According to sources, FURIA are expected to reach an agreement to sign Danilo
"kv1" Michelini as a replacement for Gabriel
"Lostt." Buzon, who is set to depart the organization after three years, as first reported by
Rocket Street and
50/50. He will link up with Yan "
yANXNZ" Nolasco, Pedro
"swiftt." Gomes, and head coach Bruno
"brunovisqui" Grandini for the Rocket League Club Championship starting in December.
The move has been a long time coming for the Brazilian veteran, who has competed on some of South America’s top teams outside of FURIA, including The Club and Team Secret. He spent Split 2 of last season competing with BS+COMPETITION alongside Cauã "crn" Cerione and Celso "wisty" Souza Bispo, winning one Regional Open but ultimately failing to qualify for a single RLCS LANs in 3s. He narrowly lost the South American LCQ in a seven-game series against Bigodes, who went on to reach the 2026 World Championship group stage. However, kv1 managed to appear at the 2026 World Championship after winning the South American 1v1 Open.
To make way for the 20-year-old, Lostt is expected to part ways with FURIA ahead of a move to join FaZe Clan, where he will link up with crn and former teammate Bernardo "Bemmz" Marta. FaZe Clan are entering the esport for a second time and have been invited to participate in the RLCS Club Championship. Lostt originally joined FURIA in January 2023, linking up with the squad in North America. Despite failing to reach the 2022-23 World Championship that season, he has appeared at the past three World Championships and has qualified for nine RLCS LANs in a row. Fans will get their first glimpse of the new FaZe Clan squad at the London Kick-Off LAN.
With the South American offseason now coming to a close, both FURIA and FaZe Clan are expected to be the only two partnered teams. In a tweet by the MIBR esports manager, the organization confirmed that they had not been invited to the partner program but the RLCS 2026 roster was planning to stick and fight through the Kick-Off Open Qualifiers. The team is currently signed up to the qualifier on
start.gg.
