watching IEM cologne and the corwd is insane. sold out arena for the first game and theres beatiful men and women in the crowd all looking lively and happy! valorant crowds are no where close to this... truth hurts.
I think that is fair to say.
I would also say, atleast for emea val, the top teams and the good fan-groups doesn't have a good overlap.
The likes of the "blue wall" , "golden hornets" or even "the green suits" haven't been able to support their team at an event yet.
FNC and Liquid for example are top teams with good online presence but they don't have the fan culture that some of the french or spanish teams have.
