Rumor: Sentinels Reportedly Sign Brazilian Star cortezia

According to TheSpike, the North American powerhouse Sentinels has reportedly signed Brazilian player Gabriel “cortezia” Cortez to its VALORANT roster.

The move follows cortezia’s impressive performance with MIBR during VALORANT Champions 2025, where he stood out despite the team’s overall early exit. After the event, MIBR moved cortezia to the bench, leaving the talented duelist open for transfer — a situation that Sentinels appears ready to capitalize on.

At the same time, Sentinels recently parted ways with Sean “bang” Bezerra, signaling a shift in their roster strategy. However, cortezia and bang play different in-game roles, meaning that if the signing is confirmed, the team may need to adjust its structure or perform a role swap to integrate the Brazilian into its lineup effectively.

🏆 Sentinels’ Current State

Sentinels closed out the VCT 2025 season with a 13th–16th place finish at VALORANT Champions — a result that fell short of expectations for one of the region’s most celebrated teams. With the offseason in full swing, the organization is clearly looking to revitalize its roster ahead of the VCT 2026 circuit, which officially kicks off in January 2026.

If the rumors prove true, cortezia’s arrival could inject new firepower and international flair into Sentinels’ lineup, marking another major step in the team’s ongoing rebuild.
