LOUD clinched the trophy despite finishing second in the Grand Finals standings, while Los Grandes ended as the only team to surpass 200 points. LOUD’s title run was crucial to the event breaking the 200,000 PV mark, as the organization remains one of Brazil’s most popular esports brands and consistently attracts strong audience numbers in high-stakes matches.
