MIBR upsets Fnatic at IEM Katowice
The Swedes are knocked out of IEM Katowice after being 2-0'ed.
The Brazilian team MIBR is through to the last round of the qualifying tournament at IEM Katowice after they defeated Fnatic. Despite being dubbed as underdogs, they managed to win a clear 2-0 victory.
On Dust2 they controlled the map until the end, where the Swedes were trying to force their way back. But with an incredible ace, Bruno "shz" Martinelli got in their way and helped MIBR with the last push to secure the victory.
The new roster from MIBR continued to deliver some great CS:GO on Overpass. Again Bruno "shz" Martinelli dominated the server but were this time joined by teammate Ricardo "boltz" Prass. It was 8-7 at halftime, but from then on it was only one-way traffic. The Brazilians pierced through the Swedish defense in the second half and won the map 16-9.
Fnatic is now eliminated from IEM Katowice. A disappointing result from the new roster that started very well in cs_summit, but could not follow up on it at this tournament. MIBR will have to make another surprise to qualify for the main event. They will face the world's number 4 later tonight when they face BIG.
MIBR - Fnatic 2-0 (16-12, 16-9)
MVP: Ricardo "boltz" Prass - 1.43 rating / 38-19 K-D / 90.6 ADR
