Counter-Strike: Triple swoop by mibr

By: Luis Mira - Published August 31, 2008 at 9:31 PM EDT - Writer Archive
Made in Brazil has welcomed three new faces to the team ahead of the local WCG qualifier.
The Brazilian team lifted the GameGune trophy earlier this summer, however was far from impressive at ESWC 2008, where it crashed out of the tournament at the second group stage.

Made in Brazil has confirmed the dismissal of three players, Norberto "Lance" Lage, Thiago "btt" Monteiro and Olavo "cky" Napolećo, as well as the team's coach, Alexandre "gAuLeS" Bochi.

Meanwhile, mibr has announced that Raphael "cogu" Camargo, Renato "nak" Nakano and Lincoln "fnx" Lau have all agreed to return to the team where they achieved great success in 2006, winning the ESWC event.

"We did very well at GameGune 2008, but we knew that only we and two-three other teams could win the event," mibr manager Leandro Loiola told GotFrag.com.

"Our goal was ESWC, where we performed below expectations. Being eliminated in the second phase of a competition like ESWC made us rethink our goals for the remainder of 2008 and 2009."

"We first looked at the players that had to join. With cogu, nak and fnx we had won our biggest trophies. Bit had been part of our success for the past two years and he is undoubtedly one of the players that has improved the most during this time. And ton is in great form, he has been very important in decisive games."

It is still unknown whether these three new faces will become permanent additions to the team, having left mibr to join CGS franchise Rio Sinistro in May.

"It is hard to know what will happen from now on," Loiola added. "Our intention is to close a team, and with it win tournaments once again. We are already training for WCG Brazil, which will be in two weeks' time."

Made in Brazil has now the following line-up:

Brazil Bruno "bit" Lima
Brazil Wellington "ton" Caruso
Brazil Raphael "cogu" Camargo
Brazil Lincoln "fnx" Lau
Brazil Renato "nak" Nakano

wtf is wrong with mibr, they do the sme thing every 6 months...you have never been good without cogu in the lineup, so stop allowing him to leave and return, ridiculous

cogu, fnx, kikoo, ton , bit, nak, bruno

these r the only exceptable mibr members, no one else should ever be on the team

Much better roster. Although the fanboys are annoying, it's great to see an extremely competitive brazilian team.

What a joke this mibr organization is. It really saddens me to see the other players getting cut. I think we all know that when cogu and company leave again (i give them 4 months max), Cky, Lance and Btt will get recruited again. Just to get cut AGAIN haha!

Terrible.

Finally a smart play by mibr. it took ESWC to open there eyes, dont agree on letting gaules go though hes been playing with these guys since g3x. Coach can only do so much, give him a better roster to work with >_>
