Tarik Officially Leaves Cloud9 to Join MIBR CS:GO Team

Today, Immortals owned Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) team Made in Brazil (MIBR) announced that it had made a major roster change that has seen tarik leave his previous home of Cloud9 to join the MIBR CS:GO team. 

Tarik will be replacing Ricardo "Boltz" Prass on the active roster and will be the second North American and cloud9 player to join the ranks of MIBR. Current MIBR player Jacky "Stewie2k" Yip was a teammte of tarik when the two players helped Cloud9 capture the ELEAGUE Boston Major and had joined the former SK gaming roster before it had transitioned to the brand under Immortals.

The move between Cloud9 and MIBR regarding tarik had been previously reported on, as a report by DBLTAP pointed to sources close to the Immortals owned brand stating that the team was unsatisfied with its performance at ESL One Cologne 2018 and were in talks with Cloud9 to acquire tarik and replace Boltz in the lineup. 

Fans will get their first chance to see the team's newest player playing for their team at the ELEAGUE CS:GO Premiere in Atlanta, Georgia beginning on July 21st. Tarik will be looking to help his new team get off to a strong start at the $1,000,000 tournament in MIBR's opening round match against Team Liquid. 

With two defending CS:GO Major champions and the historic and talented trio of Gabriel "Fallen" Toledo, Fernando "fer" Alvarenga, Marcelo "coldzera" David, MIBR will be motivated to show that their newly formed roster has the ability to compete with some of the very best teams in the world of professional CS:GO.

Cloud9 will also be looking to regain their championship form, as the departure of Stewie2k and tarik has looked to come from the team's lack of success following their victory at the ELEAGUE Major Boston.
