Former world champion pANcada available for 2027 season

Bryan “pANcada” Luna announced on September 16 that he is a free agent for the 2027 VALORANT season. He is open to individual offers or to helping build a new team project from scratch.

The Brazilian has not played an official match since January. He was removed from LOUD’s starting lineup after the team lost to Cloud9, 100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses at the 2026 Americas Kickoff, and the organization and player formally parted ways on May 4.

pANcada was part of the LOUD roster that won VALORANT Champions 2022 in Istanbul. He joined Sentinels for the 2023 season and returned to LOUD in mid-2024. LOUD finished near the bottom of the standings in 2025 and made further changes in 2026.

After his return he took over in-game leader duties before being benched following the Americas Kickoff defeats that led to the team’s early elimination.

A potential transfer to KRÜ Esports for VCT Americas Stage 2 nearly brought him back into competition, but the move collapsed when he could not secure a U.S. visa in time. That prevented any official appearances after January.

At the time of his departure from LOUD he thanked the organization and fans and wrote, “see you in 2027.” He later described being surprised to be among the first players removed from the starting lineup.

There are no public reports of teams courting pANcada. He will be available during the offseason for offers from established rosters or for groups looking to create a new lineup ahead of the 2027 VALORANT season.
