The South American CS scene continues to surprise with its choice of locations. Following a tournament in an Argentine subway, matches will now take place... on a battleship. From August 13 to 15, the Circuito FERJEE 2025 tournament will be held aboard the aircraft carrier NAM Atlântico—the flagship of the Brazilian navy —featuring top teams from the region. This is not just a show, but a full-fledged tournament with a $46,000 prize pool.

Unusual Arenas in South America
Creativity is the hallmark of South American events. In March 2025, the FiReLEAGUE tournament took place in the Buenos Aires subway, attracting thousands of spectators and going viral on social media. Now it's Brazil's turn, and their choice is the navy . Organizers are renting the NAM Atlântico—the largest warship in South America and the main flagship of the Brazilian fleet.

The tournament on the aircraft carrier will run from August 13 to 15, 2025, with a prize pool of $46,000. Four teams will participate: Imperial , ODDIK , Sharks, and RED Canids —all Brazilian representatives well-known to the local audience. The tournament format is still under wraps, but a playoff system with a final on the open deck is expected—with an ocean view and military equipment in the frame.

The tournament on NAM Atlântico is not just a nod to spectacle. It's a signal: South America isn't afraid to experiment and bet on showmanship, even with a limited budget. Such events increase interest in the region, reveal its potential, and might inspire international tournament operators to collaborate. For fans, it's another reason to take pride in the local scene and its bold steps into the future.
