The annual Prêmio eSports Brasil (PeB) 2025 ceremony, held at the Auditório Simon Bolívar in São Paulo, confirmed what many analysts already suspected: the sheer gravitational pull of Brazil`s mobile esports community remains unparalleled. Matheus “MT7,” the support player for the Free Fire powerhouse Fluxo, secured the highly coveted Craque da Galera (Fan Favorite) award, a category determined entirely by public vote.

MT7’s victory was not merely a recognition of his skill but a resounding affirmation of the organizational strength and fan dedication inherent to the Free Fire ecosystem in Brazil. He successfully navigated a rigorous voting structure, beginning with community nominations and culminating in a final face-off against some of the region`s most established esports icons.

The Power of the People: Analyzing the Craque da Galera Vote

The Craque da Galera award stands out in the Brazilian esports landscape precisely because it strips away all technical jury assessments and focuses solely on populist appeal. Fans nominate, select finalists, and choose the ultimate winner, effectively making it the ultimate litmus test for community engagement.

MT7’s path to the trophy involved overcoming a formidable lineup of competitors drawn from across the spectrum of global esports titles:

Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato: The legendary CS:GO/CS2 rifler from FURIA, often considered the face of Brazilian PC esports globally.
Eduardo “Sato” Nagahama: A rising star in VALORANT, representing Leviatán in the prestigious VCT Americas league.
Paula “Bstrdd” Naguil: A Chilean talent recognized for her dominant role in the MIBR GC women`s VALORANT team, reaching the world top 3.
Tiago “Bops” Carvalho: MT7’s teammate and captain at Fluxo, a key leader in the Free Fire scene.

The result, where the Free Fire support player ultimately surpassed a globally recognized figure like KSCERATO, speaks volumes. While PC titles garner significant international prestige, mobile esports, specifically Free Fire, mobilizes masses of dedicated voters whose consistent engagement simply eclipses other fan bases in domestic polls. It`s less about skill measurement and more about who can rally the largest digital army.

MT7’s Exceptional Cycle: A Year Defined by Gold

MT7`s claim to the PeB Fan Favorite award was heavily supported by his technical performance during the measured cycle (September 2024 to 2025). His career trajectory during this period was, frankly, astonishing. He functioned as a critical reference point for the Fluxo lineup, ensuring their sustained presence at the summit of competitive Free Fire.

His impressive resume includes:

Free Fire World Series (FFWS) Global Finals 2024: World Champion status achieved in Rio de Janeiro.
C.O.P.A Free Fire & ESL Snapdragon Pro Series: Victories solidifying regional dominance.
FFWS Brasil: Achieving the historic Brazilian triple championship.
FFWS Global Finals 2025: Securing a second-place finish, cementing Fluxo`s status among the elite global teams.

Beyond team trophies, MT7 collected several Most Valuable Player (MVP) titles in key national and regional tournaments, demonstrating that his fan appeal was firmly rooted in undeniable, high-level execution. He didn`t just win; he dominated. For fans, voting for MT7 was an acknowledgment of continuous excellence across multiple major tournaments.

The Significance of PeB 2025

The Prêmio eSports Brasil 2025 served as the definitive recognition of standout performances across 29 competitive modalities in the Brazilian market. Instituted in 2017, the event annually celebrates players, teams, organizations, casters, and content creators. Notably, 2025 saw the inclusion of awards specifically dedicated to short and long-form content creators across social media platforms, recognizing the diversifying nature of esports fame.

MT7`s victory highlights a crucial demographic reality within the thriving Brazilian esports ecosystem: popularity is not always tethered to the largest prize pools or the most internationally covered titles. Instead, it is intrinsically linked to accessibility and the size of the active user base. The Craque da Galera award serves as the annual reminder that in Brazil, when it comes to fan mobilization, the battle royale stars of Free Fire hold the keys to the kingdom.
