About Carlos Teixeira
In a 2014 interview, Carlos Teixeira, cofounder of Eneida and then-manager of Gamers2, described his role as involving research on opponents and coordination with other managers to prepare the team for competition. He stated that the team's mindset had shifted from blaming each other to helping teammates improve, and that players were spending nine to ten hours daily on practice. Teixeira said that scrimmages against Challenger teams were more serious and helpful than those against LCS teams, which he described as boring and lacking seriousness. Teixeira characterized Gamers2 as "not only a business or a company" but "a way of living and a way of understanding gaming." He noted that the team made collective decisions, with early-game rotation calls handled by a player named Dud and crucial late-game calls made by himself. He added that the meta changes quickly and that the team adapted by focusing on early-game rotations.
