When six Brazilians walk into a bar in Norway, and it's not the beginning of a joke, there's something wrong.
Back when MIBR imploded, kNgV gathered the pieces, added HEN1 and created O PLANO, the team looked like the immediate winners of the Brazilian shuffle.
After all, kNgV and vSm had shown impressive highs during their time in MIBR and the Teles-twins, when not embroiled in non-playing drama, are good players in their own right.
They even named their team "The Plan", something we'd have expected Neymar to do if he ever built a CS:GO team.
And just like Neymar, the project fell flat without any sign of opposition.
Since the team's inception in May, they have not once been better placed on HLTV's rankings than 24, and more than 50% of the time the team existed, they've been outside of the Top 30.
When Nordavind announced they had put their entire roster, including Mertz and HS, on the transferlist, they also said they weren't 'leaving the scene'.
Just hours after that, RushBMedia reported that the Norwegian organization was in talks with O PLANO.
The move, if it comes to fruition, would change the outlook for the Brazilians, whom have yet to find any official support since the team's inception.
Should Nordavind sign the Brazilians, they would instantly get their highest position ever on the HLTV rankings at #35. And with O PLANO currently in Warsaw for a bootcamp ahead of their Autumn campaign, there's hope they might actually do something this season. Maybe.
