After the elimination from the competition, Fer played a prank on the CS: GO community. A few hours ago he posted a tweet saying that the StarSeries is his last tournament with the Brazilian team. This came as a shock to the entire community. However a couple of hours he completed his statement saying that this is his last tournament, until the BLAST Pro Series Miami.
Not much to say.
Last tournament with the guys!— Fernando Alvarenga (@fer) March 31, 2019
Let’s hope that things go well for the Brazilian from now on. They have lost so many competitions with the most terrible being the BLAST Pro Series Sao Paulo. The side lost all of its matches. They are in dire need of good results, or we see this prank a horrible truth for the MIBR.
