TACO released by MIBR

The 25-year-old rifler is ready to sign with another organization.

Epitacio "⁠TACO⁠" de Melo is no longer under contract with MIBR, he announced on Friday. The Brazilian rifler was removed from the active lineup by the organisation in September 2020 alongside Fernando "⁠fer⁠" Alvarenga and coach Ricardo "⁠dead⁠" Sinigaglia following disappointing results during a bootcamp in Belgrade, Serbia.

TACO is currently seeking to form a new Brazilian team alongside João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos, Eduardo "⁠dumau⁠" Wolkmer, Bruno "⁠b4rtiN⁠" Câmara and Bruno "⁠latto⁠" Rebelatto, according to recent reports published by Globo Esporte and Draft5.

TACO is reportedly set to reunite with felps and dead in a new organisation

"This week I was able to get out of my contract with the last organisation," TACO wrote on Twitter. "I'm ready to sign with the next one!"

According to a recent report from Baserush, the Brazilian team, who will be coached by Olavo "⁠chucky⁠" Napoleão and managed by dead, are in advanced talks with GODSENT, who recently reached an agreement to sell their current roster to FunPlus Phoenix.

As for MIBR, they have only Alencar "⁠trk⁠" Rossato in the active lineup after Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe stepped down from the team earlier on Friday. Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo is also still under contract but will reportedly join Liquid ahead of the BLAST Global Finals.

2021-01-08 23:01
Are you stupid or what? Heni leaves best br team to join another team where bis brother wont play too? Stop smoking what youre smoking, its bad for you

trk has already said that the line up will be trk, kng, hen1, lucas1 and plus 2. Probably they will do similar with vitality where some players have the preference for some maps. That's already settled, and vsm has a very high chance of being in the plus 2. They pretty much did not stay with mibr because leo was too expensive to keep so I don't know if this new org would pay for him. Who knows.

Well, I thoght he was part of the new team that Cogu was going to form, but that means Brazil will have 7+ teams playing in NA/EU this year, wich can be very good, or bad if they don't make very strong rosters. Furia, MIBR, Team One, Pain, Boom, Cogu's project Dead's project
