Erick “aspas” Santos is the most decorated Duelist player in Valorant history and widely considered the best Brazilian player the game has ever produced. Born on June 15, 2003, in Brazil, aspas is 22 years old in 2026 — and in a career that began in the unpaid free agent scene in 2021, he has already won a Valorant Champions title, been named VCT Americas MVP, set the all-time record for kills in a single VCT map, and won the Global MVP award at the TenZ VALORANT Community Awards 2025. He currently plays for MIBR, the legendary Brazilian esports organization that gave the world some of Counter-Strike’s most celebrated lineups and is now staking its Valorant ambitions on the player who just won them their first international Champions trophy.
His settings — built around a low eDPI of 400, a minimal white inner-line crosshair, and full-low graphics — are among the most copied in Valorant. This guide covers everything: his complete verified settings, full career timeline, current team situation, and how he compares to the world’s other elite Duelists.
Who Is Aspas?

Aspas Valorant Team — MIBR
Aspas joined MIBR — Made in Brazil — in November 2024, completing the kind of signing that the Brazilian esports community had dreamed about for years. MIBR is one of the most historically significant esports organizations in the world, founded in the Counter-Strike era and representing the pinnacle of Brazilian competitive gaming culture. Bringing aspas — the face of Brazilian Valorant — into a team that carries that legacy created immediate expectations for international success.
MIBR’s 2026 Valorant season has been competitive. The team reached the VCT 2026 Americas Stage 1 Playoffs, where they won the upper bracket semifinal against Leviatán before falling to 100 Thieves in the upper bracket final and then losing a lower bracket round match. At the EWC 2026 Americas Qualifier Stage 2 in May 2026, MIBR beat KRÜ Esports in the quarterfinals and then defeated Leviatán in the upper bracket semifinal, demonstrating the team’s capacity for big wins while still searching for consistent deep tournament runs.
The team aspas joined at MIBR gave him a competitive structure that suited his Duelist playstyle — teammates capable of setting up his entry frags and cleaning up after his aggressive opening moves. His partnership with the Brazilian roster represents a return to the kind of cultural cohesion he enjoyed during his best years at LOUD, where playing with countrymen who shared his communication style and strategic instincts produced the Champions 2022 win.
Aspas Valorant Settings — Complete Verified List
Mouse Settings
Aspas’s current mouse settings, verified from specs.gg as of June 2026, represent a shift from the slightly higher sensitivities he ran in earlier career stages. He now plays at 800 DPI and 0.5 in-game sensitivity, giving him an effective DPI (eDPI) of 400. This makes him a low-sensitivity player — the average professional Valorant Duelist runs between 250 and 350 eDPI, putting aspas at the slightly higher end of the low-sensitivity range.
For a Duelist whose role demands explosive entry fragging and rapid multi-angle tracking, 400 eDPI represents a deliberate balance. His eDPI is high enough to make quick micro-adjustments during close-range duels, but low enough to maintain precise crosshair placement on distant targets. At 400 eDPI, aspas needs approximately 22.5 cm of mouse movement to complete a full 360-degree turn — arm-movement territory rather than wrist-flick gaming, which rewards players who have built their mechanics around controlled arm movements over years of high-level play.
His polling rate is 4000Hz — a high-performance setting made possible by the Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2, which supports the higher polling rate available in its 2026 firmware. Higher polling rates reduce input lag and smooth out mouse tracking between positional samples. His Windows sensitivity is set to 6 and raw input is enabled.
| Mouse Setting | Value |

| DPI | 800 |
| In-Game Sensitivity | 0.5 |
| eDPI | 400 |
| Polling Rate | 4000Hz |
| Windows Sensitivity | 6 |
| Scope Sensitivity | 1 |
| Mouse Model | Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 White |
Crosshair Settings and Code
Aspas uses a white inner-line crosshair with no center dot, no outlines, and no outer lines — one of the cleanest possible visual configurations in Valorant’s crosshair system. The white color provides maximum contrast against virtually every map environment in the game, while the short inner lines with no gap create a small, tight aim point that stays visible without cluttering the center of his screen.
The configuration with movement error off and firing error off means his crosshair stays static regardless of whether he is moving or shooting — it does not expand during spray or shrink when standing still. For a Duelist who often needs to take fights while in motion, a static crosshair that accurately represents his chosen aim point without visual noise from dynamic expansion is a deliberate, practical choice.

