Guilherme “levi<\/strong>” Gustavo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Levi <\/strong>first made a name for himself with Sharks Youngsters<\/strong> and W7M Esports<\/strong>, which led to his move to 9z <\/strong>in mid-2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While playing for 9z<\/strong>, Levi had some impressive performances and strong ratings in South American events. Still, he had trouble staying consistent and ended with an average rating just over 1.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with these ups and downs, Imperial believes Levi <\/strong>has a lot of potential and could become a key part of the team in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imperial\u2019s Current Lineup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With Levi <\/strong>joining, Imperial\u2019s <\/strong>active roster now features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Marcelo “chelo<\/strong>” Cespedes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Kaiky “noway<\/strong>” Santos<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Vinicius “VINI<\/strong>” Figueiredo<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Guilherme “levi<\/strong>” Gustavo<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Rafael “zakk<\/strong>” Fernandes (coach)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    What This Means for Imperial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This signing shows that Imperial <\/strong>is choosing to rebuild with up-and-coming players instead of established stars. With more roster changes possible, the team seems focused on long-term growth and stability after recent departures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How well Levi <\/strong>adapts to top-level competition will likely shape the success of Imperial\u2019s rebuild, especially as the team works to stay competitive in the changing South American CS2 <\/strong>scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
