Two Brazilian CS:GO teams, MIBR and Imperial, have left their respective bootcamps in Warsaw, Poland following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as reported by Globo Esporte, after being contacted by both the organizations.

MIBR and Imperial had to change their original training schedule, cutting short the bootcamp by around four days and flying back to Brazil yesterday on 24th February.

In total three Brazilian teams GODSENT, MIBR, and Impreial are leaving their bootcamps in Poland to return back home amidst the ongoing Ukraine crisis. While MIBR and Imperial have already taken a flight back home yesterday, GODSENT is planning to leave on Sunday.

MIBR was one of the participants at IEM Katowice 2022, but failed to make its way through the Play-In stage of the tournament. The team decided to stay back in Poland itself and bootcamp at the Kinguin Esports Performance Center, training against European teams. They were set to compete at the Pinnacle Winter Series #2 from Friday onwards, but withdrew due to the current situation and flew back home.

On the other hand, Imperial had arrived in Poland just last week to hold its first bootcamp in Europe and practice for the upcoming South American open qualifiers of PGL Major Antwerp 2022, scheduled to take place next month onwards.
