MIBR have announced that they have finalised the transfer of João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos from INTZ.

The 22-year-old completes MIBR's new all-Brazilian roster, following in the footsteps of Epitacio "⁠TACO⁠" de Melo, who was recruited from Liquid before the turn of the year alongside coach Wilton "⁠zews⁠" Prado in a trade deal that saw Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip move in the opposite direction.

He will step into the shoes of Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik, whose future with the organisation is now unclear, just six months after being recruited from Cloud9.

In MIBR, felps will be reuniting with his former SK teammates, with whom he won five international titles in 2017 before making way for Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass as internal problems rocked the two-time Major champions.

MIBR will make their first offline appearance with the new roster at the IEM Katowice Major, where the team will be competing in the New Legends Stage after finishing top four at the previous Major.
