MIBR officially benched rifler nicks and signed former PARIVISION In-Game Leader Qikert on-loan..

Brazilian Counter Strike 2 club MIBR announced on Tuesday via its official X (Twitter) account that it has benched rifler nicks from its roster and signed former PARIVISION In-Game Leader Qikert on-loan.

According to MIBR's official statement, Qikert will play for the team on-loan until the end of the year.

This decision will take effect after the upcoming ESL Challenger League Season 50 South America Cup 2.

This decision also marks the temporary end of nicks' two-month stint with MIBR.

The player joined MIBR in June, replacing Lucaozy, who has since moved to Fluxo.

However, nicks struggled to adapt to the MIBR team and struggled to perform, leading to his relegation to the bench after just one month.

With this transfer, Qikert becomes the second CIS player to join MIBR, following kl1m.

About Qikert

The 26-year-old Qikert, was born on January 1, 1999 in Kazakhstan, primarily plays as a AWP-er, but can also play as a In-Game Leader.

Qikert has been a professional Counter Strike 2 (CS2) esports player since 2015. 

In his early years, he played for AVANGAR, virtus.pro (VP), Outsiders, and on-loan for Into The Breach (ITB). He won the DreamHack Rio Major, Flashpoint Season 2, and the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Rio Major with the team.

In January 2024, Qikert joined PARIVISION.

Initially, for much of the year, the team was eliminated early in online tournaments and qualifiers. Even after removing Jerry and bringing in Alpha, PARIVISION's performance remained stagnant. Their only bright spot was advancing to the Perfect World Shanghai Major European RMR, where they ultimately finished last and were eliminated.

In January of this year, PARIVISION brought in Jame and benched ArtFr0st, reuniting him with Qikert.

During his six-month tenure with PARIVISION, Qikert achieved a runner-up finish in the CCT Season 3 European Series 1, but was benched in July due to his inconsistent performances.
