The two have been teammates for much of their Overwatch careers, most notably on the dominant Brasil Gaming House squad. In five seasons of Contenders South America play, they have won four titles together. They only failed to win the title in 2018 Season 3, when they finished second.
They also both represented the Brazilian national team in the World Cup in both 2018 and 2019. liko also represented the Brazilian World Cup team in 2017.
They began as rivals. liko was a member of Brasil Gaming House as far back as March of 2017 and quickly worked with his teammates to carve out a reputation as the best team in South America. Their next closest competitors were Keep Gaming. honorato left Keep Gaming in September of 2017 to join liko on Brasil Gaming House.
South American players have had limited opportunities to leave the region in search of more stable opportunities in the Overwatch landscape. Brazilian main support alemao was a member of the Boston Uprising in 2019 and Argentinean DPS klaus was a member of Uprising Academy in 2019. Both players have been teammates of liko and honorato at various points in their careers. Currently, Argentinean DPS valen is a member of Skyfoxes.
Despite their success within the South American region, the two players never found teams outside of the continent. They played in few tournaments where they had the opportunity to play against teams and players from outside of their region.
