The French organization Team Vitality has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with former world champion, Brazilian player Felipe "Less" Basso, who is currently representing LOUD.
Less Not in Peak Form
Currently, Felipe "Less" Basso is not performing at his best. His 2023 form pales in comparison to his 2022 performances, when he led LOUD to victory at Valorant Champions 2022, securing the world champion title. One possible explanation for his decline could be that LOUD's core lineup has exhausted its potential, and a lack of fresh perspectives may have negatively impacted the team's results. Less’s achievements this year have been notably less impressive.

Final Stage of Negotiations
According to a report by Sheep Esports, the deal between Team Vitality and LOUD regarding the transfer of Less is in its final stages. The organization and the player have already reached a verbal agreement, with only formalities and contract signing remaining.
Conclusion
If the rumors and the deal are confirmed, this would be a fresh start and a significant step in Less's career, as he has only played for Brazilian teams so far. While this transition comes with potential risks for both parties, it could result in new achievements for both Less and Team Vitality if expectations are met.
