O PLANO goes official as independent project*

1/5/2021 - 19:38

The members of the Brazilian squad have parted ways with their former organizations and will be competing as O PLANO in the cs_summit 8 qualifier.

Update: Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe has released a Twitlonger in which he revealed that, for the time being, Alencar "⁠trk⁠" Rossato will act as a substitute in the six-man roster. The 28-year-old stressed that this could change in the future should the team need to make adjustments.

O PLANO have gone official, the squad revealed via Twitter on Saturday, announcing the team's imminent return to competition. The lineup that impressed as MIBR at the end of 2020 — joined by Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles in the meantime —, is finally free to compete after its members parted ways with the organizations they were tied to.

As previously reported by HLTV.org and ge, the players had been negotiating contract releases directly with the teams — MIBR, FURIA, Sharks, and DETONA —, without another organization being involved. "Today we started our journey towards the Major", kNgV- stated ahead of their debut under the O PLANO banner.

O PLANO aim to qualify for the North American RMR event

The inception of O PLANO was a result of failed negotiations with MIBR in January. With five players contracted to four different teams and only Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles a free agent, the squad spent five months out of action. While O PLANO's search for a new organization seemingly did not bear fruit, getting out of their previous contracts allows them to compete in tournaments once again.

The team's debut under the new name will take place in the open qualifiers for cs_summit 8, the North American Regional Major Ranking (RMR) event, which will take place on May 1-2 and May 8-9. As the squad features six players, and Vinicius "⁠vsm⁠" Moreira was recently cleared to play Valve-sponsored events, it remains to be seen which roster O PLANO will field moving forward.

O PLANO are now:

Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe
Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles
Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles
Leonardo "⁠leo_drk⁠" Oliveira
Vinicius "⁠vsm⁠" Moreira

Raphael "⁠cogu⁠" Camargo (coach)

Alencar "⁠trk⁠" Rossato (substitute)

calm down man, they started today, no one starts big

They already started big. They had the backing of MIBR

2021-05-02 05:41

So what is the plano then

the plan - just play open qualifiers and hope for the best

2021-05-01 19:40

Yes kkk

2021-05-01 19:49

wtf 200iq

Play rmr events as they can still go to the major. Spots are owned by players not orgs

2021-05-02 04:20

But didn't they turndown RMR. Events since MIBR got reduced to 0 when dead cheated?

2021-05-02 10:00

nice

lol

ahahhhahaahahahha

LUL

LMAO

lmao all for that

DAILY O PLANO THREADS WORKED

They still don't got a real org.

2021-05-02 10:04

I mean... We all know CSGO esports is going through some issues and they probably were asking for waaaay too much. So yeah, orgs really being cautious w/ CS.

2021-05-02 14:42

Who would wanna pay a salary for this core? It is a bomb that will detonate any second. Not even with the massive fanbase that comes with this roster does it seem like anyone seem to think it is worth it. Multiple orgs have been connected to the roster, but not a single one accepted the demands from the players. They called it market value, but not even during an RMR event would anyone pick them up for free.

2021-05-02 17:05

2021-05-02 10:06

Daily threats worked!!

Where did ENVY announce this?

2021-05-01 23:56

why would envy sign these idiots xD . they only ruin brands

Why would they wait until after CS Summit? I have heard that ever since they refused to play for MIBR. That was literally almost 6 months ago

idk, but they are in Mexico, so some org paid for their trip

2021-05-02 12:41

Reading in a 2nd language is hard They got help from a company to settle their contracts, most likely just consulting, but possibly monetary help as well They got enough money individually to go to Mexico, without issues. If they had an org they would be able to get work visa for US and get past the covid restrictions

2021-05-02 17:02

i did'nt about it, thx

2021-05-02 18:59

no, even fallen is going to play the rmr at mexico

How come?

2021-05-05 15:55

Translation: nobody wanted to pay our salaries and buyouts, so we have to play as a mix xDDDDDD

2021-05-01 19:46

Are you dumb? You know that someone paid for their buyouts,right? Otherwise, they couldn’t play this qualifier.

2021-05-01 20:05

The orgs probably let them out for a fraction so they wouldn't have to pay their salaries.

2021-05-01 20:08

I heard they paid for their own buyouts

2021-05-01 23:07

Totally correct.

