I think it's more about whether a certain player carried to convert a couple crucial rounds that a team needed to clinch a win. For example, derke with vitality in a lot of their matches was simply brute forcing his way through teams to win games. There wasn't much strategy going on because there was no need for it, since derke go kill seemed to work so well. That's probably why they got absolutely humbled in the playoffs at Bangkok, but the cracks were showing right from the kickoff finals, when vitality lost 2 maps to TL when they clearly have much better fraggers on the team. Also, some teams play so badly that it's almost unbelievable to fathom how they won despite playing poorly or while throwing rounds. Valorant has some degree of luck too, and when everything goes wrong for a team that might be playing good valorant, it might feel like they deserved to win more than their opponents. For example, let's say a team gets super unlucky with 3 or 4 clutch rounds on a map, but they are trading each other well and looking for good first picks. Those crucial rounds lost make all the effort for nothing because a map is decided through those rounds that were a toss up between you and the opponent, unless you show absolute dominance from the outset. This is some of the examples of what could be meant by a team deserving to win.
