HEAR ME OUT. Since Champs existed i don't think there ever was a winner who was the best team of the year. Ofc the champs winner deserves it but i do thinks it's a matter of circumstance rather than consistency
WhoseTao [#2]Loud 22 and arguably EG 23 in terms of peak
i think fnc could be counted as the best team itw in 23
kirrans [#6]i think fnc could be counted as the best team itw in 23
for the year yea, but in terms of peak I think its arguable, like at their very best EG was incredible
WhoseTao [#8]for the year yea, but in terms of peak I think its arguable, like at their very best EG was incredible
oh for sure it's arguable but i feel like in valorant champs doesn't really show the best team of the year just the hottest team right at that point
Yoorake [#7]FPX was the best team IMO but visas really F them
ignore my flair for a minute, can you just justify this take for me? I legitimately don't get it, considering how they performed at champs and who they played.
saladass619 [#11]The team that wins champs IS THE BEST ITW. Everyone knows champs is the biggest of the year. So the best team will make sure to be in peak form during champs.
ACEND was the best team itw when they won?
4rrowlol [#12]Acend wasn’t even top 3 of 2021
they won the biggest event, that makes them the #1 team of 2021
Yoorake [#7]FPX was the best team IMO but visas really F them

While I disagree with your opinion, I think the post was more asking about the best team of the year before champs
For example, 2023 fnatic won 2 lans, so they would likely be considered the best of the year going into champs, but they couldn't win champs

Thats every game, you can be good for the entire year but if youre a little worse on that one day then youll lose, vice versa too. Best teams also need to be the most consistent teams imo.

Fnatic was unbeatable at their peak brother Idk what you're yapping about

For me personally the way FPX played was smarter and better for the whole year than Loud for the year (Including regionals) But LOUD was undoubtedly the best team at champs, but not for the entire year IMO
rtg9000 [#31]yeah i agree actually
2021- Gambit best, Acend won
2022- Optic best, LOUD won
2023- Fnatic best, EG won
2024- Gen.G best, NotGen.G won2 tournaments in a row seems like the limit for teams lmao
And 1 tournament for champs winner considering the history
4rrowlol [#12]Acend wasn’t even top 3 of 2021
bro
YOU ARE A FUCKING DUMASS
ACEND was #2 team of 2021 after Gambit idiot
bees [#3]If y'all don't think Loud was the best team of 2022 idk what to say.
I would say optic was the best in 2022
G2thelion [#25]Fnatic was unbeatable at their peak brother Idk what you're yapping about
And at their peak, teams like EG and PRX hadnt peaked either, its hard to say which is why I said arguably. Though I dont think PRX peak is higher than FNC peak, but I think EG could match up.
