Sheep Esports interviewed the players and coaching staff of MIBR after their victory over one of China's strongest teams, Bilibili Gaming. The Brazilian team shared how a cohesive team and an intense boot camp in Europe helped them prepare to take on the favorites.

Comments from MIBR participants

As a reminder, in the first match of Group B, MIBR faced off against BiliBili Gaming. Although the latter was considered the favorite in this match, MIBR unexpectedly defeated their opponent with a score of 2:0. After that, the Sheep Esports portal spoke with the members of the Brazilian team to get their comments on the match and the tournament as a whole.

First, the players emphasized that after unsuccessful results in Americas Stage 2, the team trained a lot, especially during the boot camp in Europe. Team captain Verno said that this period was key to the club's development.

In Europe, we were tested with different styles, and this forced us to grow quickly. At the international level, each team shows its true colors, and this is where your preparation is tested.

We maintained unity and confidence. Thanks to the boot camp and hard work, we eliminated our weaknesses and gained stability. For me, it's a dream to play at this level and prove that I am worthy of this opportunity.

Team coach Frod also said that a lot of work had been done on all the maps, because in such an important tournament as Champions 2025, it is impossible to avoid one of the maps.

It is impossible to win Champions with a permaban on one map. We worked on all the maps to be ready for any opponent.

Finally, the team's star player and renowned duelist Aspas explained why he chose the agent Waylay on the second map, which led to his ace.

After the buffs, Waylay became truly playable. Previously, the agent was too weak, but now she fits perfectly into the game. We came to Paris as prepared as possible and are grateful to the fans for their support.

MIBR's next match will be on September 18 against Fnatic, where they will fight for a spot in the playoffs. You can follow this and other matches at Valorant Champions 2025 at the link.
