MIBR announce academy team project

22-6-2021 21:04

The Brazilian organisation has revealed its plan to discover and develop players in the local scene.

MIBR are the latest organisation to have announced an academy project, with the search for the ideal candidates already underway.

The project will focus on developing promising talent in Brazil and support them with the appropriate infrastructure that will help them compete in local tournaments to gain vital experience and improve their skillsets, with the end objective being to shape the players into options for the men's and women's primary rosters in the future.

MIBR eye an academy roster

MIBR is already closing in on a head coach for the academy team, who will work alongside Alessandro "⁠Apoka⁠" Marcucci and Renato "⁠nak⁠" Nakano, the head coach and the strategic coach of the main team respectively, to "search and select four of the most prominent players available in Brazil". The fifth place on the roster will be determined through a special community event that is yet to be announced.

"I don’t think it’s surprising to anyone that we plan on having an Academy team," said MIBR Director Yuri “Fly” Uchiyama in a statement. "Since the beginning of this year, we’ve expressed our intention to grow and support esports in our community and we believe this is a fundamental step to promoting and discovering untapped Brazilian talent."

MIBR join mousesports, who recently revealed their academy project last week, as the latest teams on an evergrowing list of organisations building academy rosters, with the likes of Young Ninjas, Astralis Talent, NAVI Junior and FURIA Academy previously established.

Except that all BR real talent is Playing in NA or EU. If they are in brazil they are either a washed up paycheck stealer (like current entire mibr roster) or a up and coming player with 1.20 HLTV rating and a vac banned account (like v$m) Source: trust me bro

2021-06-23 02:51

They need to announce a project to make their main team better, why not just hire the O Plano guys instead of the dead roster you are carrying?

sign o plano, current team = ac team confirmed?

2021-06-22 21:15

That would actually be really great, but isn't gonna happen. The current MIBR roster is good enough to be an academy one but they are a stain on such a prestigious org's name when it comes to tough opponents.

Yea I don't really know what's happening with them. I have been their supporter and team isn't as bad as it actually is performing. I will say that Felps did leave a void that hasn't been filled yet but Yel and especially Boltz have been shitting the bed so hard while being the experienced guys here that they take majority of the blame. Meanwhile domestically , only Sharks gives them some competition and even then they managed to beat them.

Bro check Paqueta roster, their 6th player have won more titles than entire mibr

2021-06-22 22:19

Oh shit , Paqueta too stronk for any South American team. They are coming for that domination!

2021-06-22 22:21

why pick up the same players you dropped lmfao

2021-06-22 21:28

20 replies

They didn't "drop", the players said "no" to their low balling offer. Compare this squad with the O Plano squad in terms of both the hype, following and success that they can achieve and that's enough reason why they should pick the same players

in all seriousness though, people who party all the time and make death threats aren't people who I would ever want to employ. good move for any org not to pick them up simply based off of that. they are not world destroyers, they are a decent brazilian team who are overhyped. also all the players are currently out of their contracts so your point is literally useless.

2021-06-22 22:03

14 replies

i can understand the concerns that any org would have over their behavior however , those are all in past and they are a better men now. None of them have any recent stain on them that would damage them and everyone deserves a second chance. Even during the Leaf and Xeppa witchunt , KNG didnt say anything. Dont act like you havent made a mistake before and then not realized and corrected it. They might a bit overhyped but they are far better than 99% of the other Brazillian teams and managed to defeat the best BR team on multiple occasions as well. Also there is no definite news or report on all of their contracts whatsoever so you claiming that they are over and me saying that they arent is both of us talking out of our asses

Yikes, your takes just get worse and worse lmfao

2021-06-22 23:22

dammit , you are right

2021-06-22 23:52

Some people have lives to get to, unlike people like you who sit on hltv forums all day lol. Anyways, saying they are better than 99% of BR teams means nothing. Compare them to EU/CIS teams and hell even lower top 5 NA teams will often beat them. Also they literally made a big social media post about all the players being free, so you must have your head shoved so far into your ass that you don't even see a simple tweet on twitter lmfao. To the point of there not being anything recent, that is just untrue. Look at their stories and see just how often they are partying. Besides that you have a group of players who have a self belief of themselves that are extremely unrealistic when it comes to trying to get big salaries. It's not 2018 anymore and the orgs that are in CS aren't going to support a "maybe they could win a dreamhack open if all the stars align." if they actually care about being a successful team. Pay more attention to the right things in cs and stop sucking the dick of "pro's"

2021-06-23 08:49

+1 Lmao. Actually thinks I will read it all.

