Team Vitality Team Vitality Europe Rank #27 Derke Nikita Sirmitev Chronicle Timofey Khromov KovaQ Blendi Kovaci has announced the departure of Brazilian import player Felipe "Less" de Loyola Basso.

Less made the flip from Americas to EMEA last year, joining Vitality in a star-studded rebuild that also saw the organization pick up FNATIC FNATIC Europe Rank #1 crashies Austin Roberts Boaster Jake Howlett kaajak Kajetan Haremski Veqaj Sylvain Pattyn Alfajer Emir Ali Beder Duelist Derke . As one of the original members of LOUD LOUD Brazil Rank #5 lukxo Lucca Travaioli Virtyy Leandro Moreno pANcada Bryan Luna cauanzin Cauan Pereira , Less is most well-known for his contributions towards the Brazilian outfit lifting the Champions Istanbul trophy in 2022.

In 2023, the first year of Valorant's partnership era, Less and LOUD failed to live up to the lofty expectations that it set with the pre-partnership world title, finishing second on home soil at LOCK//IN and then wrapping up the year with a third-place finish at Champions Los Angeles. After seeing founding members Sacy and pANcada depart ahead of the 2023 season, LOUD dealt with another change to its personnel, with aspas leaving for LEVIATÁN LEVIATÁN North America Rank #8 Sato Eduardo Kenzo Nagahama Sato kiNgg Francisco Aravena . LOUD started the year without missing a beat, finishing fourth at Masters Madrid, but ended the year on a whimper, failing to qualify for the second Masters event of the year and Champions as a whole.

Since the end of a season in which it clinched one regional trophy but missed out on Masters Toronto and Champions Paris, Vitality has been hard at work in rebuilding for a second straight offseason. The organization has signed Chronicle , reuniting him with his former FNATIC teammate Derke, parted ways with Kicks , and benched head coach Faded .

Vitality parts ways with Less after just one season, and the Brazilian veteran appears to be teasing a return to home soil.

"I wanted to thank Vitality for all the time I spent with them in a league, culture, and fanbase that were completely new to me," Less said. "It was a challenge for me to go there, perform, and become a champion totally outside my comfort zone. But I think it's time to come back.."
