CS:GO: Tarik opens up on frustrations after MIBR\u2019s loss to Team Liquid at ESL Pro League finals DreamhackCS:GO fans can usually rely on MIBR\u2019s Tarik \u2018Tarik\u2019 Celik for good vibes, laughter and positivity but after another disappointing defeat, the rifler has again voiced his feelings about his team\u2019s struggles. After MIBR were soundly beaten 2-0 by Team Liquid in the semi-finals of the ESL Pro League Season 8 finals, there was little reason to be in a jovial mood. Liquid cruised past MiBR with a 16-2 win on Cache and a 16-8 victory on Overpass. In the crushing two-map defeat, Tarik posted 17 kills and 37 deaths as MIBR were blown away by his former OpTic Gaming teammate Keith \u2018NAF\u2019 Markovic. This loss, especially after how well MIBR performed earlier in the season finals tournament, seemed particularly hard for him to take. \u201cSad about the loss and can\u2019t help but feel there is a disconnect or missing element in our team,\u201d the former Major winner posted on Instagram. \u201cIt was the last event of the year with our full roster and I really wanted to end on a better note. I\u2019m not sure how we plan on fixing our problems yet, but I know that none of us want to play on a losing team. Sometimes I wish I had more of a voice. Anyway, there are still some positives to take away. Thanks to everyone who cheered for us, see you guys in Portugal.\u201d Sad about the loss and can\u2019t help but feel there is a disconnect or missing element in our team.

Following the team\u2019s heart-wrenching loss to Astralis in the Grand Final of ECS Season 6 Finals, Tarik posted a similar message to Twitter. However, Tarik and MIBR have a chance for a quick turnaround as they head to Lisbon, Portugal for the next Blast Pro Series event. Although, they will be without Fernando \u2018fer\u2019 Alvarenga as the Brazilian returns home for surgery. Current Swole Patrol player Braxton \u2018Swag\u2019 Pierce was announced as the stand-in for the MIBR squad. Both Tarik and his teammate Jake \u2018Stewie2K\u2019 Yip have plenty of experience playing alongside Swag and will be hoping for a winning performance in Lisbon to get the team back on track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
