A remarkable journey for esports team MIBR in the VALORANT Champions 2025 global tournament concluded this Monday, September 29. They officially exited the competition after a tough 2-1 loss to DRX. The squad fought hard through every map. Ultimately, MIBR couldn’t overcome the Pacific region’s top seed.
This crucial match was a second-round showdown in the lower bracket. MIBR, representing Brazil, started strong. They confidently chose the Sunset map and won it with a score of 13-10. However, DRX quickly regrouped. On Ascent, the second map, the game became incredibly tight. It even stretched into overtime. DRX ultimately secured the win, tying the series at 1-1.
The final map was Bind, where the championship dream rested. DRX showed great composure, calmly adjusting their play. They clinched Bind with a 13-10 score. This victory eliminated MIBR from the tournament. Despite the loss, MIBR finished their first VALORANT world championship in a respectable 5th or 6th place. It marked a significant debut for the organization on the global stage.
MIBR later shared their feelings on social media. They posted, “Unfortunately, it didn’t work out.” The team added, “Our run in #VALORANTChampions ends here.” They mentioned entering the event “underestimated.” MIBR had qualified based on points. They felt they “brought back the sparkle” to Brazilian VALORANT fans. The team reflected on “a year of ups and downs.” This included strong third-place finishes at the KICKOFF event and in the Split.
Infelizmente, não deu. Nossa run no #VALORANTChampions termina aqui. 🥺
Chegamos desacreditados, classificados por pontos, e conseguimos trazer de volta o brilho nos olhos do torcedor brasileiro de VALORANT. Foi um ano de altos e baixos, ficamos em 3° lugar no KICKOFF e no Split… pic.twitter.com/eamd9wXUKV
