It is growing increasingly common for a Brazilian player to walk away with a Legend of the Week<\/strong><\/a>. Walisson Rangel<\/strong> is just one of a long line of Brazilian grinders who has earned themselves the right to call themselves the Legend of the Week.<\/p>\n

In February, Walisson won Leaderboard 2 of the ongoing promotion, which players earn points for by playing in the $5.50 Five Diamond<\/strong><\/a> and Headhunter<\/strong><\/a> Daily Legend tournaments. You may have bumped into “EmporerBeansss”<\/strong> as he battled his way through each of the tournaments\u2019 fields.<\/p>\n

Becoming a Legend of the Week Without Knowing<\/h2>\n

\"Walisson<\/p>\n

Walisson may have become Leaderboard 2\u2019s Legend of the Week, but he did so without even knowing about the rich rewards for doing so!<\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t pay attention to the promotion, so it surprised me seeing I had won two tickets worth $320<\/strong>. It was totally natural for me because I already play these tournaments every day. Luckily, I had a great week. Maybe if I was concerned about the rankings, I would have taken different decisions to avoid variance and I wouldn\u2019t have got there. I\u2019m glad I got this result naturally.”<\/p>\n

Walisson considers himself a semi-professional player<\/strong> who plans to play full time in the future despite holding an engineering degree. He is part of the 4Bet Poker school<\/strong> and currently plays low-stakes tournaments but is keen to move up to the point he can call poker his main souce of income.<\/p>\n

“Today, my average buy-in is $11<\/strong> and I am working to move up. I expect to be playing an average buy-in of $33 by the middle of next year. ”<\/p>\n

The up-and-coming Brazilian star combines a busy poker schedule with plenty of studying away from the tables in an attempt to rise up the ranks faster.<\/p>\n

“In the beginning, I took courses to encourage my hobby to be profitable. I got good results and then I decided to dedicate myself more. Today, I am in my second yer of the contract with the 4Bet Poker team, and I study through their program. At the same time, I subscribed to Reglife<\/strong>, a poker school run by Yuri Dzivielevski<\/strong><\/a> and Gustavo Mastelotto<\/strong>, I have a routine of at least two classes per week and a few more hours studying.<\/p>\n

The Daily Legends\u2019 Structures and Schedule Are Great<\/h2>\n

Walisson is a big fan of our Daily Legends<\/a>. They were designed to be tournaments that levelled the playing field for everyone. We removed the ability to use Heads-Up Displays (HUDs), eradicated bots, reduced both late registration and the number of permitted re-entries, and designed a structure that allows for a sleep-friendly finishing time without turning the tournaments into a crapshoot.<\/p>\n

“I really like the structures and fields at partypoker. The tournament schedule is great and it has improved after the changes in 2020 [introduction of Daily Legends]. The fact that the late registration is shorter is great because the fields end up being slightly smaller, too.”<\/p>\n

Walisson continued his impressive run in our Daly Legends in March. He took down the $3,000 guaranteed The Flash<\/strong><\/a> for $572 and finished as the runner-up in the $5,000 guaranteed Headhunter<\/strong><\/a> for an additional $397. It is only a matter of time before we see Walisson taking down another Legend of the Week title with results like these.<\/p>\n
