Why challengers so boring

I used to enjoy watching challengers alot last year but dont enjoy this year at all i thought it was just valorant i wasn’t enjoying but i enjoyed lock in alot, so whats the issue?

The level of gameplay

I think it’s just the casting tbh

lack of hype from casting and no crowd

This shit mf resolution doesn't help

its not hype right now because its still early

I think all of the above honestly

the casting, no crowd, no hype, to me it looks like shit gameplay cuz it looks like they just running it down, also compared to the high level gameplay from lock//in, especially those set plays from drx, fnatic vs furia haven and much more. its just plain valorant with nothing else, every round in lock in has a replay with the crowd, coaches, and scene of stage but this is boring plain valorant, this is why i dont want to watch challengers during lock in cuz it ruins the experience for me personally, it looks like shit.

Going from top level EU plays to this hurts my eyes. I left as soon as I saw round 4
