LOUD is moving support player Matheus “uZent” Ferreira from RED Canids Academy into its League of Legends roster, replacing Ygor “RedBert” Freitas for CBLOL 2026 Split 1. (maisesports.com.br) Mais Esports reported on April 20 that LOUD had advanced the buyout and planned to start uZent against FURIA on Sunday, April 26, after the team’s 1-2 loss to LEVIATÁN. The report said uZent was signed from RED Canids Academy, not from free agency. (maisesports.com.br) uZent is a 20-year-old Brazilian support whose Leaguepedia profile lists him under RED Academy through 2026 and shows earlier stops with LOUD Trainee and FURIA Academy. That makes the move a return to LOUD’s system after more than two years away. (lol.fandom.com) The timing lines up with a rough stretch for LOUD in Split 1. Riot’s LoL Esports site showed LOUD’s upcoming match against FURIA, while player pages logged recent losses to RED Canids on March 28, Fluxo W7M on April 14, and LEVIATÁN on April 19. (lolesports.com) (liquipedia.net) LOUD entered 2026 as Brazil’s First Stand representative after winning the CBLOL Cup, but its current Split 1 lineup has already changed shape. Riot’s First Stand primer listed LOUD as Brazil’s qualified team in March, while current team pages show a roster built around Xyno, YoungJae, Envy, Mago, Bull and, for now, RedBert. (lolesports.com 1) (lolesports.com 2) The transfer also fits a broader pattern in Brazil’s League of Legends market, where LOUD has repeatedly bought talent from RED Canids. Sheep Esports reported in November that LOUD reached an agreement to sign mid laner Jean “Mago” Dias from RED, and noted that move also required a purchase because he was still under contract. (sheepesports.com) For RED Canids, the move cuts into a pipeline that had been feeding prospects upward. Mais Esports reported last month that RED had considered promoting uZent to its own main roster for 2026 before other plans kept him in academy. (maisesports.com.br) If LOUD fields uZent on April 26, the team will be betting that an academy support can steady a roster still chasing playoff position in a split that runs through June 6. Riot’s tournament pages list CBLOL 2026 Split 1 from March 28 to June 6, with the regular season still in progress. (liquipedia.net) (lolesports.com)
