LOUD miss their first-ever International VALORANT event after losing to 100 Thieves
LOUD recent experience in the VCT Americas 2024 tournament was nothing short of disappointing, marking their first-ever absence from a international VALORANT event since their inception after being eliminated by 100 Thieves in the Knockout Playoff match.
The journey began terribly for LOUD, with a series of bad performances in the group stage. Failing to display their prowess, they had upsetting defeats but managed to score the needed points to qualify against G2 Esports and Sentinels, recovering a bit of hope through their fanbase.
Their form would get bad again and their aspirations be dashed as they faced 100 Thieves (100T) in a knockout game. In a very one-sided affair, 100T emerged victorious, delivering a crushing blow to LOUD's dreams of advancing further in the tournament.
What is next for LOUD?
The series of events leading to LOUD's elimination raised eyebrows within the esports community, prompting speculation and analysis.
While the team undoubtedly possesses talent and skill, their inability to maintain consistency and adapt to evolving strategies proved to be their Achilles' heel in crucial moments.
The defeat against 100T served as a reminder of the unforgiving nature of competitive esports, where the margin for error is zero.
For LOUD, the disappointment of missing out on their first global VALORANT event since their inception serves as a humbling experience and a catalyst for introspection. As they return to the drawing board, the team must confront their shortcomings head-on, addressing tactical deficiencies and mindset to bounce back stronger in future competitions.
Despite the setback, the journey for LOUD is far from over. With determination and perseverance, they have the opportunity to learn and grow from this experience, emerging as a stronger and more formidable force in the competitive VALORANT scene.
As they regroup and set their sights on future challenges, fans await the next chapter in the unfolding saga of LOUD, hoping for a return to glory on the international stage.
