MIBR ends loan of kl1m from G2 after two Major appearances

Klimentii “kl1m” Krivosheev’s time wearing the MIBR jersey is officially over. The loan agreement that brought the Russian AWPer from G2 Ares to the Brazilian organization has concluded following the IEM Cologne Major 2026, ending a partnership that began on August 26, 2025.

Here’s the thing: kl1m isn’t just heading back to the bench. G2 is reportedly open to permanent transfer offers for the young talent, but has ruled out any further loan deals.

A loan that reshaped MIBR’s identity

The arrangement initially came together as MIBR looked to replace saffee, their longtime AWPer who had been benched. Bringing in a Russian player to a historically Brazilian roster was a clear signal that MIBR was serious about internationalizing its lineup.

During his loan tenure, kl1m posted standout ratings above 1.20 in crucial 2025 events. For context, a 1.00 rating in CS2 is considered average. Anything consistently north of 1.20 puts you in conversation with some of the best individual performers in the scene.

The loan spanned roughly ten months, during which kl1m appeared in two Major events for MIBR.

What comes next for kl1m

Kl1m has reportedly chosen not to pursue opportunities with other European teams. G2’s willingness to entertain concrete offers, combined with their refusal to loan kl1m out again, suggests they see real market value in the player and want to capitalize on it rather than continuing to develop talent for someone else’s benefit.

What this means for MIBR and the transfer market

MIBR now faces its own set of decisions. The organization has already demonstrated a willingness to look beyond Brazil’s borders for talent. Bringing kl1m back on a permanent basis would provide roster continuity. The player already knows the team’s systems, has chemistry with his teammates, and has proven he can deliver in high-pressure environments.

But permanent transfers cost real money. And MIBR would need to negotiate with G2, an organization that clearly believes it holds a valuable asset. The leverage here tilts toward G2. They have a player other teams want, and they’ve removed the cheaper loan option from the table.
