The Brazilian veteran decided to retire from gaming in January 2007 to focus on his studies, having been named as the team's coach later that year.

Made in Brazil had been strongly linked with roster changes for the past months following the team's sub-par campaigns in the latest events.

Although the 2006 ESWC champion had confirmed that it would create a reserve squad after Brasil Cup 3, Made in Brazil has instead opted to undergo changes in the main line-up.

Segal will go directly into mibr's starting-five, replacing Bruno “bit” Lima - who has been informed he is free to find a new employer.

Meanwhile, Made in Brazil has announced that Renato “nak” Nakano has been stripped of the captaincy and that Segal will be the team's new leader.

"The reason for this change for 2009 is that the players realized that the problem within the team was not in the quality of the members but in the in-game leadership," read a statement on the team's website.

This leaves Made in Brazil with the following roster:

Carlos “KIKOOOO” Segal
Raphael “cogu” Camargo
Thiago “btt” Monteiro
Lincoln “fnx” Lau
Renato “nak” Nakano