Video Settings
Aspas plays on 1920×1080 resolution at full HD — unlike many professional players who prefer stretched 4:3 resolutions borrowed from CS2, aspas runs native 16:9, which provides cleaner peripheral vision and sharper visual detail at the cost of slightly narrower player model presentation. His graphics settings are entirely on low across every category to maximize frame rates on his 360Hz monitor.

| Mouse | Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 White |
| Mousepad | Logitech G640 XL |
| Monitor | 360Hz (exact model not publicly confirmed) |

The Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 is one of the most popular mice among professional Valorant players, prized for its weight of approximately 63 grams and its HERO 25K sensor. The XL mousepad provides the large surface area that a 400 eDPI player requires — at that sensitivity level, a small mousepad creates physical constraints during aggressive multi-angle sweeps, and the G640 XL’s surface provides both the grip and glide balance that suits aspas’s arm-movement style.
Career Timeline — From favela aimmers to World Champion
2021: The Beginning
Aspas’s competitive career began in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive under the tag aspa$ for g3nerationX, before a ban on the Brazilian Gamers Club platform in August 2019 effectively ended that path. When Valorant launched in 2020, aspas saw the opportunity that many former CS players recognized — a chance to rebuild competitive standing in a new game without the baggage of platform bans from the CS ecosystem.
His Valorant journey started in early 2021 with aim hor$e, then with the free agent group known as favela aimmers — the team name that has since become part of Brazilian Valorant folklore, a self-aware reference to the players’ origins. The group was picked up by SLICK, giving aspas his first formal organization. The initial results were modest, but the mechanical talent was obvious enough that LOUD took notice.
2022: LOUD and the World Championship
In February 2022, aspas was signed by LOUD alongside Bryan “pANcada” Luna, Gustavo “Sacy” Rossi, Matias “Saadhak” Delipetro, and Felipe “Less” Basso — a roster that had previously competed together as Pancada e Amigos before LOUD’s acquisition. The team qualified for VCT Stage 1, then built momentum through the year’s competitive calendar.
The defining moment came at Valorant Champions 2022 in Istanbul. LOUD navigated a demanding bracket to reach the grand final against OpTic Gaming — the North American powerhouse that had dominated the Americas region for the year. LOUD defeated OpTic 3-1, with aspas delivering performances that established him as the tournament’s most dangerous Duelist. The victory made LOUD the first Brazilian team to win a global Valorant championship, and aspas was awarded Best Player of VALORANT in 2022 by Prêmio eSports Brasil alongside Best Athlete of the Year in the country’s leading esports awards.
2023: The Dominant Individual Season
If 2022 was aspas’s breakthrough, 2023 was his statement year as the most statistically dominant player in Valorant globally. He was named VCT Americas MVP for the entire 2023 season by Riot Games. He led the VCT Americas league in kills and finished with the highest average combat score of any player in the competition. In November 2023, he set the all-time record for kills in a single VCT map with 47 — a record that prompted a specific Riot Games social media post acknowledging the achievement.
Despite this individual excellence, LOUD did not win Champions 2023. The team finished third — close but not close enough — in a result that left aspas and the roster evaluating their futures. In September 2023, aspas announced that his contract with LOUD had expired and he would be exploring free agency. Within a month he had signed with Leviatán, the Chilean organization, for the 2024 season.
2024: Leviatán and MIBR
The Leviatán period was competitive — a third-place finish at Champions 2024 demonstrated that aspas’s individual quality translated across team environments — but by November 2024 he had made the decision to join MIBR, completing one of the most anticipated signings in Brazilian Valorant history.
The TenZ VALORANT Community Awards 2025, announced in February 2026, gave aspas the Global MVP recognition for his 2025 season — an award voted on by the Valorant community that reflected the player’s enduring status as the sport’s most celebrated individual performer.
2026: MIBR’s International Ambitions
Aspas’s 2026 season with MIBR has featured appearances at VCT 2026 Americas Stage 1 and the EWC 2026 Americas Qualifier. The team’s performances have been promising without yet delivering the deep international run that would complete the narrative arc of Brazil’s greatest Valorant player joining Brazil’s most legendary esports organization. The EWC 2026 Qualifier run — beating KRÜ Esports and Leviatán in successive matches in late May 2026 — showed MIBR’s ceiling when aspas is performing at his best.
