Never was a big fan of latam/Brazil, not that i had the chance to watch any pre franchising, but loud was pretty much the only brazilian team I knew back then (with the exception of keys stars and heat), and was i an active hater, from Reykjavik 22 to champs 22 to lock in to champs 23, i would always root against them just cause they were the teams i knew the least, the lock in crowd , taking 22 champs from fnatic (in my dumbass head atleast) and the other brazilian teams being dog definitely didn't help that hate lol
But now that this legendary core is disbanding, with less and saadhak leaving, aspas already gone and sacy retiring, ican't help but look back and feel just a little sad and nostalgic abt this core
And so i would like to Thank the loud core , for giving us the lock in finals, one of the best rivalries in valorant history in loud v optic/nrg, for being one of the best and most entertaining teams to watch through out 2022 and 2023, and form me personally for opening my mind to Brazilian/LATAM valorant, I hope these guys find success In whatever they do in their futures (also hope pancada can finally show how good of a player he really is)
- respectfully
from a loving brazilian hater
