Leviatán is very close to signing aspas for VCT 2024

Reports and rumors continue about players currently in VCT free agency. This time, we stay in South America, as Erick “aspas” Santos, former LOUD star, continues to be the focus of attention of many VCT teams for next season.

According to several reports that have surfaced in the last few hours, Leviatán, another South American team, is very close to signing the Brazilian superstar.

There is no doubt that Aspas is one of the most desirable free agents currently in the VCT. However, the language barrier may be a key point in the negotiations, as we all know that Brazilian players prefer to stay in Portuguese or, in any case, Spanish-speaking lineups.

Aspas has reportedly reached an agreement with Leviatán

Aspas, one of the players currently in free agency in the VCT offseason, has reportedly reached a “verbal” agreement with Leviatán for VCT 2024. The Brazilian superstar duelist is a player that any team would like to have in their lineup, and if this news is confirmed, it would be a very big quality leap would remain in the South American squad. Finally, all this information comes to light thanks to reports from Alejandro Gomis of blix.gg.

On the other hand, this would be the first move the South American organization would make in this VCT offseason, in addition to the known departures of Vicente “Tacolilla” Compagnon and coach Rodrigo “Onur” Dalmagro. However, if this move is confirmed, the team would gain the services of the MVP of the VALORANT Champions 2022 and, above all, a superstar on the rise.

About LOUD

Aspas did not renew his contract with LOUD after winning the VALORANT Champions 2022 and being the most dominant team in the VCT Americas League 2023. However, the fact that the team lost two players, Gustavo “Sacy” Rossi and Bryan “pANcada” Luna, made one think that the synergy would not be the same in the squad.

Although the team dominate in 2023, everything seems to indicate that people got it right. It was reported several times that the team had internal problems in its roster. However, Aspas maintained his level of play and took home the MVP of the Americas award before becoming a free agent.

About Leviatán

On the other hand, we go to the other side of the coin, Leviatán, a South American team that came close to qualifying for the VALORANT Champions 2023, but they fell just short.

There is no doubt that the addition of aspas to the lineup raises some questions, as now all the team’s play should revolve around the Brazilian. Moreover, let’s remember that the team’s performance depended exclusively on the level of play of Tacolilla and Francisco “kiNgg” Aravena.

On the other hand, now that Tacolilla is not on the team, the Duelist role is available in Leviatán, and there is no one better than aspas to fill it, fill the void, and, above all, carry this team.

Undoubtedly, this would be a completely new environment for the former LOUD star, as he will have to adapt to new play styles and a new language. However, we are sure he will have no problem showing his best form and style of play.
