Saadhak to become LOUD new duelist

Last month, LOUD made waves in the competitive Valorant scene when they announced a major shakeup to their roster. With the high-profile departure of their star player qck, the organization has now revealed that Saadhak, the team’s long-time captain and in-game leader, will be transitioning into the duelist role starting in the next competitive season.

This is a bold move that has piqued the interest of fans and analysts alike. Saadhak has long been regarded as one of the more cerebral and tactically-minded players in the Latin American region, known for his ability to lead his team and set them up for success through his intelligent decision-making and keen strategic mind. However, the decision to have him step away from the coveted IGL position and instead take on a more aggressive, entry-fragging role is certainly a surprising one that has left many wondering whether he has the individual mechanical skills and raw firepower to thrive in such a demanding role.

It will be fascinating to see how Saadhak is able to adapt to this new playstyle and whether he is able to maintain the same level of impact and influence on the map that he had previously demonstrated as the team’s shot-caller. The LOUD faithful will be eagerly awaiting the start of the next season to see if this gamble pays off and helps propel the team to new heights in the highly competitive Latin American Valorant landscape. Many are curious to see if Saadhak can successfully make the transition from being the brain of the operation to becoming the tip of the spear, and whether this bold roster move proves to be a masterstroke or a potentially damaging misstep for the organization.

The Rise of Saadhak, LOUD’s New Duelist

Hey everyone, I’ve got some exciting news to share – as you may have already heard, I’ll be taking on the role of LOUD’s new duelist starting next season! It’s definitely a big change for me, but I’m really looking forward to it and I’ll be giving it my all. In the past, I’ve primarily played as a sentinel, focusing more on support and utility roles to help the team. But in this new lineup, I’ll be stepping into a much more aggressive, entry-fragging position. You might have seen the video that’s been going around where I’m practicing on Neon – that’s just a glimpse of the playstyle you can expect from me going forward. Our head coach, peu, said that this transition actually makes a lot of sense for me. He mentioned that the duelist meta is evolving, and given my skills on agents like Neon, he thinks I’m really well-suited for this change. Apparently, I’ve been itching to be more of a playmaker and get in the thick of the action, so this is kind of a dream role for me. Personally, I’m really excited about this new challenge. In the past, I’ve often hung back and let the duelists do their thing, but now I’ll be the one leading the charge. I’m going to be full-sending it every round, hunting for those opening picks and trying to create space for the rest of the team. It’s going to be a big adjustment, but I can’t wait to show you all what I can do.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this update and let you all know that I’ll be counting on your continued support as I take on this new role. It’s going to be a wild ride, but I’m ready for it. Let’s go, LOUD! Now, I know a lot of you are probably wondering, “Why the sudden change? Wasn’t Saadhak one of the best IGL’s in the region?” And that’s a fair question. The truth is, this decision wasn’t made lightly. Our coaching staff and I have been discussing this possibility for a while, ever since the departure of qck left a hole in our roster. You see, when qck was on the team, he was our primary duelist and entry fragger. And he was damn good at it too – his raw mechanical skill and aggressive playstyle were a huge part of what made LOUD so successful. But with him gone, we needed to find a new way to fill that void. And after a lot of careful consideration, we landed on me as the best candidate.

Now, I know what you’re thinking – “Saadhak, an IGL, as the new duelist? Isn’t that a huge risk?” And you’re absolutely right, it is a risk. But hear me out. I may have excelled as an in-game leader in the past, but the truth is, I’ve always had that same aggressive, playmaking mentality deep down. I just hadn’t had the chance to fully unleash it until now. Think about it – as an IGL, I’ve built up an extensive knowledge of the game, the maps, the timings, the rotations, all of it. And I’ve used that information to put my teammates in the best position to succeed. But now, I get to take that same game sense and decision-making, and apply it directly to my own individual performance. I’ll be the one making those split-second calls, the one taking those first contact fights, the one setting the pace for the rest of the team. And let’s not forget, I’ve always been a skilled mechanical player in my own right. Even when I was IGL, I could still hold my own in aim duels and make plays happen. Now, with my full focus and attention on my individual performance, I really believe I can take my game to the next level. The coaching staff sees it, and more importantly, I see it too.

Of course, I know it won’t be an easy transition. There’s a lot for me to learn and adapt to. The role of a duelist requires a completely different mindset and skillset than what I’m used to. I’ll need to work on my movement, my crosshair placement, my ability to capitalize on openings and create space for my team. But I’m ready for the challenge. I’ve been grinding in the practice server, putting in the time to sharpen those mechanicals skills and fine-tune my duelist gameplay. And I’m not just doing it for myself. I’m doing it for the team, for the organization, and for all of you, the LOUD faithful. This roster change is a big gamble, I know that. But I’m confident that I can make it work. I’m confident that I can step up and fill that void left by qck’s departure. And I’m confident that together, we can take LOUD to even greater heights than before. So please, stick with me on this journey. I know it might be weird to see me playing a different role, to see me stepping out from behind the IGL position. But I promise you, I’m going to give it my all. I’m going to leave it all out on the server, every single game. And I truly believe that with your continued support and belief in me, I can become the star duelist that this team needs.

The road ahead won’t be easy, but I’m ready to embrace the challenge. LOUD has always been a team built on resilience, on adapting to adversity, and on defying expectations. And that’s exactly what I plan to do. So get ready, because Saadhak the duelist is about to make his debut. Let’s make some noise, LOUD family!
