Leonardo “leo_drk” Oliveira is currently without a team as he sits on the bench at 00Nation with the team looking to replace the 22-year-old rifler. But if you take a quick look at his Twitch channel, some could wonder why the Brazilian international doesn’t have a team at the moment.

Just sit back and enjoy leo_drk dismantle his opponents in this stellar 1v4 clutch on Mirage.

The rumors about "leo_drk" leaving 00NATION have now been confirmed. The Brazilian has been moved to the bench after having been a part of the roster since September 2021.

[slugORMA:{"slug":"media-00nation-bench-brazilian-rifler","isNewTab":true}]

"leo_drk" posted a video on Twitter where he explains that the decision was based on the role changes that came after "coldzera", "malbsMd", and "try" joined the squad, and the team's failure to perform at the expected level.

According to [link:{"url":"https://www.dust2.com.br/noticias/28386/leo-drk-deixa-time-titular-da-00nation","isNewTab":true,"text":"Dust2.br"}] and [twitter:https://twitter.com/roque_mn], 00Nation has decided to bench Leonardo “leo_drk” Oliveira from their starting lineup and is “awaiting a proposal to leave the organization”, the Brazilian outlet states.

An official announcement will reportedly soon be communicated. 

paiN's profiled rifler Rodrigo "biguzera" Bittencourt and Lucas "Lucaozy" Neves from Shark on the radar as a potential replacement, the report also says.

leo_drk joined 00Nation back in September 2021 when the Norwegian organization signed the entire O Plano roster led by Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe. However, the organization quickly moved into another direction with the acquisition of Marcelo “coldzera” David, Mario “malbsMd” Samayoa and Santino “try” Rigal.

If the rumors about leo_drk’s benching are true, Vinicius “v$m” Moreira will be the only left standing from the original O Plano roster.

The Norwegians from 00Nation have completed their starting lineup for the upcoming 2022 season, confirming that Leonardo “leo_drk” Oliveira and Vinicius “vsm” Moreira are staying with the team. The former MIBR duo will join forces with Marcelo “coldzera” David, who headlines the South American roster.  

00Nation has also announced the addition of the 24-year-old coach João "⁠righi⁠" Righi from Team Finest. The talented head coach will take over the whelm of the roster, which also features promising players like Mario "⁠malbsMd⁠" Samayoa and Santino "⁠try⁠" Rigal.

- I think this is my biggest professional career challenge yet, but also the happiest moment in my career. I really believe in the project. And I’m super proud to be working with these hard-working talented people, Righi said in a video statement.

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.

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 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.

[link:{"url":"Read more. \"Former coach takes the entire roster with him\"\n\n[link:{\"url\":\"https://pley.gg/news/media-former-coach-takes-entire-mibr-roster-with/\"}]"}]

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.

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.

Read more. "Media: Former coach takes the entire MIBR roster with him"

[link:{"url":"https://pley.gg/news/media-former-coach-takes-entire-mibr-roster-with/"}]

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"}]

The 21-year old entry-fragger Leonardo "leo_drk" Oliveira has been part of the new-look MIBR team who has been playing very well since they have acquired their new trio in vsm, Lucas1 and as mentioned leo_drk.

In yesterday’s matchup against forZe, leo_drk dismantled the entire Russian team in a beautiful ace on Inferno.

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.

It was a one-sided affair in today's matchup between BIG vs. MIBR. The German team took down MIBR, dominating Mirage (16-2) and Dust2 (16-2) in the opening match in Group B.

BIG made light work of MIBR and so did Florian “syrsoN” who led the action with a 1.47 rating, and 58-29 K-D. On the other team Leonardo “leo_drk” Oliveira had a disappointing game delivering a rating on only 0.65, and 27-52 K-D.

MIBR will now compete in the lower bracket against Envy on Friday 13th, while BIG face-off forZe in the Group B upper bracket final where the winner advances to playoffs.

Sharks have announced that they have worked out a transfer with DETONA and secured Lucaozy to the roster. This is the organization's second signing in just two weeks following the transfer of Fillipe “pancc” Martins from W7M.

The 19-year-old Brazilian have spent over a year with DETONA and helped the squad to win the OMEN Atlantic Challenge in Lisbon. Sharks will return to a full roster following the expiry of Leonardo “leo_drk” Oliveira’s loan deal with MIBR.

Coach Hélder “coachi” Sancho expressed his happiness on Twitter, saying “I am very happy that we have signed Lucaozy. I am sure that he will have more impact with us than he’s ever had before.”

Final day of BLAST Premier Fall Series Group Stage, featuring a dramatic do or die game between MIBR and G2 where the winner will take on Astralis in the grand final later tonight. Can G2 make up for yesterday’s loss, or will MIBR continue to surprise the scene and outlast them in this epic brawl?

Astralis

The number 4 ranked team in the world has been eliminated and sent to the Showdown event after a 2-1 loss against their rivals from Brazil. After an impressive performance against Astralis yesterday, MIBR punished FURIA on the same maps today, and live to fight another day in the BLAST Premier Fall Series.

MIBR continued surprising everyone by outlasting FURIA and closing the last map of the series in convincing fashion 16-4 (Vertigo). kNgV and leo_drk had a great performance on the closing map, but trk shined over all three maps with a 54-36 K-D and 1.25 rating.

The guys from MIBR showed amazing heart believing in each other all the way through and will now look forward to an exciting clash against the new G2 roster on Wednesday afternoon.

FURIA

MIBR’s leo_drk tried to humiliate his opponent KSCERATAO with a knife kill, but it all turned horrible as he was denied, resulting in him losing his life and instead could see FURIA win the round.
