Made in Brazil owner Paulo Velloso has expressed his dissatisfaction over the team's poor form. After a second-place finish at Extreme Masters LA, Made in Brazil placed third in Montreal and 5th-6th in Dubai. The WCG event in Cologne was mibr's big chance to redeem itself for the latest results but the team crashed out of the tournament at the group stage after being paired with e-STRO and Meet Your Makers. Velloso did not hide his unhappiness over mibr's lack of good results in what seems to be an open letter published on the team's website, having noted that "something must be done." "You can't just look the other way when the best team in the world loses to any other team and not do anything," he told mibr's official website. "We gave this line-up all the conditions to be champion. And what did the players do? They stayed at Inferno-Online playing Deathmatch? Why not study their opponents, who had already been drawn and on the maps that had already been picked?" Made in Brazil's next events will be the Extreme Masters' American Continental Finals, to take place from November 21st-23rd at the VGXpo Gaming Expo in Philadelphia and the DreamHack WGT event, which will be held from November 27th-30th. Velloso even goes as far as to say that, if the team does not win these two tournaments, then drastic measures will be taken. "Well, we just have to believe in who was once champion. KIKOOOO is in charge! He gets to choose who stays and who leaves the team. Let's see KIKOOO! We have Extreme Masters in Philadelphia and then Dreamhack in Sweden. "Win or win, you get to choose, it's all your responsibility. Good luck." |

1. mibr is the world's best team
2. MYM and eSTRO are "any other team"
3. KIKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... is the man
He talks as if winning a tourney with team like MYM ESTRO etc was easy..
stupid overambitious guy !
he thinks mibr is the best team in the world
he is also unaware that he has the best lineup he can get and is ungrateful
if they were really just sitting around DMing and not preparing properly..u need to do something..
he's owner and he's running a business....they represent him.....if they take their opportunities to succeed for granted, then that's bad for business esp when it doesn't produce results..
but then again, the amount of dedication needed to come out of that group was a ton and coulda burned them out before they got to the event..its a tough situation...
i think if they win one and place top three in another he won't do anything drastic, maybe make Kikoo play.
mibr need time like all top teams for play the best level.
cogu
fnx
nak
bit1
BTT
are the best team mibr
KIKOOO pls leaves at this team
you make big problem for guys
GL mibr in next EVENT
He is right being annoyed spending a nice deal of money on this line up .
this is probably the most pressure you can put on anybody, and how you can expect people to perform when you say crap like this is beyond me
if he wants his team to perform, talk to them personally, dont call them out in front of the entire community, all thats gonna do is make them worry more and more
what were getting out of this is NOT that he believes in his team, just that he wants them to win, and if they dont, he'll cut them
thats not motivating...just DOUCHy.
Now, the last two big events mibr played, you all can check out the decisive games, BTT simply sinks in the game, and he seems to insist in taking the other players down with him. On the EM Dubai against mTw, when they switched to CT (right after an amazing and consistent play as T), they lost like 5 rounds in a row, and it was always where BTT were. Just because he can't make a difference as the other players, he should as well leave, as he doesn't seem to make any effort to become a better player. I know a lot of players in Brazil that could be much better than him, and even the other players in mibr, all they need is a chance to prove.
All Velloso have to do is a couple of things: First, is to give the team an ultimatum, that has already been done (and you can all wait to see them improving, because they will). Second, is to take BTT out of that team, all KIKOOO would have to do is find a better player, and there are many players that could do that (himself, bruno could also do the trick, spacca that once played for exotic.br), among others.
i could stop reading right there because it shows me how stupid you are. If you can't frag you can't win. How do people not understand this. Trying to rationalize someone's strength or weaknesses, and calling fragging ability unimportant is like calling someone a chess genius, when he doesn't even know how the pieces move on the board. Fragging is the fundamental the game is based on and it will ALWAYS be the most important part of the game. Certainly other points are important, but you will be hard-pressed to find a pro who aims worse than I do. In fact, if you were to go through mtw, sk, fnatic, estro, MYM, mibr and gg, you would not find a single player who is a poor shot.
By doing this hes probably gunna make mibr train real hard and hopefully they will do well the next event.
That team on paper should be able to place top 3 at any tourney. Not trying to sound like a mibr fanboy but there such so much firepower on that team its absurd. Although he is wrong in dismissing mym and estro as any other team he has the right to be upset his investment is not paying off.
one thing tho is that mibr organization has done a terrific job sending mibr to compete all over the world, that deserves a hand. But you cant expect perfection.
There is so much talent in this world. You just have to accept that you can't win all the time.
"Win or leave, you get to choose, it's all your responsibility. Good luck."
^ awesome line ^_^
* and whoever says that changing the roster won't help the team. it will help a damn lot to get some new fresh blood who have a real desire to win & improve.. the team's stagnating right now and it really needs a kick. the players of mibr have grown complacent.. i'd say he should bring ton into the main lineup.
On the other hand, teams that have enough skill to fight against them, like SK, fnatic,mtw as you said, has been able to defeat highly skilled teams like eSTRO a lot of times, not because they have more skill, but because of the "certainly other points that are important", points like intelligente or teamwork, that almost doesn't have any meaning in the game whatsoever.
That's why mousesports, who was never known for having the most madfragger players in the world, managed to beat MYM in the finals, and getting the hotspot, with MYM, SK, Fnatic, mtw, Gameplay, all behind them. But of course, the fragging was the definitive factor for them, not the outsmarting, fast thinking or more prepared teamplay, but their DeathMatch skills.
You seemed really disturbed about my commentary, it was just my opinion, you don't need to agree with it. It just seemed irrational the way you were portraying "fragging" as the almighty part of the game. Of course you need to frag to get the round, but it's not the points that make a team play better or worse, the points are just consequences.
"Fragging is the fundamental the game is based on and it will ALWAYS be the most important part of the game", yeah right...
PV is right in what he is saying, it's his time, effort and money getting mibr to tournaments. He want
the best he can back on his investments.
K23 is a good example of pure dedication and great coaching.
"If you can't frag you can't win."
zet can't frag and SK is in the finals ... why? cuz walle carries his team on his back ...
walle kills for himself and zet.
good luck to fnx, BTT, nak and bit1... won the next tournament or say goodbye to mibr organization.
cogu is the man, he cant be kicked... he is the mibr shinestar player.
gotfrag article have posted that kikoo wanted to create a B team and get the best out of the 10 players. that sounds like yet ANOTHER roster change. u cant dominate the world counterstrike scene with no team chemistry. of course, they need to change their mindset abt out gunning opponents. that will work if it was cs 5 years ago. not now
fact: they underestimate there opponets ( they think they are great but they still haven't won 2 major events)
fact: only cogu is answering at the last 4 tournaments
It doesn't matter if they are top5 of the world, they are paid to boe top1. i think ,ibr won like 2 pistols in the last three tournaments, they need to rework their strats, and study their opponents, and velloso is right about given them an ultimatum. take it or leave it.
winning eSTRO and MYM on their group isn't an easy thing to do , eSTRO are probably the best korean team the world has even known since Lunatic-hai , and MYM are extreamly strong no matter what people will say.
so, what's the point sending the team every month to sweden to pracc against SK and other scandinavian/european top teams if the team will change the lineup after another bad event?
ffs mibr , get yourself a stable lineup , pracc with this lineup and don't whine after every event.
good luck.
anyway BRING BACK TON PLZ :(
"Well, we just have to believe in who was once champion. KIKOOOO is in charge!, who is kiko? you think kiko is spawn/neo/f0rest/solo etc players? get a life.
