It’s such a shame that the Loud and Optic rosters split to different rosters, this rivalry was hands down one of the best in Valorant LAN history.

It's funny that there's a clip of Sacy watching a play from aspas at a time that everyone accused aspas of cheating (obviously he's clean) and Sacy was in VKS. Sacy said:
- Either this guy is hacking or is the best player in the world

[madlinksaga]

A few trivia about Loud:
- Sacy is a former League of Legends pro (even won the local championship). Saadhack came from Paladins. Pancada came from Crossfire. Aspas came from CS:GO. Valorant is Less first professional game.
- After champions 2021, Sacy and Saadhack wanted to create a roster capable of winning champions 2022. That's where "Pancada e Amigos" (Pancada and Friends) came from. They negotiated with a lot of orgs but Loud was the only one willing to sign the whole roster.
- Onur (Kru's coach in 2021 and Leviathan's in 2022) was supposed to be their coach. That didn't work as Onur was forbidden to enter Brazil after refusing to be vaccinated for Covid.
- Aspas was accused of hacking back in CS:GO (there is a whole drama around that) and Sacy even probed him before entering the roster. Afterwards everyone understood that the cheating situation was all BS and he was just that good.
- Less was Onur's recomendation.
- They didn't expect to get that far in Reykjavik. That masters was supposed to be an opportunity to gather experience (mainly for the younger players).
- Loud's first loss was at Reykjavik grand finals.
- Between masters Reykjavik and the next step of vct, they barely had any time to prepare for Copenhagen. They didn't really have many strategies (most of them were well known from Reykjavik) and they were struggling with the mental pressure.
- Loud tought they had a pretty decent Pearl at Champions but after being beaten by Optic in Group Stage they realized that the map had to become their permaban. The issue was that Haven was their permaban at that time, so they made a last minute effort to improve their Haven basing most of it on Leviathan's. Afterwards they beat both Leviathan and DRX who were known to have pretty strong (arguably the best) Havens in the tournament.
- Loud always had bad pistol rounds. They improved that for Champions with help from fRoD (a legend from NA's CS and an old friend of BzkA, Loud's ex-coach).
- They had the strongest Ascent in the world (by numbers) with 95% winrate.

Another sadder bit of trivia that I don't see being mentioned often: During Champions 2021, Saadhak's mother passed away while he was in Berlin playing for Team Vikings. After their championship win in 2022, he dedicated his win to her.

[oranzbowl]

the fact that the 2 arguably best rosters in the world split up is crazy..

[rpolicarpo]

Now VCT Lock In NRG X LOUD was one of the most exciting valorant matches we've ever seen

[Rin-kuzo]

The actual brotherhood they had was insane!! But its good that sacy, saddhak will meet OPTIC members as NRG.

[weeeeeeee]

NEW rivalry has already emerged NRG vs LOUD it is 18-16 Ot final match at VCT 23

[tiagooliveiragouveia]

great video, as a brazilian I am very happy to see this rivalry being recognized by others

[CommendYT]

Hope you guys enjoyed this one! I won't keep making them this long haha

[trutaboladao]

as a brazilian i had to say that i love the respect that both teams have each other, never underrating. Especially the declarations of yay about his rivals.
Sorry my gamer english, im still learning😔

[birdsarentrealbro]

Insane that this video popped onto my timeline after watching NRG vs LLL in Brazil. Insane game, both teams deserved to win. I've always been a fan of the og Envy guys so I was sad to see em lose but Loud definitely deserved it.

[gtcrespo]

The streets won't forget Sacy's Ascent 1hp clutch in OT at the final, LEGENDARY match!! Incredible display of professionalism by both teams! Thanks for the video, what an awesome rivalry!

[levy]

Best storyline in Valorant as of now

Franchising really took away this rivalry

Thank you for this well made video!

[Dark_CW]

pt-BR : Isso foi muito bem feito meu bom, Video muito massa e que faz uma recapitulação de uma rivalidade cravada na história do valorant mundial !
en : That was very well done my good! Very cool video that recaps a rivalry embedded in the history of world valorant!

[OllieBR]

Great video! Incredible editing and story telling. You're really good at this, man. Keep up with the good work!

[fliip]

One thing that most people forget about is that Pancada was a world class player in a less popular FPS called CrossFire, wich was pretty popular in Brazil during the late 2000s and early 2010s. He played in multiple international events while playing CF and even managed to finish 2nd in the 2019 CrossFire Stars tournament. That being said, really well made video, gj :)

[rlphjqn]

Bro your commentary is TOP TIER holy smokes I love videos like this! Keep up the good work bro you just earned yourself a subscriber 🔥💯

[Henras]

Yk, i think that is really good to mention that this first masters was the first international class championship that LOUD played together, and the first one off Aspas and Less.

[anixben]

looking back at the reykjavik match and seeing both marved and pancada on Chamber is quite a sight to see. I completely forgot that OpTic had the same comp but across different players, and Loud just had a different agent comp altogether
