"i mean it can be too low in terms of viewer engagement or hype around it but that doesn't make it mickey mouse, it'd be mickey mouse if the format was bad (Lock\in) but it had the best format of any tournament valorant has had"
"the only match of Lock\in most people remember is the grand finals. LOUD vs EDG, LOUD vs SEN, and SEN vs GenG are all more memorable than the 2nd most memorable game at Lock\in"
i never brought up stakes are u ok bro?
if by stakes you mean hype and viewer engagement, there was much more hype at each individual stage (per game) at madrid than at Lock\in
LOUD vs EDG is memorable because of how shocking the outcome was, it will be remembered because of how bad LOUD stomped EDG, its the reverse of why other games are usually remembered (hence why we remember TGRD vs 100T 13-0, because of how bad it was)
stakes doesnt nearly mean entertaining or hype, its about the stakes of the matches which i already explained it. how can u associate with that?
the stakes of matches were way too low to even begin with due to 8 teams. like this is the only tournament since vct began which has the least amount of teams in it. lock in has single elim for sure but has very high stakes on a single match cuz if u lose one series u go home which makes teams play at their S tier gameplay.
also, idk what tf u r sayin? u thought everybody expected edg to win this? how come loud beating edg was a "SHOCK" ? there have been many matches that have got worse than this. like Gambit vs G2 in masters berlin where they 13-0'd them on icebox with a 2-0 scoreline
LOUD vs EDG is memorable because of how shocking the outcome was, it will be remembered because of how bad LOUD stomped EDG,
