One of the prominent esports organizations of Brazil, Netshoes Miners, announced its entry into League of Legends: Wild Rift. The team will be participating in the upcoming Wild Tour Brazil (WTB) 2022 Season 1, the official Wild Rift esports circuit for the region.

The Executive Director of Netshoes Miners, Danielle Maiolini, believes that the team’s entry into the Wild Rift esports scene in Brazil will greatly benefit both his team and the growth of the esports scene in the region.
“The new team will add even more interaction and affinity with the Brazilian gamer community, which is growing more and more in the country,” stated Danielle Maiolini, as quoted by Jovemnerd.com.
Wild Tour Brazil 2022 Season 1 will commence soon
The upcoming WTB 2022 Season 1 will kick off with its group stage on 18th Feb. 12 teams will be divided into two groups where the top four teams from each group will advance to the playoffs stage. The dominant team that takes the championship title in the WTB 2022 Season 1 will earn the right to participate in the upcoming Wild Rift Icons Global Championship 2022.
The tournament was originally planned to take place at a physical location in São Paulo, Brazil, but due to the new wave of COVID-19 cases in the region, the tournament has been shifted to an online format. Needless to say, fans can still tune in to the action as the WTB 2022 Season 1 will be broadcasted live on the official YouTube Channel of Wild Rift Brazil.
