Is this the best tournament in Valorant history?

I don't think the game has ever been in such a balanced meta and with so many mechanically unbelievable players. It has varied compositions, heroi plays and a lot of new tactics. You feel like anyone can win!

I think this is the best LAN yet, yes

yeah it def is this playoffs has been the most competitive of any event

Copenhagen was close but I prefer champs, it's been more entertaining imo

yes and no, because there isn't so many "history's and rivalries this year

bro didn't watch M3 Berlin

true but the quality of each game has been very good and entertaining but the story is lacking tbf.

Best event ever
No crowd for playoffs

pick1

I think the top 6 is pretty competitive but I do feel like top 4 has a gap. If everything goes right fnatic loud should be top 4.

yes

In terms of quality of gameplay? Definetely yes.
In terms of entertainment? No, even champs 2021 was better

100%
Most balanced regionally, most fun, most competitive, yada yada

nah I disagree, the only major storyline all last year was optic vs loud

theres no more nrg vs loud rivalry but eg vs edg fnc vs loud edg vs loud

its not one massive rivalry but there are a bunch of entertaining smaller ones

No crowd is because of bad weather safety reasons...

bro didn't watch M3 Berlin

Valorant in that time was not that balanced, a lot of mid/bad teams and only EMEA and NA showing up, now anny region can win...

For sure its the most competitive i've seen so far. I honestly cant bet my money on who's winning this

Why, this doesnt feel like top 8 of champions, if crowd can't be there Riot should just postpone the matches.

thre was FPX(NAVI) X DRX, OPTIC X DRX, PRX x DRX, Brazil x KRU, lots of polemics, and new players showing up

That would be a logistical nightmare. Riot can’t “just postpone” some matches in the middle of an event that takes months to organize

Champs 2022 clears...

I doubt it would be hard like you're implying, already saw event organizers way way smaller than Riot in csgo postponing matches because of tech problems, and if the crowd can't be there for safety reasons, players shouldnt be allowed to be there either.
