Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo's squad is out of the $50,000 tournament after just one match, having suffered a 2-1 defeat to Wisla Krakow, ranked #64. MIBR decided to take part in Nine to Five 3 after an early exit from ESL One Cologne 2020 Europe, looking to make the most out of their European bootcamp and get some official games under their belt alongside practice. The Brazilians were invited directly to the quarter-finals of the online tournament, where they were the highest-ranked team, facing off against Wisla Krakow in the opening BO3. Things looked great initially as MIBR cruised to a 13-2 lead on the CT side of the Poles' map pick, Mirage, and closed it out 16-11. Train is where things turned around, as Olek "hades" Miskiewicz and Grzegorz "jedqr" Jędras propelled their team to a 12-3 CT half and helped them steal away FalleN's staple map, 16-13. It all came down to Inferno which was a scrappy affair all the way until the second half, when Wisla Krakow won a second-round force-buy and assumed control of the game, closing it out with a 8-2 CT side for a final score of 16-9. The morale in the MIBR camp will surely not be great after today's defeat, but the Brazilians will have to clear their heads by Thursday if they want to avoid further disappointment as they are set to participate in another event, Eden Arena Malta Vibes Cup 9, before returning to North America. The $40,000 Malta Vibes Cup kicks off with a GSL group stage and MIBR are placed in group C with three CIS sides: FORZE, Gambit Youngsters, and HellRaisers - who will be the initial oponents of FalleN and co.MIBR
