Gustavo “Sacy” Rossi has announced his departure from MIBR, ending a stint of approximately one year and eight months as a streamer and content creator. The former VALORANT world champion shared a farewell video on Monday, November 9, saying he had decided to pursue a new opportunity in 2027.

In the video, Sacy thanked MIBR's staff, players and fans. He explained that he had spoken with the organization before making his decision and that it had not stood in his way. “They let me follow my dream,” he said.

MIBR also bid farewell to the content creator on social media, highlighting his connection with the community and leaving the door open for a possible return. Sacy echoed that sentiment, saying, “This isn't goodbye, it's see you later.”

Sacy's Time at MIBR

Sacy joined MIBR in March 2025, roughly six months after retiring from professional VALORANT in September 2024. Rather than returning to competition as a player, he represented the organization as a content creator, hosting streams and watch parties for tournaments including VCT Americas.

The partnership also gave him a chance to reconnect with Erick “aspas” Santos, with whom he had won Champions 2022 at LOUD. Aspas was playing for MIBR at the time. In a December 2025 interview with THESPIKE Brasil, Sacy explained that the organization's infrastructure and his broadcasts helped promote the team, while MIBR supported his work as a content creator.

During his time with MIBR, Sacy was announced as one of the co-streamers for the VCT Americas 2026 Stage 2 finals in São Paulo and was also included in the event's fan meet-and-greet program. He appeared in the music video for “Faz o Mundo Ouvir,” the official song for the tournament's final stage.

Departure Comes Amid T1 Coaching Reports

His departure comes just days after reports emerged that Sacy could become T1's head coach for VCT 2027. According to the report, the Brazilian has reached an agreement with the South Korean organization, although T1 has yet to officially announce his appointment.

According to THESPIKE Brasil, MIBR offered Sacy a role similar to that of a technical advisor, which would have allowed him to continue as a content creator for the organization. He declined the offer and maintained his decision to pursue the new opportunity.

If his move to T1 is confirmed, it will mark Sacy's first professional coaching role in VALORANT. He did not reveal his next destination in the farewell video, but said he was excited about the change and that fans would soon learn what he plans to do in 2027.
