MIBR’s performance manager summed up the IEM Cologne Major 2026 for his team

Fernando Podesta Guimarães, performance manager for MIBR’s main CS2 roster
Another Major for MIBR, this time in the heart of Counter-Strike.
We wrapped up our run at the ESL IEM Cologne Major 2026 in the second stage in Germany. We’re left with the feeling that we could have gone further, but we’re leaving with our heads held high and proud of the work we’ve put in throughout the year.
Every tournament only strengthens our belief in ourselves. We know what we want to achieve, we know the level we need to reach, and we continue to work hard every day to make that goal a reality.
We continue to grow, learn, and build something even more solid to meet future challenges.
Thank you to everyone who cheers us on, supports us, and believes in our project. The journey continues.
