Can Leadr revive LOUD’s Valorant fortunes?

LOUD entered the Valorant competitive scene as a dominant force, setting themselves as one of the best teams in the Americas and globally. Their achievements include a second-place finish at Valorant masters Reykjavík 2022 and winning the prestigious Valorant Champions 2022 title. While 2023 saw them become the Americas champions and secure second place at VCT lock in São Paulo alongside third at Valorant champions, 2024 was a decline for them.

The team began the year with a fourth-place finish at Valorant masters Madrid, but then suffered visa issues that hindered their preparation. Consequently, LOUD has struggled, becoming a mid-low table team unable to match the pace set by rivals like Sentinels, G2 Esports, Leviatán, and MIBR. With the Brazilian community demanding a return to glory and LOUD recently parting ways with players Dougla “dgzin” Silva and Arthur “tuyz” Vieira, leaving only three players, Leadr is under immense pressure to rebuild and restore the team’s former Valorant standing.
