Brazil’s commanding lead in the Americas’ e-sports

By admin — In News — July 16, 2026

   ​Launched on April 15 with eFootball Console, the Nations League consists of a three-week season of competitions for each of the titles in which the Brazilian eNational Team competes within FIFA’s eSports competition pool.In each of those weeks, the Brazilian athletes competed against our continental neighbors for a spot in the Continental, which will take place on the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd at the Nave do Conhecimento in Rio de Janeiro. The races for qualification were based on the Weekly Ranking, which awarded points toward the Consistency Ranking, and the Week 3 title, which granted the champion a direct spot in the competition.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementEach stage was split into two days, with the first date being the group stage, in which everyone faced each other, and the following day the knockout stage. In Week 3, with the direct-qualification spot in play, the system used on Day 2 was Upper and Lower: the team that lost had one more chance to come back, now through the lower bracket.“It was a complex competition; there was a lot of logistics, training, and study involved during this period. A broader competition gives you greater opportunities, but it also makes analysis, study, and planning ultra-important so that we can achieve good results,” said eBrazil Manager Diego GuapoThe Week 3 Rocket League bracket shows how the Upper and Lower system works, widely used in the eSports sceneCredits: Reproduction / FIFA.ggAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFor the public, it was an opportunity to see the great players of the South American scene from all three titles in action, as Guerreiro (digital commentator for eFootball) said. “Seeing so many great players competing in thrilling matches like those of the three weeks of eNations is great for the audience, which rarely gets the chance to see these athletes face each other at a high level while representing their countries.”There were 1,164,127 broadcast impressions on the CBF YouTube channel alone, significant numbers considering that much of the competition took place during the World Cup period, when the world’s attention is focused on “real football,” as Dedeco (Digital Football YouTuber) pointed out. “The world was looking for real football content, but eBrazil, with its great players, managed to bring in a large share of those numbers during the broadcasts we did on eNations nights. We could feel the community consuming the matches and seeking to understand the competition more and more, which may once again bring the title to Brazil in the title.”Duds Melow (creator for FURIA and eBrazil) echoed that. “Seeing this FURIA Rocket League team wearing the Yellow Jersey only makes the connection with the community even stronger, since as a team they are already regarded as the cream of Brazilian talent. It only reinforces the reality that this team can once again go far in the global competition, which would be fantastic for the SAM (South America) community.
