Matias “Saadhak” Delipetro, the in-game leader for LOUD, the VALORANT Champions 2022 winners, has confirmed that he is in early discussions with NRG, a North American team. While nothing has been finalized yet, Saadhak described the talks as a form of networking and assured his fans that he is focused on leaving LOUD in a good state.
A recent screenshot from NRG coach Chet’s stream revealed the conversation between him and Saadhak, sparking speculation among fans. In response, Saadhak admitted to the discussion, emphasizing that it is a common practice in esports and similar to business networking. He urged his fans not to worry as no decisions have been made.
During his stream, Saadhak expressed confidence in his ability to develop LOUD’s young talent, Felipe “Less” Basso, into an in-game leader, regardless of his own future. He stated that he believes he has done a great job and is prepared for any potential changes.
NRG is not the only organization interested in Saadhak, according to Brazilian VALORANT insider Noyn. Other teams outside of Brazil are reportedly in talks with the talented player. If Saadhak were to leave LOUD, it would mark another significant departure from the world championship roster, following pANcada and Sacy’s move to Sentinels last offseason.
If Saadhak joins NRG, it would be a major shift for the team, which is already undergoing significant changes this offseason. Sam “s0m” Oh and Pujan “FNS” Mehta have publicly announced their departure from the active roster, and Ardis “ardiis” Svarenieks may also be leaving.
Overall, Saadhak’s potential move to NRG represents a significant shakeup for both teams and highlights the growing interest in Brazilian VALORANT talent from North American organizations.
