LOUD Romanilly recalled that he started competing at 13 years old in CC3, playing Counter. He mentioned that his parents would wait for him in the early morning while he played, and that people like Gonzab, Fanty, and other community members welcomed him and taught him basic concepts of shooting games. At 15, he traveled for the first time to Rosario to compete in a .NET Cup, after convincing his parents to let him go with people they didn't know. He recounted that at first his team didn't win matches and that he faced criticism, but he continued competing and eventually played in some of the best Counter teams in Córdoba. Later, he switched to League of Legends, where he had his first international experiences, won tournaments, and received his first competitive salary. Then he took some time to think about his future and, during the pandemic, started playing Valorant. Romanilly said that after reconnecting with former Counter teammates and starting to compete in Valorant, he traveled to Brazil. He stated that for two years his team along with 9z became the best in the region. After a phase he described as turbulent, he joined Xolos, with whom he won all the regional tournaments and achieved one of the longest unbeaten streaks in the world, although, as he said, the team ran out of energy in the end. This year he joined LOUD, the Brazilian team he described as the biggest in the country. He mentioned that the start of the season was difficult, but the team made it to Shanghai after qualifying in Brazil and was one map away from winning the championship of America. He added that, 30 days later, he lifted the world cup. In his reflection, Romanilly said that the title represented the journey and the people who accompanied him, and thanked those who, as he wrote, made his journey possible. He also encouraged those pursuing a dream to trust themselves and surround themselves with the right people, despite the obstacles. #CounterStrike #LeagueofLegends #Valorant (translated)

Júlio Schneider wrote that people of faith could continue to pray and attend church while losing the desire to know Jesus more deeply. He stated that God was calling them to grow and mature, and compared this process to that of a tree that takes root and goes through difficult periods before bearing fruit. Schneider said that spiritual growth did not always involve extraordinary experiences and could manifest in attitudes such as forgiving, trusting, and continuing to love. In a prayer, he asked that the years make him more humble, generous, and like Jesus, and that others would recognize the light of God in his life. He also encouraged readers to share the prayer and said he would post a link to it on YouTube. #Fé #CrescimentoEspiritual #AmorDeDeus (translated)

ALK4PON3 wrote that Dedsafio 4 had ended and that, although some had marked it for controversies and toxicity, those criticisms were directed at its creators and not at the production work. He praised Eufonia for the dynamics, the cutscenes, the role-playing experiences, and the ambiance of the event. The author attributed to Ded the influence that had led many people to become interested in streaming, role-playing, and event creation. He also stated that Dedsafio had inspired projects like Mitologías, Huevones Show, Guardianes del Dedsafio, and the God of everything, within the universe created by Eufonia. According to his writing, the organization had invested hundreds of thousands of hours and dollars to offer experiences to the public without them having to pay. ALK4PON3 maintained that this type of series should not focus on numbers or compete over who was better. He said that participating in Dedsafio and collaborating with Mitologías had been rewarding and motivated him to continue creating entertainment. He also encouraged participants and viewers to express their support, as he believed those who had enjoyed the projects were more than those who had not, and that the good moments could outweigh the bad ones. Finally, he anticipated Mitologías 2 and expressed even more enthusiasm for the RPG series after the experience of Dedsafio. He also stated that he was confident that the video game MARGALO developed by Eufonia would be a success. #Dedsafio #Eufonia #streaming (translated)
