The Libertadores semi-final is already with us, but it seems that this is not the only competition between South American teams that is captivating the public. Last week, the streamer Brazilian Santos Masinha went viral on Twitch with the Roblox Cup.
The competition takes place in a simulated reality game and is attended by narrators, commentators, fans and sponsors, as well as, of course, Brazilian, Argentine and Ecuadorian teams, such as CorinthiansSo Paulo, River Plate, Boca Juniors and the League (LDU) of Quito. In total, 16 teams compete in knockout games.
The popularity of the Roblox Cup was so great that, in recent days, the sports press has provided complete coverage of the tournament, which was even broadcast in Argentine bars! The official profile of the World Cup on X (old Twitter) already has more than 123 thousand followers, including streamer and sports presenter Casimiro Miguel, owner of CazTVwho has been following the competitions on Roblox for a while and even regretted when his favorite team, Vasco da Gama, lost the Copa do Brasil in the game.
The dispute remains fierce for the semi-final, with Corinthians facing Boca Juniors and Botafogo trying to defeat Racing in search of a place in the grand final.
