Is Bangkok the most competitive tournament ever?

Literally anyone can win except Liquid.

Surely this is the most competitive tournament I feel (watching since start of 2021)

only included it since every team was there and every game was a BO3. i do think LOCK IN had the highest ceiling but the lowest floor of every tournament ever

The matches were so unbelievably chalk that even I managed to get a near perfect pick-em. https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/ccdae2d7

Barely any teams practiced with each other. I mean, if you look at the 4 teams who made the playoffs it was the 4 teams that were already competitive last year and had their core of players stick together.

Highest ceiling isn't exactly right, it's not like FNC or Loud were playing the best Val we had ever seen, all the other teams were just shit. But in the sense of every team being included then I think it would make sense to call it the most "stacked" event even if the best teams at the event wouldn't come close to winners from other events before it

2022 champs was by far the most competitive tournament in valorant history.
On paper it shouldn't have been but it ended up being super competitive unlike a lot of other tournaments that are competitive on paper but end up heavily disappointing i.e. masters Tokyo, masters Madrid, champs 2023 and pretty much ever other on paper stacked tournament

2023 champs. You had prime EG, a really good version of LOUD, arguably peak PRX, EDG and DRX were also pretty good. And fartnatic i guess. They were mid tho.

wtf is this random ass copium. There wasnt a single non-delulu person that predded someone other than FNATIC to win champs lmfaoooo. They mightve "rooted" for some other team to win, but they would bet on FNATIC if their life was on the line.

that's because they had just won the last tournament, that doesn't mean they were good at champs, lol.

It's because 2 best team of each region, so no team actually weak (and since it's double elim, so no fluke/lucky run)

2023 champs was so good we can say all the top 4 teams (minus EG who in fact won) threw and should've won that thing

No it isnt, even if measuring on paper there were many tournaments that looked far more stacked but ended up being a snoozer.
If all the teams perform well or up to expectations it should be near the level champs 22 was at but anything less than that and it won't even be close