Aspas’s Achievements and Individual Records
The statistical case for aspas as the greatest Duelist in Valorant history is built from a specific set of records that are worth stating directly.
He won Valorant Champions 2022 — the most prestigious trophy in the game — as the primary carry of a Brazilian roster. He was named VCT Americas MVP for 2023, the highest individual recognition the VCT regional system awards. He led VCT 2023 in total kills across the entire Americas region. He holds the all-time record for kills in a single VCT map at 47. He won the Global MVP award at the TenZ VALORANT Community Awards 2025 — a community-voted recognition of overall Valorant excellence. His career prize money exceeds $263,000, accumulated across 30+ tournaments at the highest level of Valorant competition.
He was ranked the 7th best player in Brazil in 2021, the best player in Brazil in 2022 and again in 2024, and was recognized by Riot Games’ own VCT data drops as the leader in multi-kills and highest combat score across the Americas region in 2023.
Aspas vs. Other Top Valorant Duelists
The conversation about the world’s best Duelists in Valorant’s professional scene inevitably centers on aspas — and comparing him directly to his most cited rivals clarifies what specifically makes his profile exceptional.
| Player | Team | Region | eDPI | Main Agents | Career Highlight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aspas | MIBR | Americas | 400 | Jett, Neon | Champions 2022, VCT AMER MVP 2023 |
| TenZ | Cloud9 | Americas | 320 | Jett, Reyna | Champions 2021 |
| Demon1 | EG | Americas | ~280 | Neon, Jett | VCT AMER Stage 1 MVP 2023 |
| Zekken | Sentinels | Americas | ~385 | Neon, Jett | Deep run 2024 |
| Yay | Inactive | Americas | ~280 | Chamber, Jett | Multiple MVPs 2022 |
TenZ won Champions 2021 — the first Valorant World Championship — and remains one of the most recognizable names in the game’s history, but his statistical consistency across extended tournament runs has been more variable than aspas’s. Aspas’s ability to maintain elite statistical output across multiple different team environments — LOUD, Leviatán, and MIBR — while TenZ’s peak performances have been more tied to specific team contexts, is frequently cited as the key argument for aspas’s superiority as a pure Duelist.
Demon1’s emergence in 2023 created a genuine rival narrative — the VCT AMER Stage 1 MVP vs. the region’s overall season MVP — but aspas’s career achievements across Champions-level competition give him a lead in the argument that counts most.
Social Media and Online Presence
Aspas streams regularly on Twitch at twitch.tv/aspaszin and is active on Twitter/X at @aspaszin. His Twitch streams attract tens of thousands of concurrent viewers during active play sessions, and his YouTube channel — launched in August 2021 — has accumulated over 410,000 subscribers with highlight content and competitive analysis that serves both his Brazilian fan base and the international Valorant community.
His social media presence reflects his status as Brazil’s most celebrated Valorant athlete — a player who represents not just his own competitive success but the Brazilian esports community’s claim to Valorant’s highest tier. His Champions 2022 trophy content, career retrospectives, and in-match highlight clips generate consistent engagement that extends well beyond dedicated Valorant fans into the broader Brazilian sports and entertainment audience.

Conclusion
Aspas’s story is one of the most compelling in competitive gaming — a player from a free agent team called favela aimmers who reached the top of the world’s most watched tactical shooter through a combination of mechanical brilliance, aggressive playstyle, and an ability to deliver in the biggest moments. The Champions 2022 trophy with LOUD, the VCT Americas MVP award, the all-time kills record in a single VCT map — these are not soft achievements. They are the hardest available benchmarks in Valorant’s competitive ecosystem, and aspas’s name appears at the top of each one.
His settings tell the story of how he plays: 400 eDPI for precise arm-controlled tracking, white inner-line crosshair for maximum visibility without distraction, all graphics on low for the smoothest possible frame rate on a 360Hz monitor. Every choice is built for competitive performance rather than visual showcase, and every choice has been refined through years at the absolute peak of professional Valorant.
At 22, aspas is still several years from his statistical prime. The Champions trophy that would complete his MIBR chapter is a realistic ambition, not just an aspiration. The Brazilian star who turned a team called favela aimmers into a world championship narrative has not written the final chapter of his story yet.
Settings verified against specs.gg, ProSettings.net, and RaidGG as of June 2026. Pro settings change periodically — this article is updated when aspas makes confirmed changes.
