chelo to miss BLAST Spring Groups

MIBR continue to have trouble playing with a stable lineup.

As a result of testing positive for COVID-19, long standing MIBR member Marcelo "⁠chelo⁠" Cespedes will not travel with the team to compete in BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022, the organization announced on Tuesday.

MIBR Academy player Breno "⁠brnz4n⁠" Poletto will once again stand in for the team, having previously played for the main roster for multiple events in 2021 due to Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass' positive COVID-19 test result.

chelo is once again sidelined due to extenuating circumstances

During the latter half of 2021, MIBR ran into many issues with their lineup when competing in international tournaments, resulting in both brnz4n and even Renato "⁠nak⁠" Nakano standing in during BLAST Fall.

MIBR will face a tough task with their stand-in as they reside in Group B of BLAST Spring 2022 alongside Natus Vincere, OG, and Astralis, with their opening match of the event pitting them up against the fearsome CIS side.

Here is MIBR's lineup for BLAST Spring Groups:

Brazil Raphael "⁠exit⁠" Lacerda
Brazil Adriano "⁠WOOD7⁠" Cerato
Brazil Matheus "⁠Tuurtle⁠" Anhaia
Brazil Jhonatan "⁠JOTA⁠" Willian
Brazil Breno "⁠brnz4n⁠" Poletto (stand-in)

Brazil Renato "⁠nak⁠" Nakano (stand-in coach)

That's a really bad news, losing one of the best SA players and taking a stand-in that was dissapoiting in the past seems really sad for MiBR. They're still the team that has so much firepower and so much potential in it, like really those young guys have insane aim, if only they could take an experienced IGL and a good support to set them up, they could really be a good team, with this roster I guess farming SA is the best they can do. Sad for an org. like this. GL tho.

Someone with a flag of Brazil commented here about chelo missing out the tournament because of just a "flu". I think it was deleted or reported. It is now missing. Just want to say that you still suck and you're nothing but a fucking ignorant. Stupid asshole.
