FNC went from winning the first masters of last year to not getting top 3 in champs, everyone expected fnc to win as well, you not seeing this is just clear biased hate towards SEN, and LOUD was never at the top, they were consistent throughout that year and FUMBLED in tokyo, so yeah "why didn't FNC/LOUD fall off last year" CLEARLY tells me you don't know what you're talking about.
As of 2022, Optic was praised for being one of the most consistent teams valorant has seen as of yet, although LOUD and OPTIC both fumbled in masters where FPX won, and FPX fumbled in champs 2022, so yeah, you're just yapping to hate
