What changes would you make on LOUD?

If I had to make changes to LOUD, I would start like this:
Coach: Bonkar or Shaw
Right now, I think Bonkar is the best option. MIBR already showed that internationalizing a team can work — and in my opinion, he's by far the best coach available on the market. He’s experienced, strategic, and has the kind of game sense that could elevate the team to another level.
Shaw is also a strong candidate. He’s worked with Lukxo before and is known for his ability to develop talent and build off-meta comps — using meta agents in creative, effective ways. That’s a valuable edge.
Bottom line: both are great options. The decision depends on what LOUD wants to build for the future.
Now the trickier part: changing the roster.
First of all, the big question is: is LOUD actually planning to make changes to the roster?
With that in mind, I’ve outlined two possible scenarios.
- No roster changes
Even without changing players, there are key adjustments that could shift the team's playstyle and improve individual performance.
Tuyz as Tejo, Cauanzin as Initiator Flex
Tuyz performed well as a flex, and what's even more impressive is how much he improved from the Sentinels match to the EG match — all in a short period of time.
On the other hand, Cauanzin seems to be struggling as a Tejo player. He’s always been a strong initiator, playing almost like a duelist — using his skills to support himself and create space.
In my view, moving Cauan back to agents like Breach, KAY/O, Sova, and Fade would be the right call. He'd be back in his comfort zone, and Tuyz would only need to master a single agent — which is definitely easier than learning a whole new role.
- Change in mentality
More than anything tactical, LOUD needs a shift in mentality.
Right now, the team feels like it lacks a winning mindset. STK talked about “doing a barbecue” after a loss — and while I don’t think the problem is a lack of accountability, it’s clear that there’s no strong winning culture.
A coach isn’t on stage controlling the players, but it is his job to teach and enforce protocols — even if it takes some tough love. You need someone who can show the team what to do in a 4v2, how to play an eco round, how to stay locked in.
And that’s what I hope a new coach will bring.
If LOUD does bring in new players:
-
Basic - Cauanzin
I know he's going through a terrible slump right now, but if LOUD is truly aiming to compete at Champions this year, they need to either bring in a star-level player or somehow bring back prime Cauan. But as Lukxo has already shown, there's no such thing as players who need to be "shaped for the stage" — stars are born ready to shine. -
Siduzord - Tuyz
Siduzord has been a solid fragging IGL in Tier 2 for nearly a year, while also playing the Initiator flex role. With him, LOUD could maintain their double-initiator structure throughout the year without needing to drastically change their playbook. It’s a natural fit. -
Sato - Dgzin
I’ll be straight to the point here: Dgzin has performed well since joining LOUD, and I honestly don’t think he needs to be replaced.
However, it looks like he recently broke up with his girlfriend, and — as we saw in the match against EG — it clearly affected his gameplay.
Now, I’m not saying this will keep affecting him for the next three months. Of course not. But just like with Cauan’s slump, we can’t count on things magically getting better overnight.
Again, this is not a call to bench Dgzin. He doesn't deserve that. But if LOUD is planning for results now while also setting the foundation for next year, Sato would be a strong name to consider.
swap the roles of Cauanzin and tuyz. bring in a new coach. Doesn’t need anything else
Basic is extremely overhyped cause his stats were inflated from playing the shittiest teams in the shittiest group of Americas and people only look at stats
people also say shion but i don’t know how you can look at man who’s 31 and say he’s gonna be louds future
