Soon after, the talented squad managed the win the most prestigious event in Valorant which is VCT Champions 2022.

While a lot of people doubted the stories about Aspas leaving LOUD, the rumors became true. The "contract" problems between the star player and the Brazilian org might have come true, and on September 11, Felipe left the team in which he became the monster duelist that he is today.
