Just a day after Tyson "TenZ" Ngo announced his retirement from Valorant, another star, Gustavo "Sacy" Rossi, has stepped away from the competitive scene. Sacy, a 2022 world champion and one of the most celebrated Initiator mains in Valorant, retires as a member of Sentinels, leaving behind a legacy of excellence across multiple teams.

Sacy is among the few players to have won multiple international tournaments in Valorant, making a significant impact both globally and in his home country of Brazil. His success includes bringing a world title to his motherland and competing in-person at events like LOCK//IN, where he inspired many emerging talents.

Sentinels honoured Sacy's career with a tribute video, celebrating his contributions to their 2024 season and the team's successes. In a heartfelt farewell, Sacy expressed gratitude to fans for their unwavering support, stating that it's now time for him to focus on his life beyond Esports.

Sacy's retirement, following TenZ's, marks the end of an era in Valorant. His influence on the game, particularly in the Brazilian scene, will be remembered as he transitions into the next chapter of his life.
