Player for S2G Esports, PUBG Mobile champion
“I'm very happy for this achievement, I was kind of playing with them that I was going to steal their MVP award because I was a little behind. In this finals I managed to do pretty well. I’m super thankful for everyone, like my family, the fans, especially the fans that came all the way from Brazil.”
