    What started as a trial has now become a transfer. According to a report from THESPIKE Brazil, Sentinels have finalized the signing of Gabriel "cortezia" Cortez, who had been released by MIBR to listen to offers from other teams several weeks ago.

    Now, Sentinels and MIBR have reached an agreement that will see cortezia don the red jersey for the 2026 season of the VCT Americas. Only a few final details remain before the deal is completed and the Brazilian player is officially announced by Sentinels.

    Earlier this month, cortezia travelled to the US to partake in a trial with Sentinels. After a little more than a week practicing with the team, cortezia impressed the North American organization.

    Over time, Sentinels and Brazil have formed a fruitful partnership, with Bryan "pANcada" Luna and Gustavo "Sacy" Rossi having played key roles in the team in the past. Now, cortezia will become the third Brazilian player to play for Sentinels in the Americas.

    Signed by MIBR at the end of 2024, cortezia turned out to be one of the team’s standout players throughout the past season, helping the Brazilian squad to top 3 finishes at VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - Americas Kickoff and VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - Americas Stage 1. This proved enough to see the team head to the global stage to compete at VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - Masters Toronto 2025 as well as VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - Valorant Champions, where the squad was able to close out the year with a strong top 5 finish.

    While we will need to wait and see what the rest of the Sentinels roster ends up looking like before we head into the new year, there’s no denying that the signing of cortezia is a terrific start to the offseason for the organization.
