LOUD finalize roster with cauanzin and tuyz signing

With Bryan "pANcada" Luna and Gustavo "Sacy" Rossi being out of the roster, there were two empty spots on the team for VCT 2023 as the Brazilian team had managed to earn themselves a spot in the Riot partner program and become one of ten team teams in the Americas league. To fill these spots for the upcoming VCT 2023 season, LOUD decided to sign Cauan "cauanzin" Pereira and Arthur "tuyz" Vieira to their roster.

Coming into 2022, no one was familiar with a Brazilian team named LOUD because the organization hadn’t made the entry in the Valorant scene yet. However, a week before the start of VCT 2022 - Brazil - Stage 1 - Main Event, they announced the signing of their roster which had competed in the Open and Closed qualifiers under the Pancada e amigos name. From the first tournament they ever participated in, their dominance in the region became apparent as they won Stage 1 Main Event without dropping a single map against the likes of NIP, Vivo Keyd and FURIA and then subsequently found themselves at the Grand Finals of VCT 2022 - Stage 1 - Masters Reykjavík outplaying the biggest names on the international stage.

They continued their exceptional performance in regional tournaments staying undefeated throughout all stages, and ultimately earned a spot at VCT 2022 - Champions Istanbul through consecutive Masters Qualifications. After a successful Upper Bracket run, LOUD reached the Grand Finals against LOUD, which witnessed approximately 1.6 million people from around the world tuning in to watch the Brazilians lift their first international trophy on the biggest stage in competitive Valorant.

Arthur "tuyz" Vieira was previously a member of the TBK Esports roster contributing to their success in VCT 2022. After qualifying for the initial tournament, they made it through the Group Stages and finished 5th-6th, earning them a spot at the subsequent stage’s Main Event but that attempt didn’t produce substantial results either since they finished 7th-8th. However, they were able to get one more opportunity at qualifying for VCT 2022 - Champions Istanbul through the Last Chance Qualifiers but they fell short by a few matches and had to settle for a 3rd place. Tuyz maintained a 1.04 Rating throughout VCT noticeably playing on Jett and Chamber.

On the other hand, Cauan "cauanzin" Pereira was a member of Ninjas in Pyjamas which boasted a pretty good record during VCT 2023 even managing a spot at the season’s first LAN VCT 2022 - Stage 1 - Masters Reykjavík. Their Stage 2 run is also worthy of praise since they missed out on Masters Copenhagen simply due to a loss at VCT 2022 - Stage 2 - Challengers - South America Playoff. Their shot at the Champions event was also rendered futile in the Last Chance Qualifiers by Vivo Keyd. However, he was able to place himself amongst the top 5 players at the event gaining the attention of several teams in the region. With NiP not being selected into the Riot Partner Program, the roster was let go and so was cauanzin, a Sova main, with a 1.07 Rating on 212.7 ACS.

With this announcement, LOUD’s roster is as follows:
