Valorants first S-Tier proper rivalry?

Is it safe to say that Optic and Loud are proper rivals at this point? or do we need a few more games to say that?

If they win this sure because is been pretty 1-sided even the optic players said themselves they wouldn’t consider it a rivalry

Yes, the green derby

ofc!!

Astralis liquid is considered one of the best rivalries in CS and it was hella one sided

yes. i love this rivalry because it's clear both teams respect each other

new system next year we might not see the name optic so unfortunately no

i suppose, but the games have more often then not been really close, at the very least i think loud and optic are constantly fighting for #1 valorant team spot imo

I imagine Optic gets franchised, they seem pretty financially stable. Unless its been confirmed they have not been franchised, idk i dont keep up with it

pretty cocky thing to say considering almost every single map between them was close

Last year it was fnatic vs liquid and smb vs acend but now optic vs loud is another level

green derby

well in my heart of hearts i will still call it a rivalry regardless of what banner the teams fall under. As long as its the same players ofc

optic has a much higher win rate on this duel but yes its the closest thing to a rivalry / el clasico

1 sided? You haven't watched a single one of the games

1-sided as in they win pretty much every time, they were on a 4 game win streak against them before that

To be fair though, most games in valorant are close, teams dont just go 13-3ing other teams, guess they just dont consider it because they're not constantly back n forth

Yea but rivalries aren't necessarily about the records of the teams, I guess its more about fans shit talking the other fans like NA vs EU rivalry. Like in sports there's rivalries but they're mostly from the fans

They need some beef between them first