2021-05-01 20:37

didnt saw done the same?

2021-05-01 21:05

not really, they had backing from the start, which becomes obvious when you note the fact that they didn't sit out 5 months after leaving their previous teams. plus, the saw org even has a valorant lineup now

2021-05-01 21:10

ah i was thinking they done like the project and then got sponsors and things like that.

2021-05-01 21:19

That's NoChance

2021-05-01 22:58

Yeah, but no chance didn't play together under an org, but started together as free agents and didn't sit around talking smack and not touching the game for 5 months

2021-05-02 10:08

Yep, they grinded hard to get where they are now. No Plano think they can do jack shit and sponsors and teams will all want to sign them.

2021-05-02 10:17

Yep, and their fans still think they gonna get mega salaries any day now, and that winning 16-2 against an ESEA Advanced team is displaying them being top 10

2021-05-02 16:32

pog

I thought they had an org backing them they said a couple weeks ago?

Its stange that vsm got released this close from the qualifiers... Looks like someone is behind it and dont wanna pay for the buyouts.

2021-05-01 21:01

NO PLANO

2021-05-01 19:42

Good Luck boys, I admire their will, travel to another country and play CS with your own funds, without any garanties is a hard fucking task.

What country? They are playing NA from home

2021-05-01 19:43

They were in Brazil and traveled to Mexico to play NA qualifiers from there since they couldn’t go to US due to Covid restrictions

I'm not sure but I think they are in Mexico right now

They’re not their own funds lmao

2021-05-01 20:06

How do you know

mobile.twitter.com/Rafinhafps/status/138..

2021-05-01 20:52

Independent projects, what a joke...they will compete only in SA...they don t have money to hold a bootcamp in EU, to compete

In fact I would say kng and HEN1 have plenty of money, don’t know if they’re willing to put all of their funds on this project tho

Envy will announce them after cs_summit and they're in Mexico to play

2021-05-01 19:50

they have an outside investor

aahahahahaha what did I expect tbh

omg another disband brazil soon

ahahah trlly expected.. just a dumb org would boy thode guys that the best thing they did( thats what their fans say) was winning Nuke against Astralis... tier 2/3 team...

Flair doesn’t check out

Dust G2 and several maps with tight results or in overtime.

2021-05-02 06:31

ez4o plano

They have 6 players and only 5 can participate in RMR. Who isnt gonna play?

1 is coach lmao

Trk is out of RMR

2021-05-01 19:47

why?

2021-05-01 21:39

They weren't expecting volvo to free vsm. Now trk is left over. Hope he joins a decent team soon.

AHAHAHAHAHAH NO PLANO

Overrated, High salaries and Horrible result in the past as a team.. yeah nobody wanna sign that shit LMAO

"Horrible result in the past as a team" ?? hltv.org/matches/2345567/og-vs-mibr-flas.. hltv.org/matches/2345389/faze-vs-mibr-bl.. hltv.org/matches/2345572/mad-lions-vs-mi.. hltv.org/matches/2345304/forze-vs-mibr-f.. They came with a brand new core and right away beat pretty decent teams, I wonder what terrible results are those

2021-05-01 19:51

Still horrible result for a high salaries team... So tell me why MIBR drop these overrated bots??.... Because MIBR expected them to be a title contender team based on their high salaries yet they didnt even reach grandfinal in flashpoint LMAO

That was with retired fer taco and fallen lool now its kng trk with top16 hltv awper hen1-, lucas1 and vSm the br prodigy and leo_drk entry monster

2021-05-02 01:37

Mibr management have an long history of doing questionable decisions... You think new mibr is better than o plano?they can barely stay in top30 and are getting stomped by almost anyone in europe,they signed an much worse team without their best player paying high salaries again

2021-05-02 14:56

So playing as a mix basically?

they dont play , people complain they play without an org , people still complain they most probably have an org tied at their back but dont wanna reveal it now or the things arent in place yet. I doubt all of them would be able to afford to play in NA themselves.

2021-05-01 20:25

hen1 left furia for this kkkkkkkk

GL to what could be the best BR team!

It's happening. We gonna dominate the world now.

