Curse

Curse, born Raí Yamada, is a 21-year-old Brazilian jungler playing for LOS in the CBLOL, the top League of Legends competition in Brazil. Moving through the map’s neutral areas, he is the one who sets the pace of the match from deep within the jungle.

Reading the Rift from the Jungle

Hardly any role asks for as much mental capacity as the jungle does. Curse has to clear camps quickly, keep tabs on where the enemy jungler is heading, fight for neutral objectives such as dragons and Baron, and pick which lanes deserve his ganks, all while the clock keeps running. The job rests on pathing, timing, and sound decisions, and the players who excel are the ones who arrive exactly where they are needed just before a fight starts.

A Versatile Champion Pool

Curse’s champion roster reflects that flexibility. Viego, Graves, Udyr, Karthus, and Ivern cover a wide spread of playstyles. Graves and Udyr fit the aggressive, farm-driven carry jungler who snowballs through sheer combat strength. Viego brings a duelist’s kit with the ability to reset during drawn-out teamfights. Karthus suits the scaling, map-wide pressure style that can affect lanes from anywhere on the Rift. Ivern is the opposite: a support-minded jungler who focuses on boosting allies rather than farming for himself. Having all five at his disposal lets Curse tailor his approach to whatever a given draft or matchup demands.

Standing in the CBLOL

The CBLOL has turned out a steady flow of players who went on to compete on the international stage, and by competing in that circuit, Curse sits among a strong group of homegrown pros. Playing for LOS, he adds to a scene known for its passionate supporters and its readiness to back bold, high-energy play.

At 21, Curse is in a phase where experience and polish count the most. The range of his champion pool already makes him an adaptable player, and steady growth in his macro decision-making could make him a central figure for his team. The coming seasons will show whether that versatility can turn into the dependable, match-defining jungle play that moves a roster from contender to champion.
