Made in Brazil, commonly referred to as the abbreviated name MIBR (stylized as MiBR or mibr) is a professional esports organization with players competing in Counter-Strike 2, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege, VALORANT, and Rocket League. It was a member of the G7 Teams. MIBR was founded on March 1, 2003, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, when the Brazilian businessman Paulo Velloso decided to invest in his son's dream.

Lore & Background

In January 2018, the MIBR brand was acquired by Immortals. In June of the same year, the roster of MIBR was reformed with the core members of the Luminosity Gaming/SK Gaming roster that won the MLG Columbus Major 2016 and ESL One Cologne 2016. On August 3, 2019, the Immortals Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege lineup was transferred to the MIBR name days before the Six Major Raleigh 2019. In September 2020, CSGO coach Ricardo "dead" Sinigaglia was banned from nearly all notable tournaments following a ban by the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) for abusing a bug. Later that month, dead, Fernando "fer" Alvarenga, and Epitácio "TACO" de Melo were removed by the organization following terrible results. The same day, Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo announced his self-benching from the active MIBR lineup after stating his dissatisfaction with the organization's decision to remove fer and TACO. Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe also said he did not agree with the removal. This left only kNgV and trk remaining on the active lineup. MIBR joined the Valorant Champions Tour as a partner team in the Americas League starting in 2023. In October 2025, Spun Mídia acquired MiBR from Immortals Gaming Club to launch an esports vertical named EZOR.

In Their Own Story

The LAN hall in São Paulo was a wall of noise. Green and yellow flags hung from the ceiling, swaying in the draft from the industrial fans that kept the forty-degree room from becoming a sauna. On stage, the MIBR players sat in their matching jerseys, headsets on, eyes locked on their monitors. The opponent — a well-funded European squad — had taken the first map 13-7. The crowd had gone quiet in that particular way that means they were bracing for defeat.

Then the second map started. And something shifted. The AWP cracked like a rifle shot. A triple kill. A quad. The Portuguese commentary erupted, the flags started waving again, and the green-and-yellow wave rolled back through the hall like a tide. By the time the final round closed, the silence was gone, replaced by a roar that shook the cheap folding chairs. MIBR hadn't just won a match. They'd reminded a whole country why they'd fallen in love with this game in the first place.