2021-06-23 12:01

From what they have been saying on instagram and twitter the guys are not even "looking" for an org anymore. Looks like they want to create their own org (probably nobody contacted them). And unless they get to the finals in the next RMR event..,.. nor org is gonna come for them.

2021-06-22 23:03

i dont follow any of them on any social media but i heard from some sources that they already have someone`s backing , which is how they came to America and were in Poland recently. But maybe they really have been unlucky in finding someone

2021-06-22 23:12

That "someone" is probably the guy creating "o plano" org. Dont think they are unlucky... there is no point in hiring five guys from brazil, unless your org is located here. Yeah they are pretty popular, but not outside of brazil. If MIBR who is the biggest esport brand here didnt want to back them up... imagine lesser brands.

2021-06-22 23:17

i dont know man , i`d say that the team is pretty much hyped outside of BR too. I mean , i am a fan of theirs all the way from South Asia! I would root for them against any team not named Astralis. MIBR as an org have taken pretty shitty decisions before , not hiring these guys is one of them i would say

2021-06-22 23:25

We agree on that MIBR's decision was stupid ( but understandable, since 2018 they have been paying high salaries, and they probably didnt want to that again). I am rooting for o plano, but i wouldnt say they are reliable at the moment... hope they perform better in the next tournaments. Still dont believe in that hype outside of brazil.. let's see.

2021-06-22 23:30

only kng was part of the roster and he said nothing. Not everyone under the brazilian flag was againts them

2021-06-26 02:22

Which players are still in a contract now?

2021-06-22 22:26

honestly , no idea. I just remember reading a post somewhere stating that all of them are contract free at the end of June. Take it with a grain of salt cause it wasnt credible.

2021-06-22 22:37

O plano is rising very fast

2021-06-23 18:43

Yes of course

2021-06-23 18:48

You know O Plano was MIBR, right?

2021-06-24 19:07

Yes, iam very well aware of that. You didn't really had to comment to confirm it had you read my other comments on this same thread.

2021-06-24 19:12

So you also realize how dumb you sound?

2021-06-24 19:13

Dumb I sound? For criticizing MIBR for not picking up a miles better squad than their current one with alot more fan following and hype around them which actually has it in them to at least be able to win something in NA someday and be a consistent Top 30 team just because they demanded more money? That's me sounding dumb or MIBR making another worse decision like the ones before?

2021-06-24 19:23

Dumb for actually thinking that O Plano might consider joining this clown org after they got rejected twice.

2021-06-24 19:26

O Plano deserve much better. MIBR must close doors, before they kill another decent line-up.

2021-06-24 19:27

academy of tier5 team Pog

they are doing everything to recover their reputation in the Brazilian scene, what a joke

Maybe i can join

This will be insane if happen

2021-06-22 22:33

Why pay two teams on academy level

MiBR is great, still a fresh team that haven't played much but they will be amazing once they get some matches under their belt.

2021-06-22 21:09

They‘re a competetive tier2/tier3 team but I don’t see them break through any more with this lineup

2021-06-22 21:13

Competetive tier3/tier4, they will get rekt by any solid t2 team

2021-06-22 21:33

2021-06-22 22:44

true, also remember Keys/LG struggled hard before breaking through. but yeah maybe a player change or two away, its hard to know

2021-06-23 20:19

They should really focus on their main roster, they're not even playing on a professional level at all.

2021-06-24 13:44

o plano >>>>>>>> mibr

MiBR going to SMASH Mouz tomorrow.

