Less reportedly agrees to join MIBR for VCT 2027

Felipe “Less” Basso has reportedly reached a verbal agreement to join MIBR for the 2027 VCT season. The transfer cannot be completed until MIBR and KRÜ Esports agree on terms for the Brazilian player.

A report published Nov. 13 said Less remains under contract with KRÜ through the end of 2027. Riot Games’ contract database lists the same term. KRÜ benched Less in October but reportedly wants to retain him for next season.

The chance to play alongside Douglas “dgzin” Silva reportedly helped convince Less to accept MIBR’s offer. The Duelist has also reached a verbal agreement with MIBR for 2027, although the organization has not announced the signing.

MIBR recently benched its entire starting roster as it prepares for a rebuild. Cristopher Rhuan “Kring” Pastorio and João Pedro “Turkish” Osorio, who currently play for MIBR Academy, are also expected to join the main roster next season. Neither MIBR nor KRÜ has publicly commented on the negotiations.

Less joined KRÜ before the 2026 season after playing for LOUD and Team Vitality. He won the 2022 VALORANT Champions title with LOUD. Visa issues kept Less and KRÜ’s other starters out of the 2026 Americas Kickoff, but he later played in both stages of VCT Americas.

KRÜ did not qualify for an international VCT event in 2026. MIBR also missed both Masters tournaments and Champions, finishing fourth at Americas Kickoff and fifth-sixth in each stage of VCT Americas. After the season, MIBR retained its place in the VCT Americas partnership program for 2027 and began rebuilding its roster.
