A key player from the globally recognized VALORANT team MIBR has departed the roster, marking a significant shift for the organization fresh off a top-five finish at the Champions 2025 tournament.
Arthur “artzin” Araujo’s exit, announced by MIBR on Monday, October 27, 2025, is the team’s first official change since their impressive global performance.
Industry rumors, specifically reported by THESPIKE Brasil journalist Bruno Povoleri, suggest artzin has reached a verbal agreement to join rival organization FURIA for the 2026 franchise season, reportedly beating out LOUD for his signature.
Artzin, who joined MIBR in October 2023, was the longest-serving member of the team’s star-studded lineup, completing two years with the organization.
During his tenure, he contributed to significant achievements, including a third-place finish at the Americas Kickoff, winning Stage 1 of VCT Americas, and securing fifth place at the last World Championship.
MIBR posted a farewell message on social media platform X, celebrating artzin’s contributions to their history. The post included a video montage of his time with the team.
Today we say goodbye to an athlete who marked our history in #VCTAmericas.@1artzin, you were special to us and we will always remember your journey honoring the MIBR mantle. You entered as a promise and leave as a world top 5. Thank you for all your dedication and effort! We wish…
