aspas set to leave Leviatán after reportedly butting heads with management

As a long-time follower and admirer of Valorant, I must say that the news about Aspas leaving Leviatán has left me both intrigued and saddened. Having witnessed his incredible performance at Valorant Champions 2022 and his subsequent MVP win in the 2024 VCT season, it’s clear that he is one of the most talented players in the game today.


It’s said that Valorant standout Aspas is planning to depart from Leviatán, as he’s currently engaged in talks with other teams following disagreements with the Argentinean organization’s leadership.

According to a report by Bruno Povoleri, the Brazilian Duelist and Valorant Champions 2022 winner expressed dissatisfaction because he felt he wasn’t given enough input in decisions regarding Leviatán’s roster and coaching staff for both the past and future.

It’s said that the player was tough to satisfy, and he often had input in the team’s personnel choices. There were reported disagreements between the team leadership and the coach halfway through the season. (Paraphrased)

Originally, the Brazilian had desired his previous colleague, fRoD, for the position, but ultimately, the organization promoted Itopata to the head coaching role and hired Juv3nile as an assistant instead.

It’s possible that Aspas might remain with the VCT Americas team if opportunities on the open market suit him, however, as per a report from VSpace, it appears he’s already negotiating with other teams for the 2025 season.

The speed at which the player can sign a new contract is being delayed due to negotiations about his current team’s termination clause, as he signed with Leviatán through 2025 last offseason. There’s a possibility that he may be unable to leave the team despite his desire to do so, finding himself essentially “imprisoned” by the contract.

The player is currently one of the most sought-after talents this offseason, having guided numerous teams to significant tournament runs in major competitions. He played a pivotal role in Leviatán’s victory at VCT Americas Stage 2 and their third-place finish at Valorant Champions 2024. Furthermore, he was awarded the MVP title for the 2024 VCT season.

Well, let me tell ya, grabbing Aspas for my VCT team ain’t gonna come cheap. His impressive track record means he’s bound to demand a hefty paycheck, and there might be a substantial termination fee if things don’t work out. So, it’s not a decision to make lightly!

Currently, no teams are rumored to be associated with Aspas, but given his desire for international play, it’s possible that he could follow in the footsteps of his former teammate Saadhak from VCT Americas or replicate yay’s move to VCT Pacific with Bleed. Such a shift is not inconceivable.
