MIBR Tries to Poach Lukxo and Erde from LOUD for 2027 VALORANT Season

MIBR made a proposal to LOUD to sign Lucca “lukxo” Travaioli and Roberto “erde” Lobos for the 2027 VALORANT season. According to Bruno Povoleri’s reporting from THESPIKE Brasil, the figures are being kept confidential but are considered high. The organization wants to build its new roster around the two world champions

The offer comes after MIBR benched all players from the current roster. With the transfer window set to open on November 2, the organization is already trying to poach two names from the team that won Champions Shanghai 2026.

MIBR Wants to Rebuild Team with Champions

The bid for Lukxo and Erde puts names to the roster overhaul announced by MIBR. According to the report, the priority is to sign the duo to form the core of the 2027 roster. The organization does not intend, at least initially, to reinstate the players who were benched.

The two targets won Champions 2026 with LOUD and finished as runners-up in VCT Americas Stage 2 in the same season. Lukxo has been with the organization since 2025, while Erde joined for 2026 and debuted in Americas Stage 1.

The attempt to sign both players pits two organizations selected for the VCT partnership program in 2027 against each other. MIBR is looking to rebuild its team with players from a rival that has just claimed the world title.

Proposal Still Awaits Response

MIBR is waiting for a response from LOUD to move forward with negotiations. As of the report’s publication, there was no verbal agreement with Lukxo or Erde.

Leviatán is another team interested in signing Erde for the next season, according to THESPIKE Brasil.

Lukxo and Erde are under contract with LOUD until the end of 2027 and have buyout clauses. The report indicates both have a strong chance of leaving the organization in this window, but the departures are not yet finalized. MIBR and LOUD did not comment when contacted by the outlet.

Window Opens November 2

The official opening of the window on November 2 raises expectations for updates on MIBR’s roster building. The organization has already submitted its offer and is waiting on LOUD’s response to continue pursuing the duo.

The date, however, is not a deadline for announcing the players. For now, what exists is a purchase offer, with no verbal agreement in place with the players and competition for Erde.