Ez for mibr

2021-06-22 22:28

2021-06-23 21:14

academy for a top 5 team is just a luxury, they dont need it. academy for a top 30 who is supposed to compete with the best is a must for survival. looks at football its the same, top teams have mediocre academies with few exceptions, the rest have really great academies

2021-06-23 23:15

academy teams are good for the growth of cs

good, they're only 3 years late

Great, I always love when those academy projects come up, this is the chance for many players in Brazil to show up, GJ MIBR.

2021-06-22 21:16

i thought they already have 1 academy team

What's the point of academy team, if your main team sucks

2021-06-22 21:18

you guys are so dumb I swear

2021-06-23 20:22

Elaborate

2021-06-23 20:31

wtf their main team looks like academy team so this is academy team of an academy team?)

Well, Gambit took the same path, so maybe it's not entirely lost

I can see the jokes coming, but oh well, don't they always anyway xD? Good Luck!

i think the academy team will be best than the main team

Didn't have money to pay more for vsm to have lunch but they have the money for a fe team, academy roster...???

2021-06-22 21:31

make an academy team before the main team is even good

2021-06-22 22:00

they want another squad of underperformers?

2021-06-22 22:06

Let's see what comes from this decision. MiBR name need to be renewed, anyway.

2021-06-22 22:12

so many fucking academy teams, like bro get your fucking main squad out of tier 4 first

Better announce organisation disband

"I don’t think it’s surprising to anyone that we plan on having an Academy team," it's hella surprising why in the hell would you make an academy team when your main team can't even compete

+O PLANO

Can't be any worse than their main roster

2021-06-22 22:38

lol core roster is so shit and they wanna make acedemy roster lul

2021-06-22 22:42

So they wanna drop players from main roster to the academy, and finally take someone who won't lose to GodFromSky ?

2021-06-22 22:45

2021-06-22 23:47

they need to fix their rubbish main team LOL

2021-06-23 00:02

Pick random pros for the academy project, proceed to kick the main roster and hire the bobs for half of the salary. EZ profit.

mibr academy o plano

Should have move their main roster to academy roster lmao

2021-06-23 00:27

Academy to learn how to lose, this tag is cursed

2021-06-23 01:34

They want to go 100% the Gambit way. Create the academy team and 1 month later disband the main roster. 1 year and a half later, new MIBR pog

2021-06-23 01:50

And here i was thinking that the current MIBR was already an academy roster

2021-06-23 02:08

hope academy will become main roster soon

2021-06-23 02:47

main roster is trash and u hire more trash

2021-06-23 03:30

After the huge success of Gambit Youngers, every team is starting to have their own academy team. I really hope MIBR will be able to find success, because afaik, the current MIBR with chelo/yel/exit/shz/boltz is not a major contender for any event, in fact I don't even think they are top 30 at the moment. I hope MIBR will be ale to adapt with this academy project, and find more potent youngsters and hopefully be the next Gambit, but right now the hope is very grim

2021-06-23 03:57

JOKE OF 2021, main team just like academy level LUL

2021-06-23 04:33

Academy team will be soon better than real team. So depressing to see a legendary brand loosing even at tier 19. Even the previous mibr with fallen did not perform this bad. They should just sort things out with kng and sign O plano to protect their legacy.

2021-06-23 04:38

kkkkkkkkkk

i thought MIBR was already an academy team ... considering young ninja's are getting better results.

2021-06-23 05:18

A good way to found a better roster to replace this one

2021-06-23 05:22

if the main team barely gets top 50, im assuming the academy team will barely get top 150

2021-06-23 05:40

Nice try MIBR

2021-06-23 05:59

Now there can be 2 shit MIBR rosters instead of one? I'm down for this

2021-06-23 09:20

mibr academy > mibr

2021-06-23 09:33

It will be hilarious if the academy team does better than the main. They should have focused on fixing the crap they call the main team first.

2021-06-23 09:46

they should announce a disband

2021-06-23 09:48

>can't fix the main team >academy team lmaooo :D inb4 the academy team takes over

2021-06-23 10:17

expected

2021-06-23 11:14

So they're making an academy team to seed talent for their main tier4 team? Maybe they'll be competitive in snow sweet snow next year.

2021-06-23 11:21

mibr is for the long game unlike some orgs
