fragster Shubh 25. September 2023

Matias ‘Saadhak’ Delipetro commits to LOUD Valorant for another two years, solidifying the team’s future amidst roster changes and rising challenges.

Matias ‘Saadhak’ Delipetro, the In-Game Leader (IGL) for LOUD, has officially renewed his contract with the organization for an additional two years. The decision comes after weeks of speculation about Saadhak’s future, as his contract had expired at the conclusion of the 2023 VCT season. Saadhak, a highly regarded figure in the Valorant competitive scene, had attracted attention from various esports organizations, including NRG Esports, during the offseason.

However, after much anticipation and rumor, he confirmed his continued allegiance to LOUD, marking a significant win for the Brazilian organization. LOUD Valorant, the reigning VCT Americas League champion, is facing a transitional period with several roster changes. Notably, Erick ‘aspas’ Santos, a star duelist, announced his departure from the team, leaving a void that needed to be filled.

Aspas’ departure opens up opportunities for young Valorant star

To address this vacancy left by aspas, LOUD has been actively scouting for talent, and they seem to have found a promising prospect in Ilan ‘havoc’ Eloy, an emerging talent from the Brazilian Valorant scene. Havoc’s stellar performance as an entry player for The Union during the 2023 VCT season has garnered attention. His proficiency in playing Duelist roles, particularly agents like Raze and Jett, makes him a valuable addition to the team. However, whether he can seamlessly replace aspas remains a question mark.

As for aspas, the sought-after free agent, his exceptional skills have garnered interest from teams worldwide. The departure of aspas, along with several other players with expiring contracts, has posed significant challenges for LOUD in rebuilding their roster for the upcoming season. The organization must secure two more players to field a complete five-man squad.

Saadhak’s decision to stay with LOUD comes as a relief to the organization and its fans, providing much-needed stability and leadership as they navigate the uncertainties of the offseason. Adaptation and rebuilding will be essential for LOUD as they aim for continued success in the ever-evolving Valorant competitive scene.

As the Valorant competitive landscape undergoes changes, LOUD Valorant remains a team to watch. Their ability to adapt to these changes and build a strong roster will be instrumental in their pursuit of further success in the world of Valorant esports. Stay tuned for more updates on LOUD’s roster moves as they prepare for the upcoming season.
