saadhak and pANcada to reunite in VCT 2027 qualifier

Matias “saadhak” Delipetro and Bryan “pANcada” Luna will play together again on SÓ TEM VELHO in the Brazilian qualifier for VCT Americas Kickoff 2027.

The roster was formed for the qualifier and currently includes Arthur “artzin” Araujo and Douglas “dgzin” Silva. A fifth player will be selected through tryouts. João Victor “Fame” Moraes will coach the team.

SÓ TEM VELHO plans to compete only in the qualifier and is not currently seeking an organization. The VCT transfer window opens Nov. 2, when the players can consider offers for the 2027 season.

Saadhak remains under contract with KRÜ Esports through the end of 2027 but has permission to negotiate with other teams. The roster does not confirm a permanent lineup for the upcoming VCT season.

The first Brazilian qualifier is scheduled to begin Nov. 5, 2026. The second qualifier is scheduled for Nov. 12. The qualifying teams will advance to the national playoffs. The playoff winner will earn a direct place in VCT Americas Kickoff 2027, while the runner-up will have another chance to qualify through the Americas Last Chance Qualifier in December.

Artzin played for FURIA in 2026, while dgzin represented Evil Geniuses. Saadhak and pANcada previously teamed up on LOUD, winning the 2022 VALORANT Champions title. They became teammates again in 2024 after pANcada returned from Sentinels. Saadhak left the Brazilian organization at the end of that year and joined Karmine Corp.

The players nearly reunited again in 2026, when pANcada discussed joining KRÜ for the second stage of VCT Americas. The deal fell through after pANcada encountered problems obtaining a U.S. visa.
