After the match Raphael "exit" Lacerda was interviewed by host James Banks at the desk at the PGL Studios. In the end, Raphael "exit" Lacerda was given the chance to talk directly to all of the fans in Portuguese, which proved to be a tough task for the MIBR rifler who was overcome with emotions.

MIBR can qualify directly for the legends stage at PGL Antwerpen by winning their match against the winner of FURIA and Complexity.

MIBR confirmed the rumors about the addition of Raphael "⁠exit⁠" Lacerda. The Brazilian makes the move from another Brazilian team Sharks.

- I think that I am someone who can bring a lot to the team, and help get it to the top, where it deserves to be, the 24-year-old player says in a video interview.

"exit" will replace Daniel "⁠danoco⁠" Morgado in the first week of practice, but it has not yet been decided, who will play at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown tournament next month. 

MIBR ended ESL Pro League with a victory against Cloud9, and though the team did lack firepower during the tournament, there were also some promising signs for the future of the legendary Brazilian team.

Raphael "exit" Lacerda who has been on Sharks books since the organization entered Counter-Strike in 2017, could very soon be joining MIBR. According to HLTV.org, Sharks and MIBR have already agreed to terms over the deal, which should be finalized in just couple of days.

It’s still unclear if the 24-year-old will replace anyone in the starting lineup or if the team will switch to a six-man roster. However, MIBR have made no secret that they are open to the possibility of having a six-man lineup.

Sharks have announced that they have moved one of their roster-members in Leonardo "leo_drk" Oliveira to the bench. The Brazilian rifler explains the reasoning for this in a Twitlonger post stating that he is currently a part of a new project initiated by Raphael "cogu" Camargo. The project involves the five players that played under MIBR at the end of 2020 with the addition of Henrique "HEN1" Teles. 

"leo_drk" is one of the longest-serving members of the Sharks organization, having played for them since they entered the Counter-Strike scene in 2017. This could possibly end, however, as he seemingly has other plans in the works. 

Last Friday Sharks player Fillipe "pancc" Martins was suspended from the team for 6 months due to allegations regarding sexual harassment of a teenage girl. With "pancc" being suspended and "leo_drk" benched it leaves Sharks in a discombobulated place with only three players on their roster. Their roster currently looks like this:

HEN1

The tenured duo of Raphael “exit” Lacerda and Jhonatan “jnt” Silva have committed their future to Sharks and the experience of the two members will be a crucial pillar during this rebuilding period for Sharks.

Sharks recently signed Fillipe “pancc” Martins and Lucas “Lucaozy” Neves following the benching of Luca “Luken” Nadotti and departure of Mateus “supLex” Miranda.

Sharks will return to a full roster at the end of the year following the expiry of Leonardo “leo_drk” Oliveira’s loan deal with MIBR.
