VALORANT’s ‘second-place curse’ strikes again as LOUD bomb out of VCT Masters Tokyo

LOUD’s early exit from VCT Masters Tokyo, merely a couple months away from VALORANT Champions 2023 and just after they claimed the VCT Americas trophy, perhaps isn’t as stunning when you consider that every team that has finished second at an international event has experienced a major setback soon after.

On the one hand, LOUD had an unfortunate draw, having to play not one but two teams destined to make magical runs at Masters Tokyo, the rising Chinese roster of EDward Gaming and the shockingly unstoppable Evil Geniuses. On the other, it is equally shocking to see the LOUD roster that looked so dominant in VCT LOCK//IN and the Americas season fall flat in Tokyo, losing two series without picking up a single map.
