The 29-year-old AWPer Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe was removed from 00Nation in April, which led to kNgV- starting to work on a new project "O PLANO". A plan that he wants to be as successful as possible. The new roster of O PLANO is kNgV-, NEKIZ, piriaz1n, yel, and caike. 

kNgV- and cogu (coach) bought in a young gun in piriaz1n, a 19-year-old who has a career rating of 1.08 playing only on the Brazilian scene. The other players on the roster are much more experienced with former MIBR player "yel" and the Los Grandes player "caike".

Fernando “fer” Alvarenga will no be playing with 00Nation in the future, the experienced Counter-Strike player confirms in an [link:{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OR8hcVAvGk&t","isNewTab":true,"text":"interview "}] with Jean Michel "mch" D'Oliveira. The two-time Major winner leaves his Brazilian countrymen after only having represented the team for two months, where he explains the decision by stating that “we were stressing each other more than we should.

[slugORMA:{"slug":"hes-back-fer-signs-with-00nation","isNewTab":true}]

- It's not cool for me, for the guys, for anyone, and I decided that I was going to play one or two more championships and then tell that it wasn't cool, and that we were stressing each other more than we should - for that reason it was over for me," fer said.

fer joined the Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe-side in mid-October this year, replacing the Teles twins in HEN1 and Lucas1. The 30-year-old rifler only got to play seven matches with 00Nation, which only resulted in two victories. In the short period, fer averaged a 0.93 Rating / 71.4 ADR.

- We didn't manage to have significant results or anything, but, within the team, I think I was able to help the guys with a lot of things that were lacking, some basic fundamentals of the game, functions that were not very well understood. We talked a lot, kNg is a guy who likes to talk a lot. I think they managed to improve. But in the games, we weren’t able to perform what we did in training – Fer stated in the interview.

00Nation will field the following roster in the future.

The Brazilian superstars from O PLANO, led by renowned players like Vito “⁠kNgV-⁠” Giuseppe, Henrique “⁠HEN1⁠” Teles, and Lucas “⁠LUCAS1⁠” Teles, looks to finally have found a new CS:GO home. The star-studded roster has been without an organization since the start of this year when they announced their breakup with MIBR.

O PLANO has been in talks with Nordavind for a potential partnership and takeover of the team. Both media sites inform that the team are in negotiations with the Nordic org.

The report emerged after only hours of Nordavind having announced the benching of their entire roster. That makes room for kNgV- and company, which could be the second Brazilian roster represented by a Scandinavian organization, with GODSENT’s signing of Epitacio “TACO” de Melo’s CS:GO project in January 2021.

Thursday night/morning featured two fierce playoff matches at cs_summit 8, where we saw EXTREMUM take on the dominant Extra Salt in the early match and O PLANO vs. paiN in the later matchup.

Extra Salt came into the matchup against a star-studded EXTREMUM-side as favourites, owing to their great form lately. However, the dominance was put on a halt, as Aaron “AZR” Ward and his soldiers managed to grab a much-needed 2-1 win.

EXTREMUM – Extra Salt (2-1) | cs_summit 8

13-16 (Vertigo) | {cflag:ZA} Sonic – 1.40 Rating / 26-18 K-D / 91.0 ADR

16-8 (Dust2) | {cflag:AU} Liazz – 1.77 Rating / 26-11 K-D / 107.3 ADR

The later matchup was a true Brazilian derby with the two promising and powerful sides in O PLANO and paiN clashing together at the lower bracket as well. A fight, which the former MIBR roster led by Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe ended up winning, where the IGL himself was the highlight player for O PLANO.

There has been a lot of talking and waiting, since the news emerged about a new star-studded Brazilian roster, back in January this year. A team, which later on would call themselves O PLANO, “The Plan”. The roster consists of strong and established players like Vito "⁠kNgV-" Giuseppe, Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles, and Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles mixed with some promising youngsters.

