“Following discussions with the players' representatives and considering the significant changes to the competitive structure for 2027, including the regional transition and the challenges associated with it, MIBR has decided to reassess its Valorant roster for the upcoming season,” the team stated. “As part of this process, the players will be moved to the inactive roster and made available for transfer negotiations.
After a top six finish at Champions 2025, MIBR elected to rebuild around aspas and Verno, bringing zekken, Mazino, and tex to reunite the 2024 LEVIATÁN core and create a roster with superteam-level expectations within Americas.

However, the team struggled to live up to those expectations, losing three consecutive best-of-five qualification matchups in Kickoff to miss out on Masters Santiago and exiting Stage 1 in the top six. They managed to make it to EWC and place top eight, but once again ended top six in Stage 2, failing to qualify to any of the three VCT global events over the course of the year.
MIBR was recently announced as a VCT partnered team heading into 2027. As a partner, MIBR would have been able to grandfather the existing roster into 2027 and compete in Brazil despite the two-import restriction, but otherwise need at least three Brazilian players in order to compete in the region.
