The 18-year-old Breno "⁠brnz4n⁠" Poletto will continue to be a part of the MIBR roster at IEM Katowice next week.

The Brazilian team had the option to get Marcelo "⁠chelo⁠" Cespedes back on the roster, after the 23-year-old rifler has recovered from Covid-19, but has chosen to continue with brnz4n for the upcoming event. In the twitter post, coach Renato "⁠nak⁠" Nakano cites continuity as the main reason for sticking with Breno "⁠brnz4n⁠" Poletto.

At BLAST Premier Spring Groups, MIBR defeated Natus Vincere and Complexity but failed to qualify for the Spring Finals after defeats to Vitality and G2.

IEM Katowice will start on the 15th of February with the Play-in.

The fifth match of the day had MIBR matching up vs. Astralis to fight for a spot in the Group B Final vs. OG. Both of them have already lost once against OG and both of them have beaten the world's #1 team of Na'Vi. The battleground upon which this Group B Consolidation Final would take place was Overpass, with the Brazilians starting on the defending side and the Danes in the role of the terrorists.

MIBR started the map with a clean pistol round and they were able to convert it into three more with great help from stand-in "brnz4n". The Danes eager to not become the next meal of the Brazilians put their name on the board and went on a little streak of their own, taking six of the next seven rounds. MIBR were able to take back the lead, but it was only a small one as the teams headed to halftime at 8-7.

Starting the second half MIBR lost their first pistol round of the day after a smooth triple kill from "Lucky". The Danes used this momentum to take back the lead, and build a solid economy for their CT-side. This fueled them into an eight-round win streak that netted them match point before MIBR were able to take their first round on the T-side. The Brazilians didn't manage to keep the rounds coming and Astralis closed out the game at 16-9 and will be facing OG in the Group B Final.

The #1 team Na'Vi took on the #56 of MIBR and unsurprisingly took the win without too much trouble. The map picked by the teams was Dust2, a map that both teams should be happy to play considering that they both have a 100% win rate on for the past three months.

Despite Na’Vi being the clear-cut favorites, it was the Brazilians who got off to the best start on their T-side picking up three straight rounds before the stars of Na’Vi were able to break the streak. The CIS-roster then caught fire, securing five rounds in a row, and it started looking scary for MIBR as they were being read time and time again. The Brazilians didn’t feel the pressure and just kept playing their game and were able to neutralize the threat of superstar “s1mple” almost completely. MIBR went to halftime with a very surprising lead of 8-7.

The Brazilians kept pressing their lead after another pistol round win, but quickly got equalized and overtaken by “Boombl4” and co. at 11-10. But a shaky-looking Na’Vi weren’t able to hold on to the lead and it was an all-around solid MIBR that reached match point at 15-11, looking to do the impossible, which was achieved at 16-12.
