posted Oct 11th, 2021 - The NSL New reported the interesting situation in Brazil at and after the July meet of the Brazilian Tunnel League with the update on July 29th. Former and current CTR Optimum members competed with and against each other in different lineups.

The newly formed Optimum Prime lineup won in July and now came back to compete again at the September meet. The three members of the previous CTR Optimum lineup (George Narita, Jorge Neto, Alisson Vargas) replaced team founder André Ferraz with Ricardo Pereira after the July indoor meet.

The NSL News then reported on October 5th that the new CTR Optimum lineup won the national outdoor championship just a few days after the indoor meet in September. They posted their outdoor scores under a new name, Init-Y.

Optimum Prime did not compete for the outdoor title. Init-Y's closest opponent was Cometas, Brazil's military CISM team, who were not able to get close enough to the winner on the 4-way leaderboard. Cometas also train and compete in the military events.

INIT-Y and Optimum Prime at the September meet of the Brazil Tunnel League

---

George Narita, Jorge Neto, Alisson Vargas and new member Ricardo Pereira had already used the new team name Init-Y at the indoor competition right before the national outdoor championship. The competition at the September meet of the Brazilian Tunnel League was much harder for the new outdoor champions.

However, it may have been encouraging for the new lineup to win the indoor meet before the ten outdoor rounds for the Brazilian 4-way title. Optimum Prime were back for the indoor meet, and the competition was even closer than in July.

Prime had won the first duel by four points, and Init-Y turned the table with a 2-point advantage in September. It was a 1-point battle until the last round where Init-Y added one more point to win the meet.

The Init-Y members had actually expected a more challenging competition for the outdoor title and could use some additional confidence. They are now the 4-way top team in Brazil, indoors and outdoors, after many years of dominance by CTR Optimum.
