Rumors: star player aspas to leave LOUD after World Championship?

Noted insider Rod Breslau shared new details about changes on the professional Valorant scene. This time, he asserts that aspas will leave LOUD due to conflict with the management.

Recall that a few weeks ago, Rod Breslau gave an interview and made several loud statements. According to him, the current world champions LOUD are now in complete disarray within the team, and after Valorant Champions 2023 they are expecting a series of reshuffles. Later, team captain Saadhak denied these rumors, calling them clickbait. You can read more about it in our article.

But the story doesn't end there. Today, Rod Breslau shared new details about aspas and named his future team. The insider claims that the conflict within LOUD arose because of their duelist and star player - Erick "aspas" Santos, who is considered one of the best players in the modern Valorant scene. According to him, aspas demanded that the management of the organization extend his contract, but also increase his salary, which he was denied. This is the first reason the player is expected to leave the team, and the second lies in the fact that aspas has already received a possible contract from another organization, Sentinels.

Rod stressed that Sentinels are not planning to renew the contract with TenZ, so there is a high chance that he will leave the team after Valorant Champions 2023. The main candidate to replace TenZ, according to him, is aspas, as both players' contracts end in 2023.

I think there's a 90-95% chance TenZ will no longer be a member of the Sentinels from next year. Either from an organizational perspective that they no longer want TenZ, or from TenZ's point of view that he would like to leave and become a full-time content creator or streamer, even try to find options with other teams. And this will leave an open duelist vacancy for someone like aspas, who could potentially join sacy and pANcada next year.

Whether to believe in the rumors or not is up to you. We, in turn, remind you that LOUD has a world championship ahead, and everything depends on it. If the Brazilians perform well, or even win the championship twice in a row, it is highly likely that the team composition will remain unchanged.
