bizarro o qnt esses caras estão forçando pra acabar com o campeonato, não sabem a diferença de um pro player pra um criador de conteúdo que é BOM alguém tem q avisar q “open qualify” qualquer um poderia jogar, e msm assim foi em 2019 (SETE ANOS ATRÁS)… tão passando vergonha já #Gaming #Competição #ProPlayer

Impressionante o quanto a comunidade de FIFA ODEIA ver outras pessoas criando um bom conteúdo, se não podem participar, na cabeça deles tem que tentar de tudo pra sabotar. Ao invés de tentarem aproveitar o Hype pra criar algo próprio, ou trazer a ideia pro Coringa em uma próxima edição, eles preferem sair se queimando e mostrando pra todo o público geral que não conhece sobre o cenário, o motivo porque nada na comunidade deles funciona. Ter jogado um OPEN QUALIFY em DOIS MIL E DEZENOVE , vulgo SETE!!! anos atrás, para criar conteúdo, aparentemente significa que o Senhor Allan Rodrigues é Pro Player. Essa “Inveja” de não poder participar, mostra exatamente o porquê eles não deveriam. Não conseguem esconder o ego do tamanho de um elefante nem antes do campeonato, imagina na hora de jogar então… #FIFA #GamingCommunity #ContentCreation

🚨Yuri22 ligou para o responsável pelo Raio-X do campeonato de Pro Clubs dos influenciadores, e o clima ficou tenso! • AllanStag foi citado por ter disputado um qualify em 2019 e, na visão dele, não poderia jogar, usando o mesmo critério que querem usar para barrar o Peu MC. • GBR também foi um dos citados pelo Peu MC durante a argumentação sobre os critérios do Raio-X. • Ele também questionou se todos os jogadores do time precisam fazer live. #ProClubs #Gaming #Influencers

Michaeli also makes history as the first female Army officer to qualify for the Grand Prix. Congratulations also to her groom, Pte Caitlin King! 👏 #WomenInTheMilitary #GrandPrix #BreakingBarriers #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
