MIBR reportedly set to sign tomaszin from BESTIA
MIBR are reportedly moving to sign Tomas “tomaszin” Corna from BESTIA, with the Argentine rifler expected to replace Breno “brnz4n” Poletto in the Brazilian organization’s starting CS2 lineup.
Dust2 Brasil first reported on August 22 that MIBR had advanced negotiations for the 22-year-old. HLTV subsequently reported the expected move, but neither MIBR nor BESTIA has officially announced the transfer at the time of publication.
The potential signing would take tomaszin away from BESTIA after more than three years with the Argentine organization and continue MIBR’s restructuring for the second half of 2026.

MIBR reportedly move for tomaszin
According to Dust2 Brasil, MIBR are close to completing the signing of tomaszin, with the BESTIA player expected to take brnz4n’s position in the starting five. The Brazilian organization declined to comment when contacted by the outlet, while Dust2 Brasil said it had also approached BESTIA for comment.
HLTV later reported the prospective transfer and likewise identified brnz4n as the player expected to make way. If completed, the change would end brnz4n’s approximately four-year spell with MIBR.
The move remains a reported transfer rather than an official roster announcement. No transfer fee, contract length, debut date, or other contractual terms have been disclosed.
It would also represent MIBR’s second lineup change of the mid-season period. Lucas “nqz” Soares joined the team in June after Klimentii “kl1m” Krivosheev departed the lineup.
Expected MIBR roster with tomaszin
Should the reported move be finalized, MIBR’s lineup is expected to be:
| Player | Nationality | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Felipe “insani” Yuji | Brazil | Starter |
| Carlos “venomzera” Eduardo | Brazil | Starter |
| Linus “LNZ” Holtäng | Sweden | Starter |
| Lucas “nqz” Soares | Brazil | Starter |
| Tomas “tomaszin” Corna | Argentina | Reported incoming |
| Nestor “LETN1” Tanić | Serbia | Coach |
| Breno “brnz4n” Poletto | Brazil | Expected to move out of starting lineup |
The composition above is not yet an officially confirmed MIBR roster and reflects the lineup reported by Dust2 Brasil and HLTV.
Why MIBR targeting tomaszin matters
The move would connect two teams that have repeatedly crossed paths in the South American CS2 circuit.
Most notably, MIBR and BESTIA met in the final of the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 South America Closed Qualifier earlier in August. MIBR defeated BESTIA 2-0, winning Cache 13-9 and Inferno 13-8 to secure the qualifier's only place at the main event.
Less than three weeks later, MIBR are reportedly attempting to take one of the core players from the team they defeated for that qualification spot.
For MIBR, the move could also represent an attempt to increase the lineup's individual output.
HLTV lists tomaszin at a 1.13 Rating 3.0 across 52 maps over the past three months, compared with brnz4n's 0.89 across 40 maps over the same period. Those figures should not be treated as a direct role-for-role projection, but they provide useful context for the reported change.
Recent three-month snapshot
| Player | Team | Maps | Rating 3.0 | KPR | DPR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| tomaszin | BESTIA | 52 | 1.13 | 0.74 | 0.69 |
| brnz4n | MIBR | 40 | 0.89 | 0.57 | 0.69 |

These numbers do not establish how tomaszin would perform inside MIBR's system, particularly if his positions or responsibilities change.
tomaszin's BESTIA background
tomaszin has represented BESTIA since May 2023, making him one of the longest-serving pieces of the Argentine organization's recent Counter-Strike project.
Dust2 Brasil credits him with being part of 11 tournament-winning BESTIA campaigns, including LAN victories at DraculaN Season 4 and Argentina Game Show Cup. He was also part of BESTIA's push toward international competition, including the organization's qualification campaign connected to the 2025 Austin Major.
His results with BESTIA have continued into 2026. The team finished runner-up in the Thunderpick World Championship 2026 South American Series #2 in July and reached the semi-finals of BetBoom Storm Season 4 in August.
That history makes the reported MIBR move more significant than a simple short-term replacement: BESTIA would be losing a player who has been part of its core for more than three years.
The Legacy connection
MIBR are not the first Brazilian organization to pursue tomaszin during the 2026 mid-season period.
Legacy explored signing the Argentine after initially pursuing MIBR star insani. According to Dust2 Brasil, negotiations for tomaszin remained active at one stage despite BESTIA's resistance to a deal. Legacy ultimately reinstated Vinicius “n1ssim” Pereira into its starting roster instead.
That produces an unusual transfer-market connection.
Legacy explored insani, then tomaszin. Neither move materialized. Now tomaszin is reportedly set to join insani at MIBR instead.
It also underlines tomaszin's position in the South American market: multiple notable organizations have considered the Argentine during the same roster window.
Transfer timeline
| Date | Development |
|---|---|
| May 2023 | tomaszin joins BESTIA |
| June 2026 | Legacy pursue tomaszin during their roster search |
| June 2026 | MIBR add nqz in another lineup change |
| July 2026 | n1ssim returns to Legacy, ending the immediate need for a replacement |
| August 3, 2026 | MIBR beat BESTIA 2-0 in the StarSeries Fall SA qualifier final |
| August 2026 | BESTIA move nacho to the bench |