[slugORMA:{"slug":"o-plano-takes-down-furia-shock-win","isNewTab":false}]

The team has in vain looked for an organization to fund them for some months now, where the iconic org in ENVY, at some time were mentioned as a possibility. However, the Brazilians has announced that they will begin their journey towards the PGL Major without an org, as they state “The mystery is over, today we started this independent project”

The team has started its journey towards qualifying for the next Major in Stockholm in October. So far the results have been mixed, but there is still hope for the new roster. We have gathered highlights from the first matches of O PLANO.

[image:{"source":"cloudinary","publicId":"MIBR_roster_a1wcc1","originalWidth":1008,"originalHeight":567,"cloudinaryAssetData":true,"cloudName":"pley-gg","format":"jpg","caption":"Credit: MIBR"}]

The former MIBR roster will unite once again after a rather successful period at the iconic Brazilian team.

Following the statement, the team captain Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe publicized that Alencar "⁠trk⁠" Rossato has been removed from their active roster, owing to Valve’s new regulations concerning 6-man rosters, and the fact that Vinicius "⁠vsm⁠" Moreira is no longer VAC-banned.

- Therefore, we have a new responsibility, to decide who the 5 players will be. As we are a family, making this decision was not easy. Other times they decided to remove the 6th player rule and we chose not to follow this path, because our strength is in the group.

Then, in an act of democracy and humility, we opened a vote and decided to start the championship with “TRK” on the replacement list. This does not mean that we will continue this way until the end of the Major race. We are ready for a replacement anytime we need it.

The star-studded Brazilians from O PLANO, led by Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe and the profiled Teles twins, went official two days ago, as the former MIBR-roster announced their entry on the Counter-Strike, in an alleged “independent project”.

The newly established team got their debut yesterday at the important cs_summit Open Qualifier, which serves as a qualifying event for the PGL Major later this year. kNgV- and company kicked off their new journey with two striking victories against the two strong NA teams in Party Astronauts (former High Coast roster) and Triumph.

In the two 2-0 wins, the highlight players were the former FURIA superstar Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles and the promising Vinicius "⁠vsm⁠" Moreira. The duo had a very strong showing, where they averaged a 1.29 and 1.31 Rating respectively. HEN1, vsm and the rest of O PLANO will play at the closed qualifier at cs_summit 8, which starts on the 14th of May. 

16-5 (Inferno) | LUCAS1 – 1.75 Rating / 21-8 K-D / 99.4 ADR

16-12 (Dust2) | LUCAS1 – 1.25 Rating / 24-22 K-D / 90.4 ADR

19-16 (Dust2) | vsm – 1.34 Rating / 29-21 K-D / 84.1 ADR

16-13 (Nuke) | vsm – 1.61 Rating / 30-20 K-D / 116.8 ADR

Sources state that the possible new Brazilian team O'PLANO is getting closer and closer to finding an organization to support their dreams of creating a new six-man roster. The six Brazilians in question are Lucas "LUCAS1" Teles, Vito "kNgV-"Giuseppe, Alencar "trk" Rossato, Henrique "HEN1" Teles, Leonardo "leo_drk" Oliveira, and Vinicius "vsm" Moreira. 

The only player out of the six players who is currently a free agent is "LUCAS1". The remaining five are said to be in talks with their respective organizations in regards to the new project. Players are hoping to finalize the negotiations in the upcoming days so that they are able to travel to Mexico and take part in the upcoming open qualifier for cs_summit 8. The event is scheduled to take place May 1-2.

The newly established CS:GO project by the former MIBR coach Raphael "cogu" Camargo is according to sources, in advanced talks with the Brazilian organization Flamengo Esports. It’s the Brazilian CS:GO site Baserush who has published a report, stating that the red-black org is close to signing the profiled roster led by Vito “kNgV-“ Giuseppe and “Henrique” HEN1” Teles.

The new project has been rumoured for some time now, but it was first recently that the individuals confirmed the creation of a new superstar roster. The former MIBR roster tried to stay together at the iconic organization, however, the two parties couldn’t agree on a mutual deal, resulting in a mass evasion by coach cogu and the entire squad.

Flamengo Esports already feature teams in multiple esports as in PES, Free Fire and a leading League of Legends team. And if this deal goes through, the Brazilian organization also could compete on the very top of CS:GO, due to the experience and high abilities of the likes as kNgV-, HEN1 and vsm.

