It was recently reported that Brazilian player Rafael «exit» Lacerda, who previously played for the Sharks, is set to move to MIBR. Both parties have already agreed on the terms of the transfer and the deal should be finalized soon. For now, it remains unknown who exactly will be replaced by exit in the current MIBR lineup. Daniel «danoco» Morgado looks the most likely candidate to be sent to the reserves, as his recent performances for the team have not been too impressive. However, the twenty-five-year-old is likely to remain on the roster as MIBR management has not ruled out considering a six-man roster like many other top teams.
This will be the first roster change since MIBR signed a new roster in mid-January. It then included four players from BOOM, who had successfully competed in South American tournaments in 2020, and Daniel «danoco» Morgado. However, in Europe, MIBR's results were very average: the team won only seven out of twenty official matches and failed to advance from the group stage of the ESL Pro League, losing to Gambit, FURIA and Natus Vincere.
Rafael Lacerda has been playing for Sharks since mid-2017. He has participated in international LAN tournaments several times, and his highest achievement for his team was 22nd place in the world rankings in January 2019. The first match in which exit will appear in the MIBR lineup could take place as early as mid-April, as part of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown.
