I don't really blame the haters, it is very hard to trust some good player from Brazil when you know their behavior patterns (i.e cheat, evade ban and change nicknames), the fact that we have crazy dynamic pings over here does not help, you never know who you playing against. For example: I was almost banned the other day playing with an alias because ppl were saying I was in fact that Plenas guy
So I hate to say it 1Cap but, the Brazilians are the ones to blame here. I never cheated nor congregated with known cheaters, always played with the same nickname, have been in the same clan for 5 years now and let me say here that I have never, not one time, felt any prejudice against me on the account I'm from Brazil, whoever dislikes me here does not fell this way because of where I was born (most likely they do it because I can be a dick).
I'm sorry but, if a particular group of people cheat and exploit a system/community they will not be welcome, is that simple. And the problem would be xenophobia, racism is an whole different thing and really does not apply for this case.
I agree with this 100%. I have absolutely 0 problem playing vs Brazilians as long as they are clean. Players like LeXuS are still around and are still playing inters afaik. His dynamic IP makes him very hard to track; and when you do he'll connect 10 minutes later with a VPN and a different name. Most notably, he uses the O3 tag. Along with his cheating friends. It makes trusting Brazilians really hard.
To say this is "racism" though is way overboard. Frankly, it's nowhere near. I also believe in second chances and have little to no problem playing with them as long as they serve their punishment (Host@, Jorik, Xenon etc) but repetitive cheats have no place in our community for me. I understand its frustating to be labelled "possible hacker" because of your nationality, but you can more or less where people are coming from with all these repeat cheats. (LeXuS, Plenas, FeeH)
