MIBR is in active talks with Fluxo to acquire Brazilian riffler Lucas “Lucaozy” Neves, reports Dust2.br. There is significant interest in this potential move, as Lucaozy is considered one of the most promising players in the region. If the deal goes through, MIBR could significantly strengthen its roster ahead of important tournaments later in the year.
Context and backstory
The talks between MIBR and Fluxo come amid the expiration of 22-year-old riffler Lucaozy's contract, which ends in December. Fluxo could receive compensation for the player before his contract expires if MIBR manages to strike a deal. It is important to note that this is not the first time MIBR has been interested in Lucaozy: the organization already offered $280,000 for the player in May 2023, but at that time Lucaozy opted to stay with Fluxo.
Details of the deal and significance for MIBR
MIBR is looking to acquire Lucaozy before the start of the Perfect World Shanghai Major Americas RMR. The deadline to register lineups for the event is September 8, but teams have until September 22 to make changes. Fluxo, who failed to qualify for the Americas RMR, suffered defeats to KRÜ and RED Canids, opening up the possibility of Lucaozy moving to another team.
The addition of Lucaozy to the MIBR roster could be a key factor in their successful campaign at RMR. The team is currently competing in ESL Pro League Season 20, where they have already started off with a win over 9z.

Final Thoughts
Lucaozy potentially joining MIBR could drastically change the balance of power in the region. With MIBR already aiming for success in the upcoming tournaments, a new player in the lineup could be the link that leads the team to long-awaited victories on the international stage.