Impact analysis
MIBR
The clearest immediate consequence would be another alteration to a lineup already changed during the summer.
Adding tomaszin would give MIBR another player with extensive experience against the leading South American opposition and several years of continuity inside BESTIA.
His recent individual numbers are also stronger than those posted by the player he is reportedly replacing. However, translating that production between teams is not automatic. MIBR would need to determine how tomaszin's positions fit alongside insani, venomzera, LNZ and nqz.
Until the team plays with the new lineup — or provides details about its role distribution — any specific tactical changes remain speculative.
BESTIA
The consequences could be more disruptive for BESTIA.
tomaszin has been with the organization since 2023, so replacing him would mean removing another established component from a roster already undergoing changes.
BESTIA appointed Gustavo “tge” Motta as head coach in July, moved Ignacio “nacho” Rodriguez to the bench in August and parted ways with assistant coach Julián “Zote” Acosta. Dust2 Brasil additionally reported that former MIBR player André “drop” Abreu is a primary target to replace nacho.
If both moves happen, BESTIA could therefore be integrating multiple pieces rather than making a single isolated substitution.
Tournament impact
The timing is notable because MIBR recently qualified for StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026.
The Brazilian team defeated BESTIA in the South American closed qualifier to claim the region's only place at the main tournament, which is scheduled for September 17-20 in Europe.
Whether tomaszin will be registered for that event has not been confirmed.
His potential debut and tournament eligibility should therefore remain TBD until MIBR or the tournament organizer provides confirmation.
VRS impact
TBD.
No current Valve Regional Standings calculation directly attributable to the reported transfer has been provided by the sources used for this article.
Roster changes can affect ranking eligibility and retained results depending on Valve's applicable roster and ranking rules, but assigning a specific points gain, loss or ranking position before the move is completed would be speculative.
This section should be updated after an official roster announcement and the relevant VRS update.
What changes now?
Nothing is official yet.
Until MIBR and/or BESTIA announce the transaction, tomaszin should still be described as a BESTIA player who is reportedly expected to join MIBR.
If the transfer is completed, the immediate expected changes are:
-
tomaszin enters MIBR's starting five.
-
brnz4n leaves the active starting lineup.
-
MIBR integrate a second new starter following nqz's June arrival.
-
BESTIA begin the process of replacing a player who has represented the organization since 2023.
-
MIBR's role and position distribution may need adjustment, although the exact changes are currently unknown.
What to watch next
The first major checkpoint is an official announcement from MIBR, BESTIA or both organizations.
Contract details will also be worth monitoring because neither the reported transfer fee nor the length of tomaszin's potential MIBR contract has been disclosed.
Beyond confirmation itself, attention will turn to brnz4n's status, BESTIA's replacement plan and tomaszin's first tournament with MIBR.
MIBR's StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 participation is particularly relevant. The event is scheduled for September 17-20 after MIBR earned the South American qualification spot by defeating BESTIA.
There is another significant unresolved question around MIBR's longer-term lineup. HLTV reported that insani's current contract is approaching its end later in 2026 and that the Brazilian star is considering his future after receiving an offer from MIBR.
That means the reported tomaszin signing may not necessarily be the final roster storyline surrounding MIBR this season.