You guys saying lot of BS all over, and forget that ASTRALIS also started as a Independent Team formed by the former SoloMID players... Wait and lets see, that can work or not, but is not up to you LOW IQ HLTV user to decide if it will work or not, lot of biased kids here also... Lot of hate... Gosh...

2021-05-01 19:52

Astralis was an established core for many years before that 0 plan gang was a mess of players thrown together by MIBR to play events they had obligations to play

2021-05-01 21:45

kng hen1 and lucas1 core finished major finals

Yes, 4 years ago and with the easier playoff run before splitting up for 2/3 years Astralis core have been together since like 2013 or something People really need to temper their expectations for a team that a) started falling off a little already after their first event, b) hasn't played for near half a year and c) moved one of their better players to reserve just so hen1 and lucas1 can play together

2021-05-02 02:32

I mean, ww cant say anything yet, we need to see how they will do in this camp, fi they manage to wualify for the main event, it will be a nice start

2021-05-02 07:17

2021-05-02 02:09

6 v 5 easy

I hope they realize early that keeping Lucas1 as 6th man is a wasted of talent for the rest of the squad.

Promissing

best of luck to them, hope it works out for them!

2021-05-01 20:04

Wealth, fame, power, o Plano, the best squad ever, attained everything this world has to offer.

Embarassing stuff but gl

Why many brazillian not supporting Furia like MIBR (even the 2nd and 3rd new one), Furia players seems pretty professional and nice, but Gaules streams doesnt had the same viewership as MIBR/Liquid when Furia play?

Mibr got the heritage of SK and Luminosity, much more sucessful team, so they got more fans. And MIBR as a name has it's legacy on 1.6. So the fanbase is much larger because of that.

2021-05-01 20:12

Because the angry fans themselves are fighting and thinking that the fury is greater than the mibr. I liked the rage myself, but after a few fights I didn't like it myself.

2021-05-01 20:15

because furia is kinda boring ngl

2021-05-01 20:35

Cause Fer was jealous of their success and start trashing on them everyday on stream. And when he got fired of mibr, he tried to get signed by furia but they didn't wanted him.

2021-05-01 21:16

2021-05-01 23:31

Wtf expected but funny

2021-05-02 03:02

+1 Brazilian is sooo stupid... instead of supporting new rising talented team like furia, they hate furia because their washed up legend fer and fallen had a beef with furia players

2021-05-02 04:48

i do support them, wtf.

2021-05-02 14:25

actually the first thing that happened was in a mibr x furia match ( with the fallen fer roster ) and there was a technical problem and furia didnt want to restart the round because their coach ( guerri ) told them to do so, because that was the rules of the tournament.. the round was later restarted and everything went normal but fer trashtalked on twitter and on twitch and a bunch of fer fanboys started raging at furia which led to all this beef... sorry for my bad english im drunk as fuck rn

2021-05-02 18:30

2021-05-01 20:17

Furia probably cry for HEN1 right now

2021-05-01 20:20

uhhh, no, they helped hen1 to leave

2021-05-02 03:23

Just sayin they probably regret it cuz junior aint doing shit

2021-05-02 09:22

he starting to play well, and it was hen1 choice to leave, they just helped, and FURIA is feeling better than when hen1 was, so the problem is not in junior

2021-05-02 11:56

Good lucky guys, great times are coming! My bud is cold already!

Does anybody know who will be the inactive player on which maps?

i hope its Lucas , on every map He just bad.

2021-05-01 20:26

Just found out that it'll be trk Personally, I don't understand the decision. Its obvious that Lucas will play since Hen1 only left Furia to play with him and I don't think that leo is on trk's level

2021-05-01 20:27

wait what , how did you find that out ? thats just plain bad decision , TRK is too good to be stuck as 6th in this squad.

twitlonger.com/show/n_1srm7et Yeah, I agree with ya. But I still hope that they'll perform great

2021-05-01 20:30

Pain Thats unfair to the Brazillian Coldzera. We will see how it works out.

2021-05-01 20:32

truu

trk in my mind after vSm is strongest rifler in that team,he is atleast 2x stronger than lucas and leo drunk man

2021-05-02 02:35

That is very true. TRK is their main firepower after VSM. Leo is gonna be dead 5 out of 10 rounds everytime during the start because he is an entry. They need another strong rifle.

