MIBR Sign kl1m from G2 Academy on Loan: A Strategic AWPer Boost

Brazilian esports organization MIBR has confirmed the addition of Klimentii “kl1m” Krivosheev on loan from G2 Academy, moving toward an international lineup—a trend also executed by fellow Brazilian team FURIA. The swap follows MIBR’s fall out of the top 20 rankings and is seen as a direct response to underperformance in their AWP role. 

Details of the Transfer

• kl1m replaces Rafael “saffee” Costa, whose performance has lagged this season. MIBR’s move reflects a broader shift toward younger, internationally-scoped rosters. 

• At just 19 years old, kl1m boasts promising stats: a 1.21 rating in 2025 for G2 Ares, and standout performances—including a 1.32 rating at Exort Series 11 and 1.37 during the United21 League Season 35. However, he has limited experience, having played only four maps against top-50 opponents.

The Broader Context

• MIBR now follow FURIA’s blueprint—having earlier signed Danil “molodoy” Golubenko, another Russian AWPer, to similar effect. That move showed both teams’ preference for emerging talent that can inject aggression and precision.

• On MIBR’s official roster, the core lineup now features exit, brnz4n, insani, nicks, and coach jnt, with saffee now benched. The team sits around 25th–28th in the global rankings. (Roster overview from HLTV).

Strategic Implications

• This is MIBR’s second mid-summer roster tweak following their benching of saffee, emphasizing urgent AWP upgrades and competitive resurgence. With kl1m’s loan, MIBR signal intent to reclaim relevancy among top-tier teams.

• G2 Academy’s readiness to loan out talent suggests a robust development pipeline—kl1m’s strong ratings indicate they have pros ready for promotion or impactful loans.
