LOUD have released the Counter-Strike 2 roster they reportedly signed earlier this year without ever officially announcing the team. Leonardo “zmb” Toledo and coach Pablo “disturbed” Fernandes confirmed that they are no longer under contract, while the players intend to continue competing together as LP.

According to Dust2 Brasil, LOUD reached an agreement with the lineup in May and supported the team for several months, including covering tournament registration fees and a bootcamp in Portugal.

Players will continue together as LP

zmb announced his departure on X, saying that the roster plans to stay together while searching for another organization. He also remains open to individual offers.

“We will continue playing together as LP and are looking for an organization, but I am also open to individual offers.”

The lineup consists of:

  • Leonardo “zmb” Toledo
  • Leonardo “Leomonster” Enrique
  • Alisson “Alisson” Farias
  • Guilherme “happ” Bento
  • Gustavo “divine” Santicioli
  • Pablo “disturbed” Fernandes — coach

LOUD never officially announced the roster

LOUD reportedly completed the signing of the LP lineup four months ago as the organization prepared to enter Counter-Strike. The organization even published a teaser about its expansion into the game, while the players used references to LOUD on their jerseys, but an official roster announcement never followed.

Despite that, LOUD had already been supporting the project behind the scenes by paying entry fees for several tournaments and financing a bootcamp in Portugal.

The move also comes during a turbulent period for Brazilian esports. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva recently issued a provisional order banning fixed-odds online betting in Brazil, a sector that has become a major source of sponsorship revenue across sports and esports. The measure took immediate effect but still faces congressional and legal scrutiny.

Dust2 Brasil reported that disturbed attributed the roster’s release to the betting ban. Keyd Stars also paused its CS2 division this week, citing changes in the competitive landscape as well as Brazil’s business and regulatory environment.

LP will continue competing

The roster has been playing together for more than five months and has already won CCT South America 1, BetBoom Storm 3 and Circuit X Recife.

More recently, LP finished 5th–8th at Roman Imperium Cup VIII, HyperX Retake Season 12 and LeonBet Masters Season 1.

The players will now return to competing independently while looking for a new organization. Their next confirmed appearance is Circuit X Curitiba 3.
