MIBR Becomes First Team to Lose 16-0 in CS:GO Major History

Saturday, September 15th saw another day of action packed Counter-Strike: Global Offensive action take place at the FACEIT London CS:GO Major. However, one of the biggest story lines to come out of the CS:GO action for the FACEIT London Major on Saturady was a historic victory by Astralis as they handed Made in Brazil (MIBR) a crushing and historic defeat. 

During the final match of the day for the FACEIT London CS:GO Major, MIBR was handed a swift 16-0 defeat at the hands of Astralis on Dust 2. Having no luck gaining any success on either the Terrorist or Counter-Terrorist sides, MIBR had no answer for Astralis on Dust 2. With MIBR having some of the best players to ever grace the professional CS:GO scene, many were surprised to see that they were on the losing end of the very first 16-0 victory in CS:GO Major history.

Nicolai "device" Reedtz (24 kills, 9 deaths and 125.7 average damage per round) and Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander (19 kills, 4 deaths and 116.6 average damage per round) led the way for Astralis in the team's thrashing of MIBR during the FACEIT CS:GO London Major. 

MIBR will have a chance to redeem themselves on Sunday, September 16th against Ninjas in Pyjamas. Astralis moves into third place in the current standings for the New Legends Stage of the FACEIT CS:GO London Major and qualified for the event's playoffs with the historic 16-0 victory providing them some major momentum. 

With the lion's share of the $1,000,000 prize pool up for grabs, the roster of MIBR will do its best to rebound from its disappointing loss against Astralis on Saturday and make a push to defeat Ninjas in Pyjamas and continue their chances for claiming the FACEIT London Major championship title. However, the MIBR roster will need to make some serious adjustments if they hope to avoid another outcome like the one they suffered at the hands of Astralis on Saturday.
