stars, ends a match with a .59 rating, you know something’s off.

Frost (Talon Head Coach) Responds: Don’t Blame Riot, Fix the System

Frost, head coach of Talon Esports and former FURIA coach, clapped back hard:

“Pacific has scrim access and made it work. Brazil has the talent. The issue is poor management, training, and lack of external help.”

He added that after leaving FURIA, they went downhill fast while he helped Thailand qualify for Champions. His message? The talent is there—but the system is failing them.

Durka Blasts Riot Over Game Features

While Brazil burns, Durka took aim at Riot’s lack of QoL improvements in VALORANT, posting a wishlist that many pros agree with:

  • Remove remake abuse
  • Bring back Retake and After Plant modes
  • Add dummy bots in custom games for utility practice
  • Let players enter the range while queuing ranked
  • Add a search bar for skins/buddies
  • Introduce RR decay to prevent leaderboard smurfing

“The shooting range has been the same since beta. Why can’t we fix these basic things?”

It’s a scathing but fair critique—and one Riot would be wise to acknowledge.

China’s VCT: Wolves Cling to Hope, XLG Upsets FPX

Over in the Chinese scene:

  • Wolves finally got their first win, keeping playoff hopes alive. But they need DRG to lose to XLG in the final group game.
  • XLG shocked FPX 2-0, with a tight 14-12 Sunset finish.

The playoff picture in China is still wide open, but Wolves are on thin ice.

Standings Snapshot: Americas Looking Rough

MIBR sits at 0-2, along with FURIA. And with matches left against 100T, NRG, and LOUD, it’s hard to see how they claw their way back.

Cloud9 took down EG 13-7 and 13-10, showing flashes of brilliance. But for teams like MIBR and FURIA, the Champions dream may already be dead.

Final Thoughts

The drama in VALORANT is peaking across the board—whether it’s Brazilian turmoil, missing Riot features, or tight playoff races, every region has something to fight for.

But for MIBR, things look grim. With even players like FNS and Aspas acknowledging the cracks, it may take more than a miracle to salvage their season—or their region.
