advance, eventually making a run to Masters: Madrid and winning North America another international title.
With a chance at qualifying to Masters: Shanghai through Stage 1 of the Americas League, MIBR prepared for their matches against the Alpha group teams. Unfortunately, the roster failed to win a single map out of all five of their matches, ending Stage 1 with an 0-5 record and placing last in the season.
Now out of contention for China's first international event, the organization has begun making changes, with bzkA's departure leaving Daniel "fRoD" Montaner as the only remaining coach. Rumors surrounding Bryan "pANcada" Luna and Alexandre "xand" Zizi have circulated, as the organization may be in need of new talent.
