Hometown heartbreak: Brazilian CS:GO legend crashes out of home tournament in straight sets

The ‘Godfather of Counter-Strike’ Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo and his CS:GO squad Imperial have come up short at IEM Rio, exiting the squad’s home event in straight losses to Ninjas in Pyjamas and The MongolZ on day one.

The squad was a late replacement for Russian team Virtus.pro, who chose to withdraw from Rio after failing to qualify for the BLAST Paris Major at the Europe RMR. The delight of home fans, however, was short-lived.