It has been heavily rumoured for days, that a potential dissolution of the entire roster of MIBR was on the cards. Something, Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe only confirms with an announcement of his exit from the iconic organization.

“This is it guys, we could not make an agreement with mibr, and the problem was never the money, lack of dialogue and low interest made us to decide to seek for a new home.

When I was hired for MIBR I believed it was in a team that was close to being a success and I was there to help. But I found a team with internal and external issues and a hard way to go through, we tried really hard as individual and collectively but unfortunately we could not make it. The damage was done.” 

Picture: (Left-right ) vsm, Lucas1, kNgV-, leo_drk, trk and cogu

The 28-year old player continues by saying that, even though the roster did good, nothing changed. The former Immortal player also explains that in his time at MIBR, he did things above his role as a player.

“Had to admit, there was a moment with a lot of synergy and we believed that we were close to evolving our collectively level and starting winning, unfortunately, nothing changed. Thanks to Fallen, Fer, Taco and Dead, I learned and keep learning from you guys, all the opportunities that were a pass to me. In that point, I took the tough commitment to lead and rebuilt this heavy tag.

I took a lot of responsibility being a leader, I had to build a crew to work with me, doing so I could be more focus playing, but at the same time, I had my social media, videos, etc, working at the same page as me! What I'm saying is, I was hired to do a normal player role, but at the end, I was doing so much more and I give all my best to deliver a good show for all.”

Made In Brazil (MIBR) was the talk of the town in 2018 when they launched as the new Brazilian powerhouse in CS:GO. With legendary players as Coldzera, fer, and FalleN they have fielded some of the best Brazilian players in history.

But in the summer of 2020, it all started to crumble. 

In late 2020 the Brazilian Organization acquired LUCAS1, v$m, and leo_drk and played the remaining year with the three players plus kNgv- and trk on the roster. The new roster played BLAST Premier Fall Series, BLAST Premier Fall Showdown, Flashpoint 2 together. They managed to defeat teams as Furia, FaZe, and OG along the way.

But at the start of this year, MIBR announced that they would look to replace LUCAS1, v$m, and leo_drk.

In addition, the interim coach Raphael "⁠cogu⁠" Camargo also left MIBR. But what really happened?

On Reddit, a user has taken his time to transcribe a long live stream with the Brazilian streamer Gaules, who was joined by some of the main persons around the team. You can read the full summary here.

[link:{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/kshtuz/summary_of_brazilian_recent_scenedrama/"}]

The dissolution of the otherwise exciting MIBR roster seems inevitable after several players have left the Brazilian top team and expressed their critique towards the organization. Yesterday, a report emerged, stating that the recently resigned coach of MIBR Raphael "cogu" Camargo is trying to build a new CS:GO team, consisting the former MIBR roster, however, under a completely new banner.

The players and cogu have expressed a desire to stay together as a team, something MIBR hasn’t felt possible due to inflexibility from the players and unsuccessful renegotiations between the organization and the roster. Something, which clearly explains and supports the rumours about cogu and his new CS:GO project. 

This has meant that Lucas "LUCAS1" Teles has gone to Twitter, exposing MIBR and the alleged renegotiation by criticising the organization. Where further sources also state that no official offers have been made between MIBR and Sharks, in the resigning of Leonardo "leo_drk" Oliveira.

[link:{"url":"https://globoesporte.globo.com/esports/csgo/noticia/recusa-de-cogu-impasse-com-a-sharks-os-obstaculos-do-mibr-para-2021.ghtml"}]

MIBR has secured the biggest scalp of their European campaign yet, defeating the no. #6 ranked team in the world on Nuke (16-10) and Dust2 (16-3) where they dominated throughout the whole game, starting with 11 rounds in a row.

Vito “kNgV-“ Giuseppe and company will face off fnatic in the next stage of the tournament on Thursday at 18:00 (CEST) while OG has to battle their way out of the lower bracket beginning on Wednesday at 18:00 (CEST) against Dignitas.

