Counter-Strike: KIKO retires, mibr's new fifth soon

Carlos “KIKOOOO“ Segal has just confirmed his retirement from professional gaming.
The Brazilian player has now decided to put an end to a successful career that had its peak with the gold achieved during the ESWC 2006.

Although he was seen going inactive and returning some times, Segal confirmed that this decision is irreversible and that there is no turning back. The lack of motivation to play this game at the highest level and the fact that he wants to focus on his studies were the most important factors in this choice.

"Unfortunately, I no longer have the will to play, I can't stand playing abroad for several months or staying in a LAN house practicing. Besides, my will to study made me take this choice. I know that I stopped and returned some other times, but this time is definite, I need to take another path in my life," Segal told mibr.com.

The departure of Segal leaves the Brazilian giant with five players. However, the management has already stated that it is currently looking for a new fifth as Rafael "pava" Pavanelli isn't part of MiBR's first-team plans.

This said, Made in Brazil has now the following roster:

Brazil Lincoln "fnx" Lau
Brazil Bruno "bruno" Ono
Brazil Renato "nak" Nakano
Brazil Raphael "cogu" Camargo
Brazil Rafael "pava" Pavanelli
