[@LockArthan1996]

São Paulo (like ANY major city) is not a place you want to go visiting without guidance. That does not mean the city in general is unsafe. Plenty of safe spots and places you can go and have your phone out without any concerns. But he went to the Sé Cathedral, a place well known for its violence and highest homeless population in the city BY HIMSELF. He didn't know better I'm sure but isolating this to assume the entire city is like that is just not the way to go about this whole situation.

[@LT_I_AM]

@GamePlayer684 I'm sorry, but to walk alone in São Paulo as a foreigner is pure stupidity. I live here and I follow a rule to only use the phone inside stablishments, never pull it out on the street

My wife is from Sao Paulo and i meet her when i did a semester abroad in spain, where she also did one. after i finished studying i lived in Sao Paulo for almost 4 years, i had a "steal"" wallet with fake cards, fake id and a bit of money and i had a cheap spare phone. when my, at the time, girlfriend was robbed at a bus stop and almost beaten to 💀because she had no phone, i said either we pack our things and move to austria or i will leave her, it was the 4th robbery in 3 months and this went too far. this was almost 10 years ago and it became way worse. her uncle, a police officer, had a house on the beach, there were so much break ins that he just abandoned it. people cant imagine how someone would blow you away for 5€ over her, there its a daily business.

[@T1_Tilapia]

The most popular tourist states in Brazil have a huge problem with daylight robbery, either by just taking phones away or at gunpoint if you're in a car, for example. Me and most locals don't feel safe walking around with their phones out in the street, even if briefly, and tourists tend to be targeted more since it's assumed they're richer than the average Brazilian. I heard stories of some of them even being kidnapped to give access to their bank details and such. It varies from city to city, of course, but that still doesn't discount the fact it's a huge systematic problem here. I hope Drew is able to remedy the situation in the near future, and hopefully more people learn about these risks and spread awareness about it outside Brazil.

[@T1_Tilapia]

Also one thing I forgot to point out: Try to order Uber and such while inside a building, and start walking out when they're getting closer, to avoid having to check the app while outside a building (But be careful to not let the Uber driver wait too long). And if possible, try to stick to groups and crowded places while in public. It doesn't guarantee you'll be safe, but it makes thieves think twice about trying to attack a group.

So much of our lives now are dependent on having a phone, so having it stolen is legitimately terrifying for a lot of people.

my guy went to brazil and expected to not get bonked by mordekaiser.

[@MotivatedMan]

Midbeast always looks like Mr steal your wife, but you could tell you he looked pretty different in this video and has affected him. Hope you're doing well legend

[@Chidaruma69]

Pro tip: if the fiend doesn't show a weapon, just throw hands.

[@Ayzev]

What if it just isn't being used from the start? What if the guy has pals? What if he can beat you? I doubt the chances are ever worth taking

[@aKindred]

I love Drew, he is a really cool guy, what happened to him is really sad and I wish him the best But it's also sad to see people bashing Brazil saying it's a terrible country when things like that can happen in every single country specially if you go somewhere that is "a dangerous area" alone and don't speak the language I was born in São Paulo but I hate going there, specifically the center of the city is notorious for being a terrible place to be at, if he asked anyone where he should go, everyone would say the center is terrible and recommend something that is safer like MASP (museum of São paulo). I wish him the best and hope he stays well

[@jurivjerdha2467]

“ drew dont go around flexing your phone and wallet because its brazil “ Drew : they call me mid beast because im a beast in mid

[@sleebyshedinja9318]

Nothing would ever convince me to visit Brazil.

[@AmonForatto]

Didn't you know? This is "welcome to Brazil" here! People are so warm when they see a gringo putting his phone up and talking in english (or whatever foreign language really)

[@zassler8028]

remember to always get your mail apps with 2nd layer off pass key

[@ganfort01]

It was Baus. He took it with Sion ult.

[@重荷-l7z]

Didn't know Brazil was scary like that. Sad to hear about it

[@neonnnest]

as someone who lived in Brazil for half his life, if u ever go there again dont take your personal phone out of the hotel, just buy a cheap one for travelling. But not too cheap or they might unalive you.

[@NikoCat11]

I'm Brazilian, but I'm living in Spain now and I can say: you need to be very careful in Brazil, it doesn't even compare to the other places I've been, people will rob you. He was in "praça da Sé" in São Paulo, this is a particularly dangerous place, even I, who used to live in SP, don't like walking in that place. It's a shame though, Brazil is a such a cool place, but very dangerous if you don't know stuff :/

[@lightspeedrescue]

The guy whose been spamming "Come to Brazil 💯" in Midbeast chat wanted him to know what he REALLY meant when he spammed that.

[@Midge_Manycoats]

There's a reason why Brazil is so frowned upon...

[@spumly123]

always ALWAYS set your phone to auto lock after a few minutes, even while using it

[@brazzb761]

man ksante mains being unhappy? Today is a good day

[@Bro.Synchro]

Is anyone surprised It's Brazil

[@Dravers]

Not much its really risky in brazil. Is robber had a weapon or its quick grab

[@Pj-2896]

Nope not suprise.

[@mix3nbake]

Bro got ganked irl

[@MobTalon]

"Come to Brazil" these mfers said.

[@PhobiaXxX]

This is why I don't travel out of country with my main phone. Secondary phone with Secondary information. Not logged in to any accounts.

[@perigosu8449]

That's why, as much as I'd like to travel to certain places... I won't. Locals be crazy!

[@qstimpert]

Hope midbeast gets huge viewer spike for this he deserves a pick me up

[@HowsDaJello]

Man and I really wanted to visit soon. This puts a sour taste in my mouth though. Maybe I will look up the top 5 safest parts of Brazil and pick one.

[@amysakalov6915]

On the bright side for K'Sante players at least Riot hasn't tossed him into the "nerf into literal unplayable state until we can get around to a full rework sometime around 2205."

[@69werle]

As a Brazilian we do warn people of exactly that all the time, best thing you can do is have a throw away phone and never walk by yourself if you are not familiar with the place, brazil is a beautiful place with incredible people, but it isn't the safest place(you are all more than welcome here, but please be safe people).

[@chopstick107]

Can’t go anywhere without it on you anymore, people are not to be trusted

[@jessejohn7406]

Brazil is scary fr but the moment I get looked at to funny this glock gon be scary fr

[@dejanbusse805]

I am fluent in Portugese undergoing bilingual education. I definately wanna visit brazil one day, but that country is just dangerous af.

[@naerolf09]

thank god midbeast didnt get hurt his phone getting stolen is bad already but if he got hurt aswell that wouldve been very bad

[@superleetninja]

This type of situation is why my 2fa for everything is set up on my home PC

[@elcry1920]

I heard "Brazil" and thought "oh ok that makes sense"

[@zapzapdelivery4280]

I remember catching up Midbeast mid stream a day or two before, people asked if he explored the city or not, and he replied something like: "Not yet. I'll sound like that guy, but I want to walk around on my own, even though people say I should have someone experienced around." Oh well.

[@Muninnfeathers]

And this is why he should have had a dummy phone. Thief gets a phone, but not yours.

[@michaelmoran2125]

Thank God Midbeast is still alive jesus dude

[@Nako3]

No bodyguards from TL is crazy. The company messed up.

[@JasonInc1]

I would buy a rekless T1 skin in a heartbeat

[@phoenixflamegames1]

I really would love to see the beautiful nature and architecture in Brazil but I just don’t feel safe enough to go…
