do you think they're overhyped? can they take a series agains't a EMEA team? have you watched their matches?
The nerve on some of these emea rats... This is the best team Brazil has ever produced. I think this team can easily breeze through all tier 1 teams and challenge the best team in each region. Mark my words, it's a stacked super team that lacks nothing in the frag/aim/teamplay department. Won't be remotely surprised when they make it to semis.
Here's an opinion from a brazilian, since i've seen most of people here don't know LOUD properly.
They are BY FAR the best team ever formed in brazil. Much more better than Keyd. Let's not forget that keyd won against Acend.
https://www.vlr.gg/77810/loud-vs-keyd-stars-champions-tour-brazil-stage-1-challengers-1-ubsf >>>>> Loud won 13 x 1 vs keyd on breeze.
They have SACY that is the one of the best sova in the world, Saadhak that was on that Vikings team, that almost won against GAMBIT...
put it together with ASPAS the best duelist in brazil(Yeah, he's better than Heat) and MVP of VCT brasil, PANCADA the best controller in brazil and Less that is the best sentinel. All five players are very skilled and smart, and they have very good tactics. I would say that depending on the group, they can go very far this masters.
He is totally right Champions have to be their goal it's the Major. Furthermore, the champions schedule give them time enough to do a 30 days bootcamp on Europe
It's as they said they finally learned how to properly play the game when they did the bootcamp for the last Champions but they didn't have 5 players with well assigned roles to play how they wanted to - for example gtn wasn't comfortable playing the duelist role, Frz wasn't comfortable playing as their Flex
Every time there's been one good looking brazil team that's been overhyped. Stage 2 it was Vikings who were eliminated in consecutive 2-0 defeats to Sen and TL. Stage 3 it was Vivo Keyd who got clapped in groups with two 2-0 defeats to Optic (then Envy) and Kru. Now it's Loud who's being hyped up by the Brazilian fans. I do see more potential in this team than I've seen ever in any Brazilian team, but I fear a similar story depending on who's in their group. This time tho, there are only 2 teams from NA. Most likely, if we were to see the group format, it might potentially be Loud (BR 1), Fnatic (Emea 3), Xerxia (Sea 2), and maybe Zeta, with notably no NA team in the same group, giving them a greater chance of advancing.
I can't remember them being overhyped at the first international Masters, the only team that they beated on scrim was Liquid. They won against X10 and then they faced the 2 favorites team Sen and TL. About stage 3 i agree. But i don't think this 3 teams are comparables. Brazil only learned how to play Valorant when our 3 teams did the bootcamp, Furia played very well against Sentinels and Kru, VKS played well against Gambit, Vivo Keyd played well against Acend. In that time, because of the bootcamp, they really learned how to play against NA and EMEA teams but i don't think they learned how to play against APAC because they couldn't adapt to their playstyle and got stomped (or they choked we don't know). At the first iceland Masters they were lost, they had no idea what to do, but now i trully believe they can show a good match for us.
wtf are u even typing??? i stopped reading at "Brazil team that's been overhyped"
EVERY FUCKING TEAM THAT COMES OUT OF KOREA IS OVERHYPED TO THE FUCKING MOON BECAUSE WE LIVE AMONG PARASITIC KOREABOOS WHO GOBBLE KOREAN COCK ALL DAY!!!!
Dont talk about brazil when not a single Korean team that dominates its own region can do anything internationally.
VK beat champs winners
Vikings dam near beat the finalists
keyd lost to champs winners, check your facts
vikings close but no cigar
drx actually beat champs winners LUL and pretty convincingly too
No Koreans are going around hyping DRX to win the whole thing unlike some others I see. Brazil along with Japan have far and away been the worst performing regions. At least Japan doesn't hype their teams up to the moon and send death threats trying to play victim after caught using exploits.
wait no way u tell me to check my facts... Japan JUST had a scandal where they were sending insane death threats not over a game, but over a fucking tier list... u are so out of the loop on that whimsy asian pack.
also, Korea beat acend before they were good enough to win champs
VK beat them in the same week XD
stop huffing asians
you whimsy delusional pre pubescent child
Conveniently forgets all the death threats Brazil sends after they are the ones using exploits. And then plays victim after that.
Korea got 3rd at Reykjavik, drx smashed acend, they statistically performed the best behind gambit stage 3, being the only team to bring a close game and take maps off them after playoffs.
VK beat who you delusional crybaby?
from the little I watched them play, they have top firepower but they have 3 young player who havent played international LAN before so its a coinflip in that department, also they havent been together as a team for that long, I dont expect them to win but at least do good on Iceland, they are clearly the best in Brazil and its not close so I would take these events as experience, they could be a champions contender if they developed nicely but its gonna be hard against EMEA teams for them
There are a Lot of opinions from non Brazilians about Loud.
So this is my true opinion.
They are the Best team we ever had, they are different from all the other Teams because they are a complete team.
They have aim and properly tactics(not super advanced M3C FPX level). They do the basic really well but i don't know How you guys Will be able to punish this style of game because i've never seen this style getting countered in EMEA.
The 5 are top Notch players. With Aspas being the real Super Star in the level of Heat.
ALL players Can clutch and have potential to hit a top 3 in the Future CHAMPIONS, or even Win It.
I don't know How they Will do in Masters but i expect them to get out of Groups to Playoffs and hit Semis.
That's what Can i say RN, they good, but that Just It.
I Love Loud, I love the players and the narrative they have, I’m a huge fan. However, they are fighting a loosing battle. Their Leader Sacy has already shown he might be developing Hiko Syndrome, not to mention our region (BR) has not yet understood how to fully explore Valorants Gameplay. I personally believe that this is due to Brazils Pros having too much CSGO pride to properly adapt. Which leads to regional Vcts with no stimulating challenge, Loud isn’t being challenged by any other BR team which in turn halts their development. KRU has Leviathan, Optic has Guild and others, Etc. Almost every promising region has rival teams, but Loud doesn’t.
Something very incredible but worrying is Louds STRONG adaptive skills, as they basically only have few weeks to train for international events. Which although they lost to KRU and Optic they didn’t go down without a proper fight even though they didn’t have time to train in the international meta.
To summarize my viewpoint; Loud has Champions Winner Potential, but I do not believe they will win because of Brazils Prideful other teams that seam to refuse to evolve.
