We spoke with Luminosity's Lucas 'steel' Lopes and Ricardo 'dead' Sinigaglia about the Brazilian team's qualification to the semifinals of the iBUYPOWER Cup and the team's overall prospects.

Luminosity paved a road of fire on their way to the semifinals of the iBUYPOWER Cup, after defeating Winterfox 16-5 and then 16-0'ing Renegades to advance.

After the winners' match, we went for a stroll with Lucas "⁠steel⁠" Lopes and Luminosity's manager to talk about the performance of the Brazilians at this event, at CEVO Season 8, and about the general state of the CS:GO community in Brazil and North America.

More of our interviews from iBUYPOWER Cup are forthcoming and other HLTV.org videos can be found on our Youtube channel here.
