MIBR confirm BIT as new head coach

The legendary in-game leader will be charged with bringing success to the Brazilian team.

MIBR have formally announced that Bruno "⁠BIT⁠" Fukuda Lima has joined their male CS:GO team as head coach. The Brazilian, who left 9z at the end of 2021 and subsequently retired from professional play, has decided to embark on his coaching career and return to the organization he represented all the way back in 2007 as a player.

BIT will be replacing Alessandro "⁠Apoka⁠" Marcucci, who stepped down from the position in January this year. The arrival of their new head coach finalizes MIBR's lineup for the 2022 season, with Yuri “Fly” Uchiyama, executive chairman of MIBR, saying that the new roster "seeks good performances in qualifying for major international events."

He joins the staff team alongside Renato "⁠nak⁠" Nakano, who will remain the team’s strategic coach and will assist BIT with coaching duties. BIT will be in charge of the team practice and pre-match preparation, while nak will step in for him and be behind the players during the matches at the Americas RMR due to the fact BIT was unable to be registered in time.
