Eduardo “Sato” Nagahama, the Brazilian Duelist, is reportedly considering a transfer from Leviatán to G2 Esports. This potential move comes as teams prepare for the upcoming 2027 VALORANT Champions Tour season, indicating a significant shift in the competitive landscape of the game.
G2 and Sato are reportedly planning to work together once the 2027 offseason transfer window opens, according to Sheep Esports. Neither side has officially confirmed the reported move, however, and Sato himself has not publicly addressed the situation. There is currently no official announcement from G2 Esports or Leviatán.
G2 Esports and Sato are looking to team up for the 2027 season when the offseason window officially opens, according to the report. The transfer reports come shortly before VALORANT Champions Shanghai, which is scheduled to take place in China from October 24 through November 18 as the final tournament of the season.
Should the reported deal materialize, the Brazilian Duelist is expected to replace Andrej “babybay” Francisty on the roster. G2 have yet to finalize their fifth player, with Alexander “jawgemo” Mor still among the names being considered for the position. His future with the project has not been completely decided. Leviatán in-game leader kiNgg has also been linked with G2, while current G2 IGL valyn is widely expected to leave the organization, mentioned a Spilled report. G2 Esports qualified for the event as the fourth seed from the Americas region.
