PTG Database Analysis

VLR identifies DaviH as David Cruz and lists the player on LOUD VALORANT’s roster at VALORANT Champions Shanghai 2026, held from September 24 to October 18. This profile records that competition appearance and does not infer a broader contract period from the event roster.[1][2]

Before joining LOUD, he competed for CGN Esports from November 2023 to October 2025 and returned for a second stint in February 2026. SAW announced him in its 2023 VALORANT lineup, then moved him to its reserve roster after that season’s first seven months. VLR also lists an earlier Arroz affiliation in 2022.[1][5][6]
