The VALORANT team at LOUD is going through some big changes. They’re competing in the VCT Américas, and things just got interesting.
Bruno Garcia, the team’s psychologist, is out. Players past and present showed love for him on social media. Gustavo “Sacy” Rossi, a former player and world champ, tweeted about how much Bruno meant to the team. Douglas “dgzin” Silva, the team’s current duelist, also shared some kind words.
Bruno worked with LOUD for about three years. He was based in Brazil while the team was in the US. He said the decision to work remotely wasn’t entirely his.
LOUD’s owner, Jean “loudgods” Ortega, posted about the changes on X (formerly Twitter). He talked about new projects and restructuring. He mentioned that results don’t happen overnight.
The team is getting a new player, Lucca “luk xo” Travaioli. He’s taking Arthur “tuyz” Vieira’s spot. Luk xo is just 18, but he’s already making waves. He was promoted to “active” in the Riot Games database, which means he can play in official games.
The team tried out different lineups, but it looks like luk xo will play sentinela, with Vinicius “v1nny” Gonçalves as captain. The new lineup is:
- Lucca “luk xo” Travaioli
- Douglas “dgzin” Silva
- Vinicius “v1nny” Gonçalves
- Bryan “pANcada” Luna
- Cauan “cauanzin” Pereira
- Jordan “stkJ” Nunes (coach)
You can catch the team in action on Friday at 9 PM (Brasília time) against 100 Thieves. The game will be streamed on the VALORANT Esports Brasil channels on Twitch and YouTube.
