Report: Tarik of Cloud9 in Talks to Possibly Join MIBR CS:GO Team

According to a report from DBLTAP by Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) insider Dekay, Cloud9 player Tarik is currently in talks with North American esports organization Immortals to possibly become a member of its recently formed Made in Brazil (MIBR) CS:GO team. 

The MIBR team was revived by Immortals last month and began its resurgence in the world of professional CS:GO by signing the former roster of SK Gaming that consisted of Gabriel "Fallen" Toledo, Fernando "fer" Alvarenga, Marcelo "coldzera" David, Ricardo "boltz" Prass and Jacky "Stewie2K" Yip. 

However, according to Dekay's report, sources have stated that the MIBR CS:GO team is currently in "disarray" due to its surprising elimination this past weekend at ESL One Cologne 2018 at the hands of BIG who made an remarkable run to the grand finals of the prestigious event. 

Now less than two weeks removed from announcing the MIBR roster, Immortals are now reportedly looking to acquire the talents of Cloud9 player Tarik in order to replace Boltz. 

If the reported move does come to fruition, Tarik would be joining his former Cloud9 teammate and fellow ELEAGUE Boston Major champion in Stewie2K and would become the second American player on the otherwise Brazilian roster. 

With tensions between the former SK Gaming roster and the organization reaching a boiling point at the end of the two parties' relationship, the community believed that the change of scenery to representing the famous MIBR brand under the Immortals organization would see the talented roster return to its championship form immediately.

Unfortunately, the team finished in 7th-8th place at its first event competing under the MIBR name and now look to be considering a major roster change already to improve its fortunes. 

With Tarik being a former teammate of Stewie2k, one of the current reigning major champions and a talented player in his own right, the Cloud9 player looks to be a potential perfect fit for the MIBR CS:GO team going forward if anything substantial results from the reported talks between Tarik and Immortals.
