Media: MIBR in advanced talks with Lucaozy
MIBR are in advanced negotiations with Fluxo to acquire Lucas " Lucaozy " Neves ahead of the final stretch of 2024, according to a report by Dust2.br. A definitive choice as to who Lucaozy would replace on MIBR has still not been made, the report added.
The 22-year-old rifler's contract is reportedly set to expire in December, with the negotiations offering Fluxo a chance to secure a transfer fee before his contract comes to an end.
MIBR , in turn, are trying to acquire Lucaozy ahead of their Perfect World Shanghai Major Americas RMR campaign. The roster registration deadline for the event is set for September 8, but teams have until September 22 to make any further changes.
Fluxo failed to reach the Americas RMR after they were upset by KRÜ in their opening match of the South America closed qualifier and later lost to RED Canids in the fourth-place decider, opening up the possibility for Lucaozy to transfer teams.
It is not the first time MIBR has shown interest in the Brazilian rifler. The organization previously lined up a $280,000 bid to buy Lucaozy from Fluxo in May 2023, but the player rejected the deal and chose to remain with his current team.
Lucaozy has averaged a 1.20 rating during his two years with Fluxo and has been far and away the team's best player, with a potential move to MIBR ahead of the RMR offering the team a substantial boon in firepower.
MIBR are currently competing at ESL Pro League Season 20, where they started their campaign with a win over 9z .
With Lucaozy , MIBR would have:
Raphael "exit" Lacerda Breno "brnz4n" Poletto Felipe "insani" Yuji Rafael "saffee" Costa André "drop" Abreu Lucas " Lucaozy " Neves
Renato "nak" Nakano (coach)
