Brazilian esports organization LOS is withdrawing from competitive VALORANT, a decision driven by a recent corporate acquisition that created a conflict of interest preventing it from competing in the same league as a newly acquired sister team.
LOS, which secured the championship in the first split of the VALORANT Challengers Brazil (VCB) earlier this year, announced its official departure from the scene. The move follows the acquisition of another major esports entity, Made In Brazil (MIBR), by Spun MÃdia, the Brazilian mediatech that also manages LOS.
The acquisition of MIBR by Spun MÃdia was confirmed on Friday, May 24. This merger means both LOS and MIBR now operate under the same corporate umbrella, EZOR.
Esports competitive regulations typically prohibit organizations with common ownership from fielding teams in the same game or league to prevent conflicts of interest and maintain competitive integrity.
Kakavel, CEO of LOS, confirmed the immediate departure from the VCB. “With the creation of EZOR, the two organizations will coexist, but will not be in the same modality initially,” Kakavel stated.
Earlier in October, LOS had already released its VALORANT roster. This action had signaled a potential overhaul or complete exit, which has now materialized.
MIBR has confirmed it will continue its participation in the VCT Americas league. It will also maintain its academy roster in the VALORANT Challengers Brazil.
LOS still holds a valuable spot in the 2026 VCB season. The organization must now decide whether to sell this spot or transfer it to the core players who competed for the team in 2025 and won this year’s first VCB split.
