The last few weeks have been full of turmoil for the CSGO community. What started with the most anticipated tournament of the summer (ESL One Cologne), ended with a controversy that has left a deep stain on competitive Counter-Strike.

Officials have temporarily banned three coaches from ESL for their involvement in the scandal. Michal Slowinski had started the investigation that unearthed a lot of names. Moreover, the teams have been conducting investigations of their own to get to the bottom of the issue that has plagued their reputation.
Brazilian CSGO team, MiBR took the first step into making adjustments to their roster by letting go of FalleN, fer, TACO, and coach “dead”. MiBR has enjoyed the status of being one of the most prominent CS:GO teams. However, things were far from satisfactory in recent months.
CSGO: MiBR let go of players to look into roster adjustment
MiBR decided to make changes after a series of disastrous performances. FalleN, fer and TACO have been a deadly trio in CS:GO competitive. FalleN and fer had started playing together in 2014 and were largely responsible for MiBR’s success in those years. Moreover, the roster saw a massive upgrade when TACO joined it. The trio won several titles and became one of the most successful teams in CS:GO.
However, the team has struggled to perform in the last two years. Their last major victory came in 2018, and they haven’t touched the top 10 rankings since July 2019. The recent ‘coach bug’ scandal added fuel to fire that led to this decision.
The CS:GO players and the community took to Twitter to respond to the decision made by MiBR.
No matter what you can believe and say, especially regarding latest times at the Brazilian camp. You can Never ever discredit what they have achieved and done.. Still in shock and have directly no idea what to feel.. Sad, is one of the few words that I can say/feel
I’ve been calling for a cultural change in MIBR on the desks, for so many events.. every time I’ve been told to calm down, and wait it out. It blows my mind people haven’t been able to see it early on. Taco and Fer are fantastic individuals, and there’ll be a place for them.
Despite the train wreck that MiBR became at the end in and out of the game, let's not forget this is really the end of an era that had a monumental impact on CSGO. Their rise in CS was a fascinating rags to riches tale that made others dream. Now let the winds of change blow
Sad to see the MIBR boys split up but hope the best for both sides! Sometimes change can be good
A lot of things has happened around mibr lately. One thing is certain: you can NEVER doubt their effort in grinding and working hard.. I am truly gonna miss the rivalry we had over the years. hope they come back! I guess nothing lasts forever 😔 good luck to all of them 🙏🏼
MIBR 😰 F
WAIT WTF MIBR CHANGED THEIR ROSTER NO MORE FER TACO OR DEAD THIS CANT BE REAL
press F to pay respect MIBR Fallen Taco Fer Dead
What's going on at MiBR? The Brazilian #CSGO team has dropped coach dead, along with players TACO and fer, and FalleN has stepped down 😬 theloadout.com/csgo/mibr-fall…
Anyone not seeing this? Taco, Dead and Fer are all direct stakeholders of YEAH gaming. The penny has dropped for Mibr. They know that when the match fixing investigation concludes they are absolutely fucked to high heaven.
MIBR part ways with fer, TACO & dead hltv.org/news/30283/mib…
Gaules is a dickhead but implying he hasn't supported MiBR almost unconditionally is ridiculous.
It's funny I was telling people after watching @HenryGcsgo interview with Monte and Thorin that I wouldn't be surprised to see fer on cloud9 given mibr's situation. That prediction is looking a whole lot better now...
Also, the outgoing players, including the stalwart of the organization, FalleN, shared a message via TwitLonger.
“We entered as a team and we must leave, as we continue day after day side by side, motivated by the true passion for playing. Each morning, we wake up imbued with the mission to overcome ourselves and seek to be better.”
The following weeks will be pretty integral for the Brazilian organization. While MiBR has announced a roster adjustment, it will be an uphill task considering they will have to present a new squad from scratch. Be that as it may, fans over the world are curious to see the players MiBR will target next.
