I Love Loud, I love the players and the narrative they have, I’m a huge fan. However, they are fighting a loosing battle. Their Leader Sacy has already shown he might be developing Hiko Syndrome, not to mention our region (BR) has not yet understood how to fully explore Valorants Gameplay. I personally believe that this is due to Brazils Pros having too much CSGO pride to properly adapt. Which leads to regional Vcts with no stimulating challenge, Loud isn’t being challenged by any other BR team which in turn halts their development. KRU has Leviathan, Optic has Guild and others, Etc. Almost every promising region has rival teams, but Loud doesn’t.
Something very incredible but worrying is Louds STRONG adaptive skills, as they basically only have few weeks to train for international events. Which although they lost to KRU and Optic they didn’t go down without a proper fight even though they didn’t have time to train in the international meta.
To summarize my viewpoint; Loud has Champions Winner Potential, but I do not believe they will win because of Brazils Prideful other teams that seam to refuse to evolve.
