2023 saw Gustavo "Sacy" Rossi and Bryan "pANcada" Luna part ways with the team; their roles were subsequently filled by Cauan "cauanzin" Pereira and Arthur "tuyz" Andrade.

They exited Masters Tokyo with an 0-2 record before recovering to a third place finish at Champions 2023.
Coming into the 2024 season, LOUD underwent yet another change as Erick "aspas" Santos left the team.
