When
T1 Crashies (Best Cypher in the world at that time)
T1 Food (Victor)
T1 AZK
T1 Brax (1st player ever to be signed to a Val Org)
T1 Skadoodle
and
TSM Wardell (Pioneer of Op/Jett)
TSM Subroza
TSM Drone (Phoenix Phantom GOAT)
TSM Reltuc
TSM Hazed
existed.

For context: 2020
Radiant rank was called "Valorant" back then lmfao

T1 fell off once tsm was signed bro. I also remember back in the days of double sentinel with the skadoodle sage op but then wardell and tenz started playing jett to op which was so crazy. Double and triple ops everywhere val was too crazy back then.

T1 invitational. Pretty sure it was the first mainstream tournament in Valorant. After that I only ever watched 100T games when nitr0 joined up until The Guard’s Stage 1 run in 2022.

T1 super team I think. With brax, ska, ibp players. Hiko with pubg guys, tsm dominated NA scene for couple months. EU scene didnt pop off that time, some OW guys like dafran and solary french team. SEN with sinatraa, sick, zombs, shaz,dapr were latecomers and not popular compared with 100t tsm c9 (tenz and friends), but they were team that first ended tsm era
