MIBR beat Alliance to win MEO XL Cup LAN

1-10-2023 23:01

The Swedish side took second place in their first outing since signing with Alliance.

insani ended the four-team event with a 1.48 rating

MIBR have won their first LAN tournament since 2018 at the MEO XL Cup, a small four-team LAN in Portugal. The Brazilian side won over FTW and Alliance to secure the title in a confidence-boosting showing after a 17-20th placed finish at ESL Pro League.

Felipe "⁠insani⁠" Yuji starred with a 1.48 rating and 106 ADR over six maps as MIBR converted their world ranking advantage into a tournament victory in convincing fashion.

Alliance signs Counter-Strike team

It was Alliance's first LAN tournament in Counter-Strike after the organization signed 416Olsk ahead of the transition to CS2. The team has had notable success in other games, winning The International in Dota 2, and is now committing to support Swedish esports.

Alliance opened their tally with a 2-0 win over #33-ranked ALTERNATE aTTaX and challenged MIBR on Anubis and Mirage in the final, but ultimately fell short over the full best-of-five.

The Swedes will also compete at BLAST's Fall Showdown against ENCE after Victory Zigzag were disqualified, in an even sterner test for Simon "⁠twist⁠" Eliasson and company.

Still more impressive than Vitality's Paris Major run imo.

2023-10-02 05:25

sureee

2023-10-02 12:11

They managed to beat both Mouz and Monte last month though, imo insani is a very good t2 player, specially aim wise.

2023-10-02 22:11

they did that cause nobody knew how they play since they had new team

MIBR beats #71 team in the world at an invite only LAN to win 5k Congrats

2023-10-02 00:13

Well, today nor Vitality nor NAVI lifted a trophy of any kind, while MOUZ and MIBR did. Sometimes, the minor one is better than nothing. :P

navi won 90k (even though they only beat far worse teams but whatever) vitality won 35k

So what? We talking about trophies here. Money they already have. They got a salary and a decent investor behind them.

2023-10-02 10:57

By 'trophies' you mean prestige. There is no prestige from this event.

2023-10-02 11:08

What do you mean? For me, their branding choices were very decent, at least better than EPL's. Having such trophy on my stand would make me happier than having an EPL trophy, to be honest. Also, that Alliance team fought and eliminated MOUZ from Blast Premier Fall Showdown a couple days ago, so... They strong, too. :P MEO XL Cup (MEO + XL + Cup = Perfect combination, suggests a childish cute that is of great inspiration, at least for me.). ESL Pro League (ESL + Pro + League = Its great, but suggest a serious professionalism, not very inspiring considering actual events's landscape.). hltv.org/events/7373/pelaajat-nordic-mas..
