their group (A) consists of:
FURIA
Gamelanders
Los Grandes
Stars Horizon
this will be their first time playing officialy agaisnt FURIA (and qck is fully recovered + they're scrimming), a really good match
its crazy brazil has a super team, i mean salaries arent that low right? like fps culture in brazil is huge, theres a ton of talent and salaries should be high especially for sacy whos been the best brazilian player internationally. theres no reason loud should stay top rated. despite what na and eu fanboys say brazil is not a minor region bc theres so much talent and so many orgs there.
Just to complete what you said about Aspas and Less, Aspas had a bad reputation due to accusations of cheating while playing CSGO, and it took him a while to prove himself an extremely skilled player. And about Less, as Coreano (streamer) said, at the beginning of valorant he was very toxic plus his age, so he couldn't compete before.
Bro.
Loud is a rich org even in a international standarts..they don't take any prize from the tournaments (it's all for the players) and they pay the highest salaries in val.
Keyd, furia, nip and mibr could compete with them but yhey management is really bad..sometimes i think they don't know what they are doing.
The others organizations are small.
The owner of Havan Liberty is a bilionare (u$) but i don't think they invest a lot in his e-sport team.
