MIBR to field nak in BLAST Premier Groups

16-9-2021 20:02

The Brazilian side will field two stand-ins at the event, including the strategic coach and an academy team member.

MIBR will be forced to use two stand-ins at BLAST Premier Fall Groups after Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass tested positive for COVID-19 and Marcelo "⁠chelo⁠" Cespedes suffered an injury due to a car accident.

As previously announced, the team will field one of their academy members, Breno "⁠brnz4n⁠" Poletto, instead of boltz, while Renato "⁠nak⁠" Nakano will step back onto the server to fill in for chelo after the 23-year-old was not cleared to travel following the accident.

nak last donned the MIBR jersey as a player in 2009

"chelo isn't fully recovered to travel with us," Alessandro "⁠Apoka⁠" Marcucci explained in a video message. "He is getting better at home right now and going to physiotherapy. Chelo, we're hoping you get better soon because we want you back with us as soon as possible!"

The situation puts the Brazilian side in a tough spot in their upcoming campaign at BLAST Premier, where they had already been the biggest underdog as by far the lowest-ranked side in attendance (#48). Group B of the event will see MIBR face G2 first on Monday at 16:30 , with Ninjas in Pyjamas and BIG being on the other side of the double-elimination bracket.

The stand-in stint will see nak play his first match in an official capacity since the end of 2020, when he left DETONA and decided to hang up his mouse to pursue a position as MIBR's strategic coach.

Despite that, the coach duo looked in good spirits when they spoke about nak's return onto the server. "I'm doing my best, of course, I'm not on the tier 1 level, but we'll try," the 34-year-old added. "Sometimes it works. Let's go. We're confident to play G2! We have no pressure."

MIBR will field the following roster in BLAST Premier Fall Group B:

Gustavo "⁠yel⁠" Knittel
Raphael "⁠exit⁠" Lacerda
Bruno "⁠shz⁠" Martinelli
Breno "⁠brnz4n⁠" Poletto (stand-in)
Renato "⁠nak⁠" Nakano (stand-in)

Alessandro "⁠Apoka⁠" Marcucci (coach)

honestly, given what happened with FURIA, it's all up in the air at this point. G2 could win this, but if the coach shows good form, oh boy it's gonna be a nailbiter for both groups of fans

Dbl poney is in the top30 right now

I have no idea, but it's easier to build an english speaking roster as BR is facing a scarcity of even tier 2 players

2021-09-16 22:23

i dont think its a player quality problem despite for furia who need a 5th player. the brazilian teams despite furia and godsent are taking terrible decisions in the server that even t2 teams dont take. they attempt some 2v4 retakes and some stupid rushs and stuff like that all the time. first they need to play correctly like godsent is attempting to do (my opnion) if u put any t1 players in o plano and mibr and they still take those decisions they gonna still stink

2021-09-17 15:28

Brazil represents, besides CIS orgs, the most profitable investment in CS:GO because of the fans. IMG would go broke without all the MIBR merch they sell.

True. I was just wondering about them acquiring an actual competitive team

2021-09-16 22:24

they don't have money for that, they couldn't afford kng team daily expenses

2021-09-17 01:15

They could, but it was pathetic to pay 30k for each of those guys. I wonder how much 00nation is paying them kkkk

2021-09-17 02:20

nak fnx b1t cogu... *Sigh* the days.... CS 1.6 was so exciting....

if only fnx didn't fuck with his carreer, the guy would be a Counter-Strike GOAT contender (counting 1.6 and GO) right side f0rest, Get_RIght and NEO

Without a doubt. He also won a major in 1.6.. as they say... No fnx, No Major..

2021-09-16 20:23

he just nerfed himself, goat move tbh

this team is such a meme

Will not be surprised if G2 will lose to 2 standins

2021-09-16 20:20

OK Blast, time to review you partners list. EG on group A with 2 stand-ins, and being trash for almost a year. MIBR is not even top3 in Brazil. These teams lower the quality of the whole event because only two teams move on from the Showdown so having EG and MIBR in the groups while having Gambit and Heroic in the groups is dumb.

2021-09-16 22:58

Some people here simply can’t look past the flag and flair. It is what it is.

Don’t worry. Once you stop being a teenager, you’ll realize how stupid it is to hate someone just because they come from a specific place.

2021-09-16 23:35

i don't hate, i just don't like latin and iberian

2021-09-16 23:37

Fakeflagger? I hope you are because otherwise you are Latino just like me. Either way, hate/dislike, you’ll grow out of it.

2021-09-16 23:44

What happened to chelo? (ik it said car accident but more specifically)

2021-09-16 20:33

He had a car accident in Brazil. He went to EU because he could have enough time to recover. But I think he is not fully recovered.

2021-09-16 20:36

That's unfortunate :(
