MIBR are the second ranked team in the NA Closed Qualifier

Sources: Brazilian trio accept BLAST.tv Paris Major NA Closed Qualifier spots

The Brazilian émigrés in North America have opted against returning home.

Dust2.us has confirmed with multiple sources that the Brazilian trio of MIBR, paiN, and LOS + oNe have accepted spots to play the BLAST.tv Paris Major North America Closed Qualifier. As a result, the teams, which are ranked second, third, and seventh knock out NA teams Strife, Detonate, and timbermen, who would theoretically claim the spots if the Brazilian teams chose to play at home.

Importantly, all three Brazilian émigré teams are entitled to claim spots in North America as they spend the majority of the year based out of their respective team houses in Mexico. However, it will likely home as a hard blow to NA fans. Additionally, this move significantly helps the Brazilian scene as Corinthians, ARCTIC, and O PLANO have now received spots into their respective closed qualifier.
