LOUD Player Leaves VCT Americas to Join Karmine Corp in Exciting Transfer

<p>Matias ‘Saadhak’ Delipetro, the star captain of VCT Americas, is poised to join VCT EMEA’s Karmine Corp, counter to earlier reports suggesting he would remain in North America with KRÜ Esports.

According to a report by Sheep Esports, Saadhak will be relocating from his home region to KCorp. The Argentinian player is renowned as one of the most accomplished participants in VCT Americas, boasting a Valorant Champions and league trophy on his resume.

In a video released on September 6, the former LOUD captain announced his decision to part ways with the Brazilian organization and consider opportunities in various regions. KRÜ was reportedly the frontrunner for signing Saadhak, with the company’s owner Sergio Agüero interacting with him on social media.

As a former world champion, Saadhak has consistently excelled as an in-game leader (IGL) in both North America and Brazil, securing top four placements with LOUD at Masters Madrid 2024, Valorant Champions 2023, VCT LOCK//IN, and Masters Reykjavík 2022.

Karmine Corp is also reported to have signed Hazem ‘avez’ Khaled, an Egyptian teenager who previously played for NASR esports. The VCT EMEA team is reportedly transitioning away from Martin ‘Magnum’ Peňko as its IGL for 2025, with Saadhak expected to fill that role.

Additionally, the content-creator-owned organization recently benched Ryad ‘Shin’ Ensaad and Tomás ‘tomaszy’ Machado, allowing them to seek opportunities with other teams.

The French esports team aims to enhance its performance following the 2024 season, where its Valorant roster had an impressive start, securing a place in Masters Madrid as the EMEA No. 1 seed, but subsequently fell short of qualifying for additional major tournaments.

With Saadhak’s departure from VCT Americas, alongside veteran stars Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo and Gustavo ‘Sacy’ Rossi retiring, the region is witnessing the exit of its most tenured and celebrated players during this offseason.
