LOUD Esports took to X to announce the news of pANcada signing with the organization. The post featured a video of the player signing for the organization.

pANcada became a substitute on the Sentinels team early in 2024. On March 7, 2024, he was declared an inactive member of the team. The player was neither a part of the roster that won the VCT Masters Madrid, nor was he involved in the team's recent run at the VCT Americas Stage 1.

"Finally home, with a different mindset than when I left, but with the same goals: putting my name and LOUD at the top of VALORANT once again. I thank you for your support during this period and I make it clear that I will spare no effort to make this happen." (Translated from Portuguese)

Now, pANcada will be a part of the LOUD Esports roster that will compete at VCT Americas Stage 2 to secure a place at VCT Champions Seoul 2024. Stage 2 begins on June 22, 2024.
