We have never felt pressure for victory, even in any other situation we've been through, and we've experienced much worse situations. I don't think such pressure has ever been on us. We will prepare just like any other team, primarily analyzing our mistakes, and it will be a good game.

TuyZ told VALORANT Zone journalists.

In a few days (April 24th), we will see LOUD in a showdown with KRÜ Esports in a match closing the third week of the group stage of VCT 2024: Americas Stage 1. Can the Brazilian club break the streak of defeats and secure their first victory in the tournament? Follow along with us on Bo3.
