Big changes are coming to the VALORANT scene. The offseason is over, and teams are shaking things up. Etapa 2 of the VALORANT Challengers Brasil 2025 just started, and it’s already heating up. Let’s break down the key moves.
MIBR made a surprising announcement: they’re benching Juliana “Jubs” Oliveira. She’s still under contract, but the team is open to offers. Jubs had a great run with MIBR, winning two Brazilian titles and five national runner-ups.
Big Names on the Move
Team Liquid also made a big change. They dropped Paula “bstrdd” Naguil, which caught many fans off guard. Bstrdd had an amazing record with the team, including seven Brazilian titles.
Over at Corinthians Esports, things are changing too. They let go of coach Bernardo “FLSH” Veloso, and player Isaac “m4nd” Barreto decided to leave on his own.
New Faces, New Teams
After three years with FURIA, Leonardo “mwzera” Serrati joined LOS, the current VCB champs. This move meant Leandro “frz” Gomes got benched, even after winning a national title.
But frz didn’t stay benched for long. RED Canids snapped him up, along with coach Elias “DRAGziKW” Santiles and Gabriel “gaabxx” Carli, who’s back as captain. This new lineup is already paying off: they just beat LOS 2-0 in their first match of Etapa 2.
The “ex-factor” was in full effect in this match, with frz taking MVP honors. It’s clear that these roster changes are going to shake things up in the VALORANT scene. Stay tuned to see what’s next.
