While zews didn\u2019t coach them for long, he did briefly coach SK Gaming back in 2016, making this a homecoming of sort for him as well. The move comes as rumors swirl that MIBR is looking to put together an all-Brazilian roster ahead of the upcoming Major. While Tarik \u2018tarik\u2019 Celik still remains on the MIBR, he is expected to be moved in the coming weeks to make room for Jo\u00e3o \u2018felps\u2019 Vasconcellos, who the team is rumored to be set on acquiring from INTZ. The transfer also will likely spell the end of Janko \u2018YNk\u2019 Paunovic as coach of MIBR. After the latest shakeup, Team Liquid back with an all-North American roster similar to what they have fielded in the past. Stewie2k will bring along his Major winning experience as Team Liquid looks to reach new heights in 2019 and beyond.
