Aspas rumored to join opposing South American VALORANT team in 2024

Brazilian Duelist aspas Reportedly Joins Argentinian Team Leviatán for VALORANT Champions Tour 2024

One of the biggest free agents in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023-24 offseason appears to have found a new team. Erick “aspas” Santos, a star Brazilian duelist, has reportedly agreed to terms with Argentinian team Leviatán for the 2024 VCT season, according to a report from blix.gg. This is a significant move for Leviatán, as they add the former Champions final MVP and regional MVP to their roster.

Loud’s Successful 2023 Season and the Importance of Retaining aspas

Loud remained a top team in their region throughout the 2023 season, even after losing two members of their winning roster from 2022. The addition of Cauan “cauanzin” Pereira and Arthur “tuyz” Vieira during the offseason helped bolster the team. However, keeping aspas on the team was crucial for their success. He was one of the best talents in all leagues, particularly on Jett. Despite some international setbacks, aspas ended the year as Americas MVP before entering free agency.

The Unique Skills of aspas and the Potential Impact on Leviatán

The analysis of aspas’ gameplay highlights his exceptional aim, Operator skills, and Jett’s movement abilities, which set him apart from other Jett players in the competitive scene. His versatility with Raze further solidifies his position as one of the top five duelists. Despite the nerfs to Jett in the offseason, acquiring a talent like aspas is a rare opportunity for any team in the free agent market.

For Leviatán, adding aspas to their roster is a significant improvement compared to their previous lineup. The 2023 season was marked by inconsistency, relying heavily on the performance of their star players Tacolilla and Francisco “kiNgg” Aravena. With Tacolilla gone, aspas fills the duelist role and brings consistency and the ability to play Raze at a high level. This should contribute to overall team performance and potentially elevate the team’s standing.

The Transition for aspas and Exciting Potential Ahead

As aspas joins his new teammates at Leviatán, he will experience an entirely new environment. However, the move is not too far from his previous team, LOUD. It will be exciting to see how aspas integrates into the new roster and the impact he will have on Leviatán’s performance in the upcoming VALORANT Champions Tour 2024.
