LOUD Sweeps NRG to Win VCT 2023 Americas League, Saadhak Named MVP
A champion run from start to finish. 👑
The last remaining regional tournament, VCT 2023 Americas League, has concluded after more than two months of intense action as LOUD took on NRG in a best-of-five grand final. Unfortunately, the match was only three maps long as the Brazilian organization took down North America's finest without breaking a sweat.
The 26-year-old from Argentina, Matias "saadhak" Delipetro, was named as MVP of the grand finals for his consistent performance across all games. On the other hand, Pujan "FNS" Mehta was a bit of a liability for NRG with his strikingly underwhelming performance.
LOUD dominates NRG to win the VCT 2023 Americas League
Unlike the grand finals of the other two Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) leagues, VCT 2023 Pacific League and VCT 2023 EMEA League, which were exciting and offered massive upsets, the match between LOUD and NRG was comparatively mellow and straightforward.
LOUD finished the playoffs with seven map wins and just one loss, lifting the trophy as the deserved champion of the region and proving once again that it is the best that Americas has to offer.
Ascent - LOUD defeats NRG on its map pick with a 13-9 scoreline
Bind - NRG lose to LOUD on its map pick with a 13-11 scoreline
Fracture - LOUD defeats NRG on its map pick with a 13-11 scoreline
Lotus - Series did not reach NRG's second map pick
Haven - Series did not reach the decider map
An impressive performance by saadhak as he performed consistently for his team to win three maps in a row. He was named the MVP for his effort in registering an overall K/D/A of 54/45/23 and an ACS (Average Combat Score) of 228.
The other players on LOUD also kept pace with him, playing their respective roles to perfection and not giving an inch to NRG without putting up a fight.
