Counter-Strike: MiBR goes through changes: KIKO leaves again

By: Fernando Giannaccari - Published July 14, 2005 at 1:31 PM EDT - Writer Archive
The well kown Brazilian powerhouse Made in Brazil announced changes today. Carlos "KIKO" Segal, the on again off again member of MiBR, has taken a leave from the team to concentrate recovering from foot surgery earlier in the year. He will be replaced by Thiago 'btt' Monteiro a veteran member of the Brazilian CS community.
The well known Brazilian team Made in Brazil announced changes in their roster Thursday.

Carlos 'KIKO' Segal’s constant need for rehabilitation to heal from his past operation on his foot has led him to take some time to heal. The Made in Brazil management decided that the team would still attend the upcoming MiBR Cup II, a local brazilian tournament sponsored by MiBR’s organization, and being so Kiko decided to leave the team.

MiBR has not been performing up to par lately, with an embarrassing placing at the CPL’s Summer event, and not qualifying for ESWC in France. Whether or not Segal’s medical issues played a role in these disappointments is unknown.

Despite this, MiBR has already announced Segal’s replacement, Thiago 'btt' Monteiro, a well known Brazilian player, formerly of GameCrashers and Challenger. MiBR is already starting to practice for the MiBR Cup II and hopefully they will adjust well to this chance and return to MiBR’s world class form.

In addition it was announced that Cogu is replacing Kiko as team captain so expect a new look to MiBR's play.

MiBR's current lineup is as follows:

Marcus 'xed' Pais
Raphael 'cogu' Camargo
Rafael 'pava' Pavanelli
Rafael 'pred' Velloso
Thiago 'btt' Monteiro

At this time Gotfrag could not reach MiBR but stay tuned for new information.
