truth about valorant esports

its all flukes
one bad day and your team is out

acend won champs without making one masters that year in 2021

optc won champs, then yay went to T2 and performed terribly and NRG got grouped at next champs

EG won champs, now demon1 and ethan didnt even make playoffs with nrg

now this year SEN won masters and now got grouped in americas, and G2 (tier 2 team) and 100T (team that placed in bottom of americas last year) are the finalists

this esport is just way too random and makes it uninteresting

just goes to show how important consistency is

majority of these are with roster changes as ppl want to buy out the players.

I would argue that makes it more interesting. Different teams winning doesnt necessarily mean they win by luck. Its because they adapted better to changes or had better ideas

what about superstars just falling off like yay or d3ffo?

What you expect with 13 rounds (you can lose 2 pistols and thats 4 rounds lost already) imagine if you lose bonus round on top of that..
Also nonstop changing meta, teams either adapt and implement new stuff all the time, or fall behind :)

Optic never won champs, they won a Masters

I agree

sucks because i'd love to see a Astralis type era in valorant but prob won't happen game is just too random

fnc was the closest yet couldn’t win the most important one

we need minimum 5 events a year and no lower bracket in playoffs. losers are only given a safety net because it brings viewership xD

shows how important adaptation is since meta keeps changing

the game is too taxing. it need super super consistent players on board, and catch up to meta every 4-6 months.

acend made masters 3 berlin....

with you saying all that I'd say it makes the sport EVEN MORE interesting. Why do you think it would be more interesting if 5 teams dominated the meta every year?

ty for describe why valorant is exciting and interesting

what about superstars just falling off like yay or d3ffo?

meta changes. he really just was a chamber user/jett but as raze gets you more value you just drop off. same with Demon1 as he was jett mainly and being second entry when double duelist was in a decent shape it made him look so much better. but as an entry on raze he cant do it with the low sens.

ERM what the sigma

its not all flukes but rather the system and chemistry plays a massive role and not so much the individual skill of each player

almost as if its a different esport than cs/ ow
