brnz4n returns to MIBR's starting lineup

20-2-2025 00:00

The 21-year-old has been given another chance after a spell on the bench.

brnz4n is once again a starter for MIBR

Breno "⁠brnz4n⁠" Poletto has been moved back into MIBR's starting lineup, the Brazilian organization confirmed on Wednesday. He will fill the vacancy created by André "⁠drop⁠" Abreu's benching after a string of poor results.

On X, Raphael "⁠exit⁠" Lacerda confirmed that he will take over captaincy duties, returning to the role he held between January 2023 and August 2024.

A product of the MIBR Academy, brnz4n was promoted to the main squad in May 2022 following Adriano "⁠WOOD7⁠" Cerato's benching. He spent over two years on the starting roster before making way for Lucas "⁠Lucaozy⁠" Neves in September 2024.

"Very happy to play with these guys, who I have always been very fond of," he wrote on X. "Thank you, MIBR, for trusting me again. I had a lot of time to mentally reset from everything I was going through to come back at 200% and hungry to win."

MIBR bench drop, release BIT

MIBR hope that the change will breathe new life into the team, which has won only two of seven LAN matches in 2025. The Brazilian outfit recently crashed out of PGL Cluj-Napoca in 12th-14th place, beating Imperial Valkyries and losing to Wildcard, 3DMAX and Astralis.

The new MIBR lineup will make its first official appearance in the Play-In stage of ESL Pro League 21, which will kick off on March 1. In Stockholm, the team is expected to be coached by Jhonatan "⁠jnt⁠" Silva, who will reportedly replace Bruno "⁠BIT⁠" Fukuda Lima in the role.

MIBR are now:

Raphael "⁠exit⁠" Lacerda
Rafael "⁠saffee⁠" Costa
Lucas "⁠Lucaozy⁠" Neves
Felipe "⁠insani⁠" Yuji
Breno "⁠brnz4n⁠" Poletto

André "⁠drop⁠" Abreu (benched)

That was fast..

They ended off 3rd place in esl pro league, and were getting better and better results. Since then they have haven’t even placed in an event. I’m not saying he’s good, but the team showed better results and were improving each event

2025-02-20 04:17

Bro you're reaching the epl semifinal when you never had and somebody takes your place what was that it was throw of the year

2025-02-20 00:03

Drop got benched about 600 days too late

2025-02-20 00:04

i still dont understand why they picked him up. saffee? okay makes sense, but drop? self sabotaging on the biggest level

2025-02-20 00:07

none of these teams have the proper structure as an organization to develop these players. at least, he was the one that asked to be moved to the bench. better for him and for the org.

2025-02-20 04:46

ok 🤡

Braindead move in a first place, he's got much more to show

2025-02-20 00:05

Xddd

I was 11 when I travelled with my family to Brazil. I expected beautiful beaches and warm weather but I got to witness big hospitals where Brazilians were in coma. "Who are those people?" I asked. The nurse explained that they were MIBR fans waiting for their team to achieve something. They still haven't awoken.......

2025-02-20 00:10

So sad to hear. I shed a tiny tear.

2025-02-20 00:12

I did too, from laughing

2025-02-20 01:18

2025-02-20 00:09

drop looked like a pirate.. sparrow caralho

2025-02-20 00:13

The worst username in all of cs is back unfortunately

2025-02-20 01:21

how is it worse than X5G7V ?

2025-02-20 07:01

That username is so awful that it is actually good, and the steam guard code meme is funny

2025-02-20 09:08

BR CS is literally a recycle factory. Good luck.

If they want to bring back players so bad they should make a trade with Furia, Chelo for Insani, I'm sure everyone would be happy with the outcome

2025-02-20 01:27

literally what will happen with Shr in SAW

2025-02-20 01:42

LEEETS FKNG GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS BOT IS FINALLY OUT OMFG GO BACK TO TIER999999 WHERE YOU BELONG THIS DUDE GOT EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A GOOD PLAYER BUT WAS ALWAYS DOGSHIT I HOPE HE ROT IN SOME INSIGNIFICANT TEAM AND NEVER SHOW UP IN A BIG EVENT

2025-02-20 02:07

And again exit, will be the igl of mibr for the 30484830th times. Did it ever work ? No, but maybe, the next time. it will be good !

2025-02-20 02:22

Good moment for Furia to snatch insani

2025-02-20 03:06

And replacd chelo/yuriih -yuriih +dgt -chelo + insani

2025-02-20 03:11

At this point I don't think kscerato would play without yuriih, its like tacold from the old days, when one left the other just dropped significantly perfomance wise.

2025-02-20 14:24

mouz move, i dont think its upgrade in any sense

2025-02-20 03:15

I think it might be. Drops igling has been facing some criticisms. I think exit would be taking over?

2025-02-20 20:24

defintely upgrade over drop.

2025-02-20 04:47

Waiting for the day Brazil finally makes a super team...the potential for a solid top5 team is there but seems like it will never happen with Brazil orgs / contract jail and fallen still playing.

2025-02-20 04:51

I do hope he is hungry.

2025-02-20 08:30

Rip insani's career

2025-02-20 09:39

Drop got dropped might have been a better title?

2025-02-20 09:52

Wasn't lucaozy the problem?

2025-02-20 20:08

Just saw a rumour on reddit saying insani has been upset with MIBR and is thinking about accepting FURIA's move to buy him. That change might be the last straw for him, I don't know.
