chelo is a prime candidate to replace fnx in Imperial Esports

According to the Dust2 portal, the Brazilian esports organization Imperial Esports is aiming to sign a chelo from the MIBR team. The 24-year-old Brazilian player should be a direct replacement for fnx, who is close to leaving Imperial Esports due to poor performance.

chelo has been a MIBR player for the past year and a half. During this time, the 24-year-old Brazilian esportsman helped the team win CBCS Elite League Season 1, ESEA Season 39: Advanced Division - North America and ESL Challenger League Season 40: North America, as well as get into the top three at Intel Extreme Masters XVI - Fall: South America, PGL Major Antwerp 2022: American RMR and BLAST Premier: Spring American Showdown 2022, among others.

In addition, together with the chelo team, he took part in the PGL Major Antwerp 2022, after which he became the new captain of MIBR. However, the Brazilian club will not prevent the departure of its leader if a financially acceptable offer is received. Currently, the parties have launched the negotiation process, and there is an opinion that Imperial Esports will not be easy.

In turn, fnx played for Imperial Esports for the last six months. Together with the team, the 32-year-old Brazilian managed to win the OMEN WGR European Challenge 2022, as well as get into the top three at FiReLEAGUE Latin Power Spring 2022 and PGL Major Antwerp 2022: American RMR.

Recall that four candidates were mentioned in the initial report. In addition to chelo, biguzera, Lucaozy and JOTA were named on the list of candidates to strengthen Imperial Esports.

The nearest championship for the Brazilian team is FiReLEAGUE 2022: Global Finals, which will be held in October. However, until then, Imperial Esports will certainly find something to do, and will probably try to stay in Europe before the start of the RMR cycle before the home major in Rio.

The Imperial Esports CS:GO roster currently looks like this:

• FalleN
• fer
• fnx
• boltz
• VINI
• peacemaker (coach)
