Among the qualifiers, MIBR stands out as the only Brazilian team to secure a slot in Champions 2025. Their path to Paris was a bit of a rollercoaster. MIBR locked in their spot thanks to a mix of other teams’ results. They did not have to depend solely on their own performance metrics in the final stages. This makes their journey to the big stage even more interesting for fans.
