MIBR round out IEM Rio team list

Felipe "⁠insani⁠" Yuji dragged his team across the finish line on Ancient to claim the series.

MIBR claimed the last qualifying spot at IEM Rio 2023 after defeating Complexity in the last match of the North American closed qualifier. The Brazilians had already defeated Johnny "⁠JT⁠" Theodosiou and company in the upper bracket final, but doubled up on their opponents to secure their ticket to Rio de Janeiro.

insani was MIBR's most important player through the online qualifier as the 18-year-old prospect averaged a 1.28 rating across seven maps to power his team to victory. The young rifler recently put his name on the map after a great performance at IEM Katowice, and will now get the chance to ply his trade in front of his home crowd in April.
