Former SK Gaming Roster Announced as New Made in Brazil (MiBR) CS:GO Team

Today, during the official reveal stream of the new Made in Brazil (MiBR) Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team, it was announced that the former SK Gaming roster of Gabriel "Fallen" Toledo, Fernando "fer" Alvarenga, Marcelo "coldzera" David, Ricardo "boltz" Prass and Jacky "Stewie2K" Yip will now be playing under the MiBR brand for the future of their professional CS:GO careers. 

The official reveal did not come as much of a surprise to the CS:GO community, as the move of the former SK Gaming CS:GO roster to the MiBR brand has been reported on numerous times and a leaked photo of the former SK Gaming CS:GO team wearing the official MiBR jerseys surfaced online.

This will be the first time that the popular Brazilian esports brand of MiBR has been represented in the professional CS:GO scene since 2012. Six years later, the North American esports organization of Immortals made the decision of reviving the storied Brazilian CS:GO organization with the acquisition of the former SK Gaming roster that has been one of the most dominant teams in the professional scene of Valve's first person shooter. 

This is not the first major move that Immortals have made in the Brazilian esports scene, as the organization formerly fielded a Brazilian CS:GO team under the Immortals name, while also recently signing an all Brazilian Rainbow Six: Siege professional team in their mission to become a major player in promoting and supporting the esports scene of Brazil.

The new team will be partaking in two showmatches today against former members of the MiBR organization from the brand's first run from 2003 to 2012 and a team of five players that were selected through an online qualifier. This will be the first time that fans will be able to see the former SK Gaming CS:GO roster officially play under the MiBR name that they will be representing the Brazilian esports scene in the future.
