VALORANT player
aspas: a world title at eighteen, then another region to conquer
aspas won VALORANT Champions at eighteen as the star duelist of LOUD's 2022 roster, and has been in the conversation for best player in the world every season since. He is the defining figure of Brazilian VALORANT and, unusually for a player of his profile, has only ever played for two top-level organisations.
The second, Leviatán, is where he proved the first was not a fluke — an Argentinian-founded team that became a title contender after he arrived.

Istanbul 2022
LOUD reached both Masters finals that year and lost them, then won Champions in Istanbul with aspas, Less, Sacy, pANcada and saadhak. It remains the most-watched VALORANT match in Brazil and the result that made the Americas league commercially inevitable.
The Leviatán move
Moving in 2024 turned him from a national icon into a regional one: Leviatán had never been a serious contender, and he took them into the global title picture. In line-up rounds the two logos are enough to date any roster he appears on — LOUD means 2022 or 2023, Leviatán means 2024 onwards.