This is what leo_drk had to say about their performance on Dust2 in an interview after the match:

[twitchClip:BloodyNeighborlyJuiceBloodTrail]

Two times 13-2. That was the result of Team Liquids' two CT-sides in the match against MIBR.

The Brazilians never really stood a chance against a very well playing Team Liquid.

It started horribly for MIBR on their map pick Nuke. kNgV and the rest of his teammates seemed shellshocked by the dominance of Team Liquid.

On the Brazilians CT-side, they did manage to make a small comeback, but there was never any doubt about the result. Team Liquid won Nuke by 16-11.

Michael “Grim” Wince continued his impressive start to the European campaign for the North Americans, who also relied on Twistzz, who was the top fragger on Nuke with 24 kills.

On Dust 2 it was again Team Liquid who started brilliantly. Again they went to the half with a commanding 13-2 lead. This time the fighting spirit of the Brazilians was gone, and the match ended with a 16-2 humiliation.

Team Liquid will play the Semi-Finals tomorrow against Furia. The winner of the match will qualify for the BLAST Fall Finals.

Trivia is a type of game in which players are asked questions about different topics and they have to get as many correct answers as possible.

These Brazilians definitely know how to make good content.

Watch the trivia battle from MIBR’s youtube channel right here:

MIBR got the perfect start to BLAST Premier Fall Showdown and are through to the quarter-final stage after demolishing FaZe 2-0 on Nuke (22-20) and Dust2 (16-11). The Marcelo “coldzera” David-led team dominated at the beginning of the first map and got a 9-1 lead, but MIBR started to play without fear by turning up the pace and managed to take three more rounds before switching sides to CT, where they came back from 4-14 to take the game into overtime before closing out the game. 

The Brazilians carried their momentum into Dust2 and stormed to a 9-0 lead with the whole squad stepping up. FaZe managed to cut the gap to 11-13, but their hope for a comeback got destroyed in the following round as MIBR shocked them with an eco-round win that changed the game as MIBR took the last remaining rounds before the victory. 

Alencar “trk” Rossato was the top player overall on the server finishing the series with a rating of 1.19 and 81.2% KAST, but it’s worth also mention Vinicius “vsm” Moreira and Vito “kNgV” Giuseppe as they both popped off during the whole game with unbelievable clutches and important plays. 

MIBR will face off the winner of Thursday’s series between Liquid and MAD Lions in a quarter-final clash, while FaZe clan got handed an exit with today's loss.

Vito “kNgV” Giuseppe spoke with hltv.org in an interview regarding their first stages as a team at Flashpoint and BLAST Premier.

The 28-year-old Brazilian thinks their aggressive playstyle which doesn’t hold anyone back have some benefits, but still needs to be improved.

“I think we need to improve our executions. We’re still making a few mistakes sometimes, but it’s a process. We are learning from our mistakes. We had only one week to prepare for the match against Astralis, so we adopted a style that, instead of being very tactical or complex, had a lot to do with communication and companionship. If someone wants to make a play, then the team will act accordingly, instead of having people making plays by themselves. I think everyone understood that philosophy in which everyone helps each other, and I think it’s working out.” “kNgV” explained.

MIBR just got the perfect start to their first elimination match against FaZe at BLAST Premier Fall Showdown by winning the first map in the series in a 4-14 comeback, taking the game into overtime before wrapping it up 22-20.

Astralis

The 28-year-old Brazilian looks at some different clips in an interview with Betway Esports and has to comment whether he thinks it's a pro playing or some random amateur player.

MIBR showcased a brilliant performance in the matchup against Envy. The Brazilian side defeated their opponent from Envy 2-1 by victories on Nuke (16-12) and Inferno (16-9).

MIBR played very well throughout the match and didn’t look like a team that only has played together for some weeks. Besides playing well together, MIBR’s strong individuals in kNgV- and trk popped off and were two big factors in this impressive win. kNgV- were especially dominant today putting up an imposing stat line 75-50 k/d, 92.8 ADR, 1.42 rating.

Checkout these impressive individual highlights from the match by the MIBR players.
