He joins an MIBR roster that has little to no international experience nor has a single player with experience lifting a trophy at Valorant's highest level.
After signing with LOUD, aspas immediately enjoyed a trophy-laden 2022 season with them. The team completed an unbeaten campaign at Brazil Stage 1 Challengers, qualifying for Masters Reykjavik, where they lost in the grand final to

Following a disappointing showing at Masters, LOUD managed to lift the Champions trophy, exacting revenge on OpTic in back-to-back meetings to earn Brazil and the Americas region its first world championship.
