At the ongoing VCT Americas 2024 Stage 1 tournament in Los Angeles, the Brazilian team LOUD lost their first match. In a match against NRG, they lost 0-2, starting the competition with an unpleasant start. In an interview with Mais Esports, one of the team's players, tuyz, shared his thoughts on the current situation.
LOUD previous success at the VCT 2024 Masters Madrid tournament, where they finished 4th, was overshadowed by the visa denial for their trip to the USA. This forced the team to stay in Northern Ireland and arrive at the competition venue just a day before the matches began.
Unable to conduct full-fledged training sessions, LOUD suffered a defeat against NRG with a score of 0-2, especially noticeable on the second map, Sunset, which they lost 2-13. In an interview after the match, tuyz was asked about the impact of visa issues on their difficulties in the latest performance.
I don't want this to sound like an excuse, but since I only picked up the mouse before the match. We arrived really tired, and I think spending nearly 20 days without training is really bad. It had a negative impact on both me personally and the team.
