MiBR drops TACO, fer, and dead as FalleN steps down from CS:GO roster

Controversy has seemed to follow MiBR everywhere it goes in recent weeks and months, and the organisation's latest announcement only furthers that.


Head coach Ricardo 'dead' Sinigaglia - who was recently banned by tournament organisers ESL and Beyond the Summit after being found guilty of exploiting the CS:GO spectator bug - and players Fernando '⁠fer⁠' Alvarenga and Epitacio 'TACO⁠' de Melo have all been dropped from the organisation due to MiBR wanting to make "some adjustments" to the roster. While this alone was big news for the Brazilian team, it was followed by in-game leader Gabriel 'FalleN' Toledo announcing that he would be stepping down from the roster too.


"I'm not satisfied with the recent decision," FalleN says in a Twitlonger. "[The] last weeks have been tough and challenging and that is why I'm asking to leave the active roster while I think on my next steps. This time will be necessary to find my essence and return [to] the peace I need to decide my path, while I accomplish my contractual obligations. The only thing I'm sure is this isn't where the game ends for me."
