For the next member of the crew, we are flying a bit further: in BRAZIL!!
"My name is Aluísio Cervelle Santos, but I usually go by my own name, or in BGA by my initials: “AluisioCSantos” 
I got the game at ComicCon Experience at the end of 2015, thinking it was a mixup of Magic and Final Fantasy Tactics, which is the best FF game. back then I didn't know it was a competitive game, and played for about a year at home, promoting Draft-style mini-tournaments between my friends.
In 2017 hough I learned about the competitive scene in São Paulo and joined a few myself. Together with friends and my brother we founded the KrosSP team, which was very competitive focused, thinking up a lot of teams, synergies, with also very different playstyles in each player, which was exciting, and we used the team banner to promote tournaments ever since.
That year was the first time we had Qts and an Open tournament, which really moved the community, with players from 5 different regions from Brazil, and I took the cup with my favorite mini, Black Crow. The next year I was lucky enough to repeat the feat and turned into a bi-champion of the game in Brazil.
Even after 2018, we kept making our own tournaments (2018 was the last Open, which we played the Worlds in 2020) and keeping the community ever-growing and active, which is my true biggest achievement, making partnerships to bring the Copa Paulista, with custom cards and formats, and so on, and I can only thank my brother, friends and the community for everything that has happened both to me and around me.
Hopefully, we can keep everything in track once Covid winds down, even though we still hold BGA tournaments for the community and also some contests.
The São Paulo community is a very friendly and open one, really inviting new players to both learn to play and to complete their collection. They are also very good sporting players all around. "
