According to a report from Dekay and confirmed via sources at Upcomer, Brazilian star Vito “kNgV-” Giuseppe will replace Marcelo “coldzera” David in the Made in Brazil (MIBR) starting lineup if there are no visa issues. The move is set to occur after the StarLadder Major 2019 during the traditional post-Major shuffle.





Upcomer can confirm that kNgV- recently had a visa interview last week to ensure that he can stay in the United States. If he passes, MIBR will officially sign the player unless complications occur.





kNgV- currently plays for INTZ, which recently finished third in the Americas Minor. Therefore, the team has been placed into the Minor Play-in tournament for another chance to qualify for the StarLadder Major. This is a four team tournament that will provide three teams with a spot at the StarLadder Major Main qualifier. Currently, INTZ joins North in the tournament.





kNgV- has a turbulent history with regard to previous comments. Nonetheless, he is an incredible talent, who has shown that he can be one of the best players in the world if he has a great team around him. Famously, he played a pivotal role in the Immortals lineup that finished second at the PGL Major 2017.

He will be replacing coldzera on the starting lineup. On July 12, coldzera was officially benched by the organization. This was due to a previous request by the Brazilian after he expressed his desire for a new challenge. His temporary replacement has been coach Wilton “zews” Prado, who has played for the organization at two events; BLAST Pro Series Los Angeles and IEM Chicago.





Moreover, zews will play for MIBR at the StarLadder Major 2019.





MIBR is expected to be the following roster post-Major:





Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo

Fernando “fer” Alvarenga

Epitacio “TACO” de Melo

Vito “kNgV-” Guiseppe

Lucas “LUCAS1” Teles (loan)
