Prior to 2025, Verno was known as one of the most promising tier 2 prospects from North America. During his two years with Oxygen Esports Oxygen Esports Inactive skuba Logan Jenkins mitch Mitch Semago Verno Andrew Maust Reduxx Yassin Aboulalazm dapr Michael Gulino , he was consistently a top player in the league, with only age keeping him from joining the partnership leagues.

Finally becoming eligible in time for the 2025 season, he was signed to NRG Esports NRG Esports North America Rank #2 FiNESSE Pujan Mehta s0m Sam Oh brawk Brock Somerhalder mada Adam Pampuch Ethan Ethan Arnold with one of the most hyped rosters across VCT. NRG and Verno's dominance in the offseason only raised their expectations higher. However, when the time came to perform, NRG fell flat, disappointingly finding only one win in Kickoff, leading to Verno and bonkar 's removal from the active roster.

After two years at the bottom of the Americas league, MIBR finally found their breakout performance in 2025, placing third at Kickoff. It thus came as a shock when they decided to make changes, especially for such a wildcard pickup. It remains to be seen how the Brazilian team will communicate with the addition of the English-speaking Verno.

Verno will make his debut with MIBR in their week one matchup against LEVIATÁN LEVIATÁN Latin America South Rank #1 Demon1 Max Mazanov tex Ian Botsch Rossy Daniel Abedrabbo kiNgg Francisco Aravena C0M Corbin Lee .
