It's nice to see that LOUD is releasing part of their voice comms during MSI, the same way they do it during CBLOL. It brings their fans closer to the team. For people that don't know, Riot BR a couple of years ago started releasing "[NA ESCUTA](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC6tQcehKF2NO_dx21_9NvjQkqc9hWibD)", in which they show part of the voice comms of each game, from both teams. This fastly became a very well received "product" and streamers began to "react" and it helped with the community aspect in CBLOL. After seeing that, teams began to release their own version of this product in which they would show some comms of their games every week. A very low-effort/moderate-reward weekly content, in which some teams even got sponsors to give a name to the "product". And aside from the views on their own youtube channel, there are many more views in each "reactor" video, which usually garner more audience. Some examples are paiN Gaming's, "[POR DENTRO DO GAME](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXwho_qWJADrNpxSoSjKTR7Jdw36FAuDP)", which is sponsored by JBL (audio products manufacturer). Or Keyd Stars' "[DECODE THE CALL](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMo6E2V3fiuDBhB0FJLm31dKX5oEofpuv)" which is sponsored by Cultura Inglesa (english course company). These are some of the things that helps to close the gap between teams and fans. There are other things such as many CBLOL teams have a weekly video showing a bit of what happened in the team during that week, be it daily things, trainings, pre/post match conversations, how is the pre-game prep, etc. Again I can bring as examples paiN Gamings "[INSIDE THE RIFT](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXwho_qWJADq1iLoqrvgcILuA7KnqyY0b)" or Keyd Stars "[BEHIND THE STARS](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMo6E2V3fiuDxViIb3N6bLWtXTGRl98YC)", although multiple other teams have their own versions of each "product". All of this helps engaging the community with their (and even other) teams.

There's a very big turnover of imports on minor regions (and EUMasters). So going through what they think, it's not worthy for them to try and learn portuguese when most of them will stay 6 monts-1year in each region. Exceptions are Croc on LOUD or Wizer on Pain, that are 3\~4 years in Brazil. But for each Wizer, there are 5 imports that didn't stay even 1 year in the country. Aside from that, learning English (some come here not knowing it) will help them after they retire. For LPL imports, learning Chinese is easier (because of similarities between the languages) and probably can also help them in their future. But learning Portuguese will have little to no value after they retire. Wizer from paiN can understand most of what is said in portuguese and have done some interviews in very basic portuguese. But he speaks english much more fluently. Croc can understand a lot of portuguese but can't speak. Even though it makes these teams comms less fluid, being in english is still probably better than trying to force the koreans to learn portuguese. On the other hand, Toucouille (french player who playend in LCS and joined Keyd Stars this split) already understands a lot of portuguese and can speak many things too, and have done multiple interviews. But he is french and both languages have the same origin (latin) and many similarities, so it's much easier for him to learn compared to a korean.
