MiBR players reveal what it was like to play CSGO with their coach Igor Bezborodov and StarLadderJust before the CS:GO team at Moscow. MiBR believe that they are on the road back to top form. The road they\u2019ve taken through 2019 has not been the easiest, having ended last year and beginning this year by scrapping their Stewie2K\/tarik experiment, as well as starting anew with an all-Brazilian lineup. Despite a strong start to the year with a semifinals appearance at the Katowice major, the rest of the year was a struggle for a roster core that once was dominating Counter-Strike as SK Gaming just two years ago. This year, MiBR was humiliated in front of their hometown fans at BLAST S\u00e3o Paulo, made two fruitless trips to China with WESG and StarSeries season 7, and had several less-than-stellar finishes before and after their best player asked to be benched. But the Brazilian boys have stayed positive through all of it \u2013 even having to play alongside the man who usually stands behind them, their coach. \u201cPlaying with our coach was a big challenge for us, and we survived,\u201d Epit\u00e1cio \u2018TACO\u2019 de Melo told Frankie. \u201cWe learned a lot of lessons. If we can take the best of a bad situation then I\u2019m happy. I think we are mentally a stronger team.\u201d Watch BLAST Pro Series Moscow \u2013 BLAST Backstage from BLASTProSeries on www.twitch.tvIt takes a special kind of mental strength to withstand such a rough year, but Gabriel \u2018FalleN\u2019 Toledo took the time to acknowledge how hard it was for coach zews, and give him his due credit for hanging in there. \u201cIt\u2019s hard. He was having fun and learning a lot. He knew it\u2019s very hard to become a player [again] after a number of years. He was a really good player.\u201d Zews stepped in to fill a player spot for the Berlin major, where MiBR went 1-3 and experienced one of the unluckier draws when it came to the toughness of their opponents. When Frankie brought up that they had to face ENCE, G2, and Na\u2019Vi after they beat NiP, FalleN chuckled and said, \u201cNow that you say that I\u2019m starting to feel better about it.\u201d \u201cGoing towards the major we had some bad days and we had days that went well,\u201d TACO continued. \u201cWe got a little sad after the competition. But we played some good opponents, and we have nothing to be ashamed of.\u201d MiBR are in good spirits after the acquisition of kNg, admitting that they\u2019ve been after his services for quite some time. \u201cHe\u2019s a great player,\u201d said TACO. \u201cWe\u2019ve always wanted to play with him. Every time we thought about changing someone, we wanted Vito. It didn\u2019t work out then, but this time it worked.\u201d BLAST Moscow will be the first event for kNg under the MiBR banner, and the team has high expectations for this tournament. They\u2019ve identified ENCE and Na\u2019Vi as the teams to be the most worried about, and will meet Na\u2019Vi in the first round of what will be the sendoff tournament for Na\u2019Vi\u2019s in-game leader Danylo \u2018Zeus\u2019 Teslenko.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
