Throughout the Round Robin Brazil was all the time in the qualifying area, these were his positions, round by round:

As you can see Brazil began the last day of the Round Robin in the sixth position, fate decided they finished the day in the 10th position, and so they didnt make it to the Knock Out stage…

Hard to overcome… instead Sweden who started the day in the 10th position, finished in the 8th place and today they are playing the final against Poland …

At the end of the RR, one of the brazilian pairs: Chagas Gabriel – Villas Boas Miguel turned out to be the Butler winner:

brennerBrazil was not discouraged and decided to play the Transnational, at the end of the RR they were among the top 16 from a 230+ teams field. They defeated Bulgaria Seniors in the Round of 16 but were defeated in  Quarterfinals by Bulgaria Open.

An excellent performance, a worthy representative of our Zone 3. CONGRATULATIONS !!!
