KRÜ Visa have officially revealed their VALORANT roster for the 2026 season, confirming the arrivals of Jesús Federico “Dantedeu5” Larroza, Leonardo “mwzera” Serrati, Matías “saadhak” Delipetro, Caio “silentz” Morita, and Felipe “Less” Basso. The announcement marks a decisive reset for the organization following a challenging 2025 campaign, with KRÜ opting to rebuild around experienced international veterans and proven regional talent from both Argentina and Brazil.

The headline move is the reunion of saadhak and Less, two players best known for their championship-winning partnership on LOUD, winning the 2022 VCT Champions trophy in Istanbul. Their return to the same team together immediately gives KRÜ one of the most decorated cores in the Americas heading into the new season, especially after the duo spent time playing in VCT EMEA on different rosters.

KRÜ’s Recent Competitive Performance

KRÜ entered the 2025 VCT Americas season aiming to re-establish themselves as a consistent international presence, but results fell short of that goal. While the team remained competitive in regional league play, they were unable to convert their efforts into qualification for any of the three VCT international events in 2025 and did not qualify for Champions either despite minor improvements ahead of Stage 2. As the season progressed, it became clear that a structural rebuild was necessary, leading to sweeping roster changes ahead of 2026.

This new lineup represents KRÜ’s most significant overhaul since their original transition into the partnered league era.

Saadhak and Less: A Proven Championship Foundation

Matías “saadhak” Delipetro joins KRÜ after one of the most accomplished careers in VALORANT history. As the in-game leader of LOUD, saadhak led the Brazilian organization to victory at VALORANT Champions 2022, followed by a second-place finish at Champions 2023. Across multiple seasons, he has been recognized for his strategic depth, adaptability across roles, and ability to consistently elevate team structure at the highest level of competition. He played with Karmine Corp in EMEA as their IGL, but returns to the Americas region after failing to qualify for Champions.

Alongside him is Felipe “Less” Basso, widely regarded as one of the best sentinel players of the VCT era. Also a key part of LOUD’s championship core in 2022, Less was instrumental in their international success through his consistency, clutch play, and elite defensive setups. His performances across multiple Champions events established him as one of the most reliable anchors in professional VALORANT. He reunites with saadhak after spending the last year on Vitality alongside the likes of Derke, but that was another roster that failed to see international results after a Kickoff trophy win. The reunion of these two players brings immediate leadership and championship pedigree to KRÜ’s rebuild.

Mwzera: Longtime Brazilian Star Power

mwzera arrives as one of Brazil’s most recognizable names. He first rose to prominence with Keyd Stars, where he helped the team qualify for VALORANT Champions 2021, Brazil’s first appearance at the event. Over the following years, mwzera remained active across top-level Brazilian competition, competing in VCT Brazil and Americas league play and consistently ranking among the region’s top performers in individual statistics. After his performance with FURIA for the last year and half, he took a break after Stage 1. While team results have varied, mwzera’s longevity at the top level underscores his value as an experienced and battle-tested player.

Dantedeu5 and silentz: Regional Experience and Stability

Dantedeu5 represents Argentina’s challenger ecosystem and has built his reputation through consistent appearances in South American and LATAM competitions. Over the past two seasons, he has competed in regional leagues and qualifiers, gaining experience against both established organizations and emerging rosters. He joined KRÜ for Stage 2 last year and showed signs of brilliance, and his inclusion strengthens KRÜ’s Argentine presence while adding flexibility to the lineup.

Ex-2G player silentz rounds out the roster with a background rooted in Brazilian competitive play. silentz has spent multiple seasons competing in Brazil’s VCT ecosystem, including Challenger-level events, where he developed a reputation for reliable fundamentals and supportive play. He won Ascension with 2G in 2025 and remained with them for 2025. His experience in structured regional competition provides balance alongside KRÜ’s star players.

Looking Ahead to 2026

With this roster, KRÜ Visa enter the 2026 season with a clear emphasis on experience, leadership, and international credibility. The combination of world champions, long-standing Brazilian stars, and regional mainstays reflects a deliberate approach to rebuilding after a difficult year. Rather than chasing unproven experiments, KRÜ have assembled a lineup grounded in players who have already competed—and succeeded—at the highest levels of VALORANT.

As VCT Americas prepares for another competitive cycle, KRÜ’s new roster will be closely watched as one of the region’s most significant offseason moves.
