The Brazilian team was expected to play the tournament with the staff member Francisco “Emperor” Aquino, but it has now chosen a new member as the management feels the team needed strengthening.

The Norwegian player, who is making on-site coverage for GotFrag.com, had decided to retire from professional gaming in July last year, following an internal quarrel within Catch-Gamer.

The former NoA talent represented Made in Brazil in 2003, with successful appearances in ESWC and CPL Dallas. He eventually decided to leave the team as he didn't wish to move to Brazil for a whole year.

His Portuguese knowledge, as well as his good relationship with the Made in Brazil members, made the Brazilian team choose him.

"He was already in Seoul, covering the event for GotFrag, so he emerged as the right name for our team," Leandro "chataum" Loiola, manager in Made in Brazil, told GotFrag.com.

"He already played for mibr in 2003, and he is still friend of the current players, and an excellent player as well!"

Made in Brazil will compete at the e-Stars event with the following roster:

Bruno "bruno" Ono
Renato "nak" Nakano
Raphael "cogu" Camargo
Bruno "bit" Lima
Jonas "bsl" Alsaker Vikan
