The player RiuT has just joined the KGB Team, as announced in stream held this Monday, March 29th. He will reinforce the team that includes F1Re and GoKu, who recently joined, and Alive, one of the legends of Age of Empires 2 and who has been playing the Definitive Edition since last year, in addition to other players.

“It all started during the Hidden Cup 4 weekend. [During] the GoKu stream, with information from the KGB, with his input and F1Re's got me a lot of attention. But what caught my eye was the growth plan of the Brazilian community that the clan presented”, explained RiuT, who met Azzzaa, CEO of the team since the beginning of this year, through GoKu himself.

Asked what he intends to do with the team, RiuT replied: “First, and most importantly, have fun. I realized that on my return last year, I was looking to compete and return to the top level, but I could not reconcile with work and social life, and the failure in that goal only stressed me. So, here, I want to take it easy on myself, stream a lot, play team games with people, and have fun, always contributing to the clan core of growing the Brazilian community”.

Regarding the relationship with the KGB, RiuT spoke: “From the moment I started my path in the world of Age of Empires, the KGB has always been the clan that I most admired. I had the opportunity to face some of them at my young age and that was excellent for my maturity in the game. It is an honor to be part of this tag, especially alongside legends such as: Alive, Logan, Leo ‘God’ (ex-clan companion), among others”.

RiuT has played for Revenge of Knight, Lords of Skulls and BrazuKas, but the main team he represented was TyRanT, playing alongside TheViper, Slam, DauT, BacT, Jidba, JorDan_23 and F1Re. He recently joined Infinity Legends, which features Chris, Capoch and BacT. “The clan was created seeking to bring a strong name on the competitive scene, to fight with GamerLegion, WWP, Finland, etc., with ‘legends’ who were without a clan. However, it is difficult to create such a clan without a solid foundation of friendship, without a leader behind, etc. So, I believe that this ended up discouraging some players”, explained RiuT about the situation with iL.

Nations Cup 2009, The Brain Champion Cup #3, Top Experts League #3 and Clan Masters: Invitational were some of the championships that RiuT won, either individually or as a team.

So it's basically the Brazil B team from Nations Cup ( they were called A back then but 2nd best Brazil in theory won the whole thing which makes them better - A ).

I would love to see Riut go full time again. I’m sure he has his reasons not to but I have no doubt he would be challenging for top-8 in major events in a short period of time.

Seems a bit weird cuz he did say on stream "[...]Yes Jordan is an inspiration, that's the reason why I came back. I will try to be in my best shape again[...]"

A little surprised, I thought riut disappeared, but seeing this news, I am happy for him and KGB.

Would we see the old classic Tyrant Legends vs Tyrant Warlords again someday?

To those who don't know, the two TyRanT clans faced each other in the finals of War is Coming(2015) and it was EPIC! (Legends: DauT, Viper, Jordan and KKab and Warlords: RiuT, Slam, F1Re, BacT)

The good old days when I was young and saw this with Memb+K4stuni casting!

Hope riut is back for real, I was very excited and happy since not so long ago he joined infinity legends, but now he is KGB, sadly when you see those changes that quick, doesn’t looks too serious to me anymore, hope I’m wrong and this time riut really come back, he was top 3-5 player for sure so...

He's back for real but not to be in the top5. As he mentioned in his interview he will be playing to have fun, more live streams to talk to his viewers. In summary, take the game as a hobby. This is part of the vision of KGB.

well nothing diferent then, he was already doing that, just KGB instead of infinity legends.

I'm pleased you understood . Also, the difference between il and kgb for RiuT is that in kgb he has his childhood friends.

The game has become ultra-competitive. Part timers are getting squeezed out of the top rankings by the full timers.

Yeah, so he realized that it would be better to go back to playing without worrying so much about being the best again, but rather to have fun and help the Brazilian community. =)

Another day, another clan...
Unless he/they commit 100% full-time, he/they will not see their glory days. PERIOD.

Can Riut rise to the top? Yes.

Will he? IMO, no.
Don't see the time-commitment like that of the likes of Hera et al. Neither I see him quitting whatever he is doing right now to go full time, aka Jordan.

I'll be glad to be proven otherwise.

Well, I don't if you read everything but he said: "First, and most importantly, have fun. I realized that on my return last year, I was looking to compete and return to the top level, but I could not reconcile with work and social life, and the failure in that goal only stressed me.

Not everyone has the possibility to be like Hera, and a few players in this community, to spend hours and hours playing, because not everyone works as a player. RiuT, and some others, still has great gameplay level to create good content in a stream, help people who is starting at this game and be part of the community.

I don't think it is too hard to understand that part of the article when he said now he wants to have fun and help in some way.

About the text itself, I'm just trying to bring the information for everyone here because I think people here would like to know about RiuT' steps now.

Fair enough. Maybe I was too critical on my assessment. Wish him the best

If Riut continues to be a constant presence in whichever form he wants to be (fun or competetive), it will be a win for the game and community.

That being said, I hope there are many TG tournaments in future that will even the field wrt to mere 1v1 rating...

 

[green eggs]

People getting all judgy because a guy isn't quitting his job to play a video game full time, what a world.

 

[SouFire]

riut has been active for years, playing but not really trying to get in top again, so let the man have fun with his friends, he defeated daut once and became a top 3 in 1x1(+10 years ago) and an amazing tg player and best brazlian until late 2015, i think miguel and dogao are really ahead from current riut, what really susprises me is that in all these years hasn't appeared a new brazilian top player it seems like the game is no longer popular in that region.
