Brazilian esports team MIBR staged a remarkable comeback to eliminate European rival G2 Gozen from the VALORANT Game Changers Championship, delivering a pointed response to pre-match controversy.
MIBR secured a dramatic 2-1 victory in Seoul on Thursday, November 27, concluding with an overtime win on the decisive map. The crucial match unfolded amidst an earlier social media spat involving a G2 player.
A G2 competitor had posted a “dubious tweet” regarding Brazilian players on Wednesday, November 26, setting a tense stage for the clash. Following their victory, MIBR’s official social media account posted a defiant message.
