(TLDR The Future Of Valorant )
If you think about it, this is still the early stages of Valorant in terms of looking at it in the long run.
Right now a Faker hasn't been established yet, an Astralis or SK haven't fully been established yet, and early top players like Wardell Tenz Shahzam Nats Cned Yay Marved FNS etc are just the "goat" for a period in time but who cares they all fall off/fell off over time from so many changes being made in the game and the leagues. If you realized, none are consistently the GOAT cuz of new agents/maps/comps/team changes, etc, meaning they aren't the actual real "GOAT" as of yet. (Aspas and Derke are "in the making" be the consistent future GOAT potentials imo but we'll see for sure in the near future, who knows)
Now, we actually have an official franchise league that can bring consistency. Why's Faker the goat? Cuz he won multiple times. Valorant don't have an official GOAT yet but we all want one and cant wait to see who it'll be right? So far Chronicle stands with 2x Champions but everyone says "Aspas or Derke are the goats".. be forreal.
So an official Franchised league just started. That means consistency should occur throughout time, meaning a Faker and an Astralis/SK dynasty teams will come around in the game and in the making.
There will be tons of constant changes in the future - new agents pools, new map pools, agent roles swap among teammates, stronger franchised teams being formed and solidified, and basically just a constant change of dynamics of the game, the players (ex. yay chamber nerf went from GOAT to tier2), the teams, and the league, etc.
So whoever is the most consistent in winning Masters/Champions shall be called the actual GOAT (like Faker Coldzera), and the best TEAMS like SKT T1 Astralis and SK will be formed throughout this Franchise VCT League aka MSI and Worlds.
Will Aspas or Derke become Faker? Will LOUD FNATIC DRX NRG become the first Astralis and SK? (Atm I think FNATIC is "Astralis in the making" and LOUD is "SK in the making", but anything can change next year)
Looking into the future... 2-3 years from now, 5-10 years, its exciting to see who the real GOATS of Valorant will become and see who the real "Best Teams" (SKT T1, Astralis, SK for ex.) are in the World and watch them compete.
Who will be the Valorant Faker and the SKTT1 Astralis SK be, and which region will they all derive from? Imagine :)
This is just the beginning~
