Loud

Why is a team that just won champs and dommed all year breaking up?

I legit think this makes no sense

But loud were cleared by Riot and got into franchising while teams like TSM and Faze weren't. If they thought it was going to be an issue they should have tried to transfer as a team to NIP or MIBR or even G2 before franchising was official.

I mean we all as a collective kinda understand how hard it is to be the best team and STAY that way in this game. With the meta shifts and everything that come act by act, it makes the most sense for the team to take their win, walk away with a legacy, and cash whatever checks they can find now that they are the team everyone is looking at. If they stay together, they run the risk of falling out and bombing in the next tourney, and then every valorant fan calls them SEN/Gambit/Acend/FPX 2.0. Its almost a formula at this point

Yeah but they were also finalists at the first LAN of the year and seemed like they could have beaten optic. Obv they didn't but those were two diff points in the meta and they thrived during both.

the problem is that since the stocks of all Loud players are through the roof, it's very hard for the org to retain all of them
another org with the same budget can spend much more on a single Loud player and spare with the rest of the roster, so Loud can't compete with all these orgs bidding individually for each of their players
besides even with Riot's help, the Brazilian orgs have much less money than the NA orgs
