Can I copy your homework?

Yeah, just change it up a bit so it doesn’t look obvious.

Just days after benching saffee, MIBR took a page out of FURIA’s book, announcing that kl1m will be joining on loan from G2 Ares, the org’s academy team.

Kl-who?

Yeah, if you actually have a life and don’t spend your free time watching EU tier 3 events like United21 or the European Pro League, his name probably won’t ring a bell. But with a 1.25 rating across 37 maps for G2 Ares, kl1m is yet another CIS prodigy making waves.

TL;DR: grab your cracked CIS wonderkid before someone else does.

FURIA took a massive gamble by bringing in an unproven rookie into a roster with a big language barrier and throwing him straight into the sharks. But it paid off big time.

Now it’s MIBR’s turn to roll the dice, and we’d argue this gamble is even riskier. Don’t get us wrong, the talent is clearly there, just like with molodoy. But unlike him, kl1m lacks consistent tier 2 experience, making the leap from what he knows to what he’s about to face a huge one.

So what does this move mean for Brazil as a region?

If you’re a young BR AWPer with dreams of reaching the top, it’s hardly encouraging. Two of the country’s biggest orgs have now turned to international prospects instead of investing in local talent. Maybe that’s just the harsh reality right now, as the pipeline of promising Brazilian AWPers simply isn’t there.

We weren’t fully sold on the molodoy move either, and look how that turned out. So for now, we’ll give MIBR and kl1m the benefit of the doubt.

Who knows? Maybe he steps up, proves his potential, and G2 come back knocking down the line. After all, SunPayus seems to be making that case on his own…
