Appreciation Thread to All Champions Teams

As Champions concludes tomorrow (or today in some regions) I would like to appreciate every team in this event. Disclaimer. Its really long. (Please let me know if i missed anyone)

Optic: Thanks for always being a beacon of consistency and repping NA very well in international events.
Loud: I commend their bounce back from Copenhagen. They look really strong and are playing incredible right now.
DRX: Congrats on breaking your curse and beating the Masters 2 champions. They have proved that you guys are a true contenders.
FPX: They are one of the best teams in world. They should be proud of what they accomplished this year.
Fnatic: One the teams that have some of the best personalities.
Xset: After a rough Copenhagen run, these guys really stepped up your game. WP
TL: From Stage 2 to LCQ/Champions, this team showed incredible improvement and beat some of really good teams.
LEV: It was sad to see them be elminated so early on in playoffs but they had one of the beat group stages Ive ever seen. I will never forget that LEV vs Xset game in master 2.
PRX: one of the most fun to watch teams this year. They always were innovating and picked some of the least common agents in the game and made them work. Hope to see them next year
EDG: For China’s first international showing, they played well and look relatively strong. Yeah, they didn't go far but i was impressed with their first ever international games
100T: 5 months ago, if you told me that this new roster would qualify for champions and come one game from going to playoffs. I would’ve said Holy Copium. But they actually did. Huge turnaround. Nice job!
Furia: For not playing any international games this year, they played well against some good opponents.
Kru: they are always are international events. And i think that itself just proves something. Always a nice team watch and so consistent.
Xerxia: I commend how they took a risk by playing yoru and phoenix. Yah it wasnt that successful but it takes guts and i respect that.
BOOM: honestly, that breeze game vs optic was amazing to watch and the hype around them was funny
ZETA: Given their unfortunate circumstances with TENN they did decent in the group stage against tough opponets. Also Laz is insane.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

all seriousness though, all teams have something they should be proud of. valorant seems to be in a really good place in terms of the talent coming from all regions.

NA, a region that was famously called a 1 team region had 100T put up good games against Fnatic and DRX, 2 teams that are familiar to LANs, and XSET played so well this tournament, surpassing mine and most people’s expectations.
SA had LEV really step up, they stomped groups (and shit on PRX sadly)
EMEA, as much shit as I give them, really did step up to win their 2nd seed decider matches in groups, something that really takes a good mental fortitude.
KR may be a 1 team region, but DRX stepping up in Champs and placing 3rd is HUGE for the region and next year we’ll see more KR talent showcased.
JP had an unfortunate showing cause of the TENN shit, all good though
CN had their first showing internationally, which is fucking HUGE.
APAC had an not great showing, but BOOM took a map off Optic, XERXIA had a close series with XSET, and PRX had a close series with TL. Someone’s gotta be the loser and they took it in stride.

I’m really excited for the 30 team tournament, it’ll show how the worst teams in any region match up against other regions top dogs.

loud wins all this shit

MASSIVE WWWW
