**Zekken joined MIBR ahead of the 2026 VCT Americas season as part of a revamped roster alongside aspas, tex, Mazino, and Verno, signing a multi-year deal that runs through the end of 2027.** His move from Sentinels was framed as a deliberate choice to pursue a new project with established Brazilian talent, and he has publicly emphasized mental resilience and a desire to improve together despite early-season inconsistencies and subpar Stage 2 results. Trader sentiment remains closely balanced because the long contract and player statements support retention, yet the team’s mixed form, limited international success, and general roster fluidity in the scene create realistic pathways for a mid-season or offseason departure. Recent roster moves in MIBR’s other divisions have highlighted organizational willingness to adjust lineups when results lag, keeping implied probabilities near even. Further strong playoff performances or qualification for global events could reinforce stability and push “No” higher, while continued struggles, buyout interest from other Americas squads, or shifts in team direction could accelerate a split before the contract expires.
