Imperial benches AWPer Levi after failing to qualify for IEM
Imperial have benched AWPer Guilherme “levi” Gustavo after a four-month stint. He joined in February, averaged a 1.00 rating and Imperial failed to qualify for the IEM Cologne Major.
Imperial announced the benching of AWPer Guilherme “levi” Gustavo, ending his four-month run on the starting roster. Levi joined the team in February to replace Santino “try” Rigal, who departed for Passion UA.
During his time in the lineup Levi recorded a 1.00 overall rating. Imperial posted a first-place finish and a second-place finish across two editions of the ESL Challenger League but did not qualify for the IEM Cologne Major.
The club is negotiating a loan for Guilherme “saadzin” Pacheco. Saadzin has already played with Imperial in recent open qualifier matches and at the CCT 2026 South America Series 3; a completed loan would make him an option for the AWP role.
Imperial’s current starting roster lists Marcelo “chelo” Cespedes, Vinicius “VINI” Figueiredo, Lucas “decenty” Bacelar and Kaiky “noway” Santos, with the AWP position vacant. The organisation has not announced a long-term plan for the AWP role or whether Levi will remain with the club in a substitute capacity.
The benching follows Imperial’s failure to qualify for the IEM Cologne Major and is part of a series of roster changes this season.
