I ended up playing alone, I wasn't connected to my team, so the responsibility for the loss is entirely mine. It was meant to be, with 13 seconds left and we're out," he said.

Jean made a point of commenting on this delicate moment for the team.

"You're right about one thing: we were three Fighting Nerds who lost in a row, so the three of us must be making similar mistakes. Let's have a meeting between me and Caio Borralho and (Maurício) Ruffy to identify this and improve. Like it or not, I'm sorry. We'll be back," he assured.
