I think today solidified how strong the Americas Franchise is really going to be. On top of NA teams being good, teams like LOUD and Leviatan are living proof that T1 teams from BR and LATAM can exist and thrive if they have solid opponents to play and scrim against. I believe within the next year, a BR or LATAM team is going to win a LAN due to franchising allowing these two regions to become stronger.
Within 9 months, the sphere of Valorant has shifted from EMEA dominance to an equal skill level among most regions, and I believe by next year the Americas Franchise will have the dominance EMEA once had previously.
