After competing for six years for some of the most notable squads in LATAM and Brazilian Valorant, Benjamín "adverso" Poblete has called it a career.

“This has undoubtedly been the best six years of my life,” he said. “I achieved things I could only imagine before: playing in a world championship, living abroad, traveling the world, representing an entire region, and making a living from it.”

He cited a gradual decline in passion for the game, one that has been lingering for a while, but only from a playing perspective.

“This isn't a definitive goodbye to esports,” he said. “My intention is to keep making an impact from another position, so I'm open to new projects and opportunities.”

adverso began his playing career in 2020, playing in a hyper-competitive scene alongside names like Tacolilla , kiNgg , and Melser on teams like Santiago Wanderers Santiago Wanderers Inactive Bregon adverso Benjamín Poblete HussaR Manuel Rodriguez Tacolilla Vicente Compagnon nazek , Rebirth Esports Rebirth Esports Inactive KNZY Mystizip sh0twell Javier Rivera alca Cristóbal Cancino vaiZ Matías Barría ruso , and Australs Australs Inactive leadssj Kimbo maxhinh9 nx1 chubizin .
