The result puts the team in the main draw decision. The grand final is scheduled for 19 July. The winner receives R$4,000.

Paquetá has been investing in eSports since 2019 with an organization focused on Valve's shooting game championships. According to the official page on social networks, the team began at the bottom, starting the trajectory in Gamers Club tournaments.

Months later, Paquetá also showed support for the organization of André Akkari, Brazilian poker star, wearing the team's shirt together with aces from Brazil’s football national team.
