September 11th: SKaDinha joins MIBR as sixth player

Luiz "SKaDinha" Salgado has rejoined the MIBR roster which he previously played on for 17 months as a sixth member of the team. This comes after MIBR was hit with injuries and illnesses during Stages 1 and 2 forcing stand-ins and leading them to miss out on the Mexico Major.

SKaDinha previously played with reduct, Faallz, LuKid, and FelipoX on Team oNe with whom he won the Challenger League tournament during Season 9 and played in the Pro League with during Seasons 10 and 11.

Following a last-place finish during Season 11, SKaDinha was then replaced in the roster by Rappz as he moved onto Santos during the 2020 BR6 Season and more recently the VINCIT Gaming organization.

He now leaves this team to rejoin his old teammates on their new org of MIBR as a sixth member. This is a role desperately needed by MIBR after LuKid was unable to play for a portion of Stage 1 due to a COVID diagnosis and FelipoX missed a few games due to a shoulder injury during Stage 2.

Extra help is always good, right? Welcome to the MIBR family, @SKaDinha! Our newest sixth player in the Rainbow 6 lineup!

Near the end of August, he then joined SuperNova only to now be picked up by BD just seven days later. Bassetto will make his pro-tier debut on September 11th against MIBR as the BR6 League returns for Stage 3.

Here he helped the roster to a runners-up finish in the South American Championship followed by a first-round exit at the Elite Six Cup.

After finishing in last place during both stages of the South American Championship this year, the Chilean player of Iván "El barto" Iturra has retired from R6S.

Previously, el_barto finished the 2020 Season in joint third on LBS Esports, however, this Stage fell to become one of the lowest Rated players in the league at 0.86 on Valkyrie and Ace.

I can give gg. They were 3 years of highs and lows that came to an end, a shame to have to leave him with this bad taste in his mouth (current situation in the league) but my job is different and I cannot continue halfway through both. 3 years where I met great companions and rivals.

July 29th: AlanDerf Leaves Chivas

The Chivas player of Alan "AlanDerf" Ramírez has left the team after four months following a seventh-place finish during both Stages 1 and 2 in the Mexican Championship.

Prior to this, he played on the Atheris roster on which he finished as the runners-up during the 2019 Mexican Championship and third during the 2020 Season.

Today we stand up and with much affection, we say goodbye to @AlanDerf_ WE THANK YOU for your persistence and everything you gave by and for the team We wish you all the successes wherever you go and health above all things This will always be your home THANK YOU!

July 28th: Mav Leaves W7M Gaming, Coach Abreu to Stand-in for Copa do Brasil

After being joining W7M at the beginning of this stage, the former FaZe Clan player and Team Liquid coach Rafael "mav" Loureiro Freitas has left the team.

This comes after he had been the lowest-rated full-time player in Stage 2 of the 2021 BR6.

After having been dropped by FaZe a year ago, mav had then transitioned to a coaching role and joined Team Liquid ahead of the latter's November Regional Major victory.

Six months later, he had then been dropped by Liquid as well following an investigation from the organisation into abuse allegations.

Following this, Stage 2 saw him return to a player role with W7M Gaming, with the roster securing six points across the nine games thanks to overtime victories over Black Dragons, MIBR, and Santos. However, this was not enough to lift W7M out of last place.

During this stage, mav averaged a 0.71 rating, which was the third-lowest (behind MIBR's coach of Budega and FelipoX, who played the season with a controller) in the entire league.

I inform you here about my departure from W7M. I was looking forward to the Brazil Cup and felt that the team was improving as, despite the last few bad games, in general we were doing well in training against top4 teams, but maybe for psychological reasons this is not confirmed in the games. I apologize to the fans and my teammates who placed their trust in me and I wish everyone success, I hope they manage to get out of this situation because I know how dedicated they are to this.

July 26th: Asterix Leaves Malvinas

After coaching Malvinas Gaming to a first-place finish in Stage 2 of the South American Championship and a subsequent eighth-place finish during the Elite Six Cup, Alvaro "Asterix" Aguilar Pagliaricci has left the team.