2021-05-02 02:49

i am not sure if hen1 would play if they kick lucas i think that hen1 is really good but lucas will cripple this team if he continues playing and trk is sitting down

yea that his gonna be the state of the team if they continue on like this

2021-05-02 15:20

so, they have 2 reasons, 1, hen1 want to play with his brother and 2, of this team he is the only one who does his positions and roles, who has been trained for the last 5 months, so leaving him on the bench would be the plan having to make drastic changes in training and positions with even less time

2021-05-02 03:25

hmm , i see the logic you are trying to carry out and it makes sense yes. I just wish that Hen1 doesnt hold this team hostage over his brother and stops them from unleashing their main potential because they do decide to bench Lucas at the end.

2021-05-02 15:37

good luck

VSM still not free even tho unbanned lol

Exciting news! Anticipation as to how they would turn up after 5 months of inactivityy.

O Plano? More like OMEGALUL PLANO

No org wants invest in this game after c9 FAIL lmao

after C9's failure it'll be very tough for newcomers to invest in csgo, it was literally their best option to go independent

Imagine leaves TRK on the bench instead Bot1 sad for trk

3 win's and counting... let's make history ma friends

2021-05-02 00:06

For those who want to know how they did today, they won 4 bo1 matches on cs_summit 8 open qualifiers (1 forfeit, 3 16-2 wins) against amateur competition of course They’re assigned to play quarter-finals tomorrow (BO3). If they won, probably they’ll meet Triumph on the semi-finals. That would be their first pro-level opponent I guess. Here’s the Bracket: play.esea.net/index.php?s=events&d=brack.. Grand final are not being played.

2021-05-02 00:20

So if they win against Triumph, they qualify for the Summit?

2021-05-02 02:50

No, they would classify for the Closed Qualifier. Teams already confirmed are: Extra Salt, paiN, GODSENT and BNB The Closed will be played with 8 teams, 4 invitees and 4 from the Open Qualifiers (2 will be known tomorrow, and 2 are gonna be known next week, when Open Qualifiers 2 happen. So if they lose they’ll get another shot, just like IMPERIAL) 4 teams of the closed advance to the main Event

trk > lucas1

2021-05-02 01:25

hen1 will not let they bench his brother after leaving Furia just to play with him.

easily top 15 team

2021-05-02 01:39

trk > leo_drk.

2021-05-02 01:52

2021-05-02 01:58

gotta be mad to choose lucas instead of trk but i believe that it's a condition brought by henrique otherwise he wouldn't even have left furia

2021-05-02 05:42

Because ... they are all Brazilians.. and they are on a tropical country? although mangos came from India.. yeah actually good question

2021-05-02 05:46

Jajajajjajaajaajja

2021-05-02 07:48

this has the potential to be the best brazilian team but unless they do anything don't expectmuch

2021-05-02 07:19

so philosophical wow.

2021-05-02 07:56

hello old comrad

2021-05-02 15:48

so much build up with weekly HLTV updates. i'm awaiting that 3 month disband

2021-05-02 07:57

I'm very interested in how this team will perform but tbh I'm not expecting much.

2021-05-02 09:44

vsm and leo are the only 2 good players, the rest is washed up so this cant be a tier2 team anyways.

2021-05-02 12:05

Wealth, fame, power. One roster will acquire all these wordly things: O Plano, the legendary roster.

2021-05-02 14:49

Well, heaving 2 AWPers didn't really work out for much teams, so it might be the problem for them, but who knows, GL O PLANO.

2021-05-02 15:12

Should just go lulerant more possible to have make major

How come everyone mistake that 0 for an O?

2021-05-02 15:32

É O PLANO PORRAAAAAAAAAA

2021-05-02 16:59

tier 4 lmao

2021-05-02 18:43

These guys screwed themselves with MIBR, no one is going to touch them unless they put up some really impressive results (which won't happen, they aren't even top2 in Brazil.)

2021-05-02 19:20

all of NA nowadays isnt even tier 2 EU lvl, they are mid range there

2021-05-02 22:27

Immortals please sign this team

2021-05-03 06:34

Did you say.... The plan?

2021-05-03 12:32

I know this is all down the bottom, but I hope they just keep this graffiti-esque logo. Not a slick corporate logo designed by some design intern, but something loose and gritty.
