BIT hangs up his mouse to take up coaching

The Brazilian veteran will transition to a managerial role following a career spanning well over a decade.

Bruno "⁠BIT⁠" Fukuda Lima has put an end to his playing career at the age of 31 and is now centering his sights on becoming a coach with the goal of once again competing at elite events.

9z's skipper stepped down from the team after two years in which he helped the Argentinean organization become a contender in South America alongside rising star and recent 00NATION recruit Santino "⁠try⁠" Rigal.

BIT playing with NTC at ESL One Belo Horizonte 2018

Before that BIT had a prolific CS:GO career in Brazilian squads playing for the likes of TeamOne, Não Tem Como and g3x, but it was in the early days, playing Counter-Strike 1.6, that BIT made a name for himself in the international circuit with MIBR and Complexity.

He joined the top Brazilian side in 2007 and went on to win events such as DreamHack Winter, that same year, as well as GameGune 2008 and Extreme Masters American Championships III and V.

"I was happy leading good teams in Brazil, winning national tournaments and going as far as possible at international events, but that's not enough anymore" BIT said in his official statement. "I want to be back at the biggest events in the world and win titles, to have the same opportunities that I had during the early days in my career as a player, but now as a coach."

A January report by Globo Esporte has BIT penciled in as a replacement for MIBR's outgoing coach, Alessandro "⁠Apoka⁠" Marcucci, which would see the Brazilian skipper rejoin the organization in which he broke out on the international stage over a decade ago.
