Tiers for valorant teams

#1

CTG

I feel like people use the tiers in valorant very loosely. Which valorant teams are T1, T2, and T3?
Well, there are obvious ones but I feel like only the top four or five teams should be considered T1 and like teams that have been around for a while but haven't made any big success as yet T2. T3 teams would be any other teams that have done well through qualifiers but haven't made it to groups and T4 would just be any other team that just shows up.

T1:Optic,C9,TGRD(before this tournament),XSET
T2:Sen(before this tournament),100T,TSM,NRG,LG,Faze,Ghost,EG etc.
T3:Akrew,NYFU,Soar,Complexity,Knights,SQ etc.

idk I considered TGRD tier 1 at first because they had a good showing but if they continue the way they are going they can easily drop down to t2.
Sen deserves to stay T2 because they are still a pretty good team they are just having problems figuring out what they are doing against the best of the best I wouldn't put them down on t3 team level as yet.
LG hasn't shown enough to say they are considered t1 as yet but they can go there if they show more this tournament

TGRD has yet to prove they are consistent enough to be in tier1. Until then to me they're tier2
Luminosity was one of the first teams to qual in open beating top contention teams to qualify and then staying consistent as of recent and rated as one of the top teams right now. Tier1 for sure
Sen is losing to teams like GhostGaming and Akrew both tier3 imo. They've lost to most tier2 teams on this list and if they haven't its because they haven't faced them. They're tier3 as of rn.

But theyre way above all these tier two teams on the list.
We can meet in the middle and call them tier1.5

T1 are the teams are playing at the top level of the competition (in valorant that is, other games it is different because they play more often)
T2 are the contenders that can win the T2 tournaments
T3 are somewhat notable teams that don't really have the capability to win a T2 tournament.
