the level of competitiveness of valorant this year is also much bigger than last year.
i'm not saying they're bad, not even close, but if pancada e sacy were just too good by themselves, they would be on champions playing with 2 master's winner and zekken in their team.
For me, saadhak is the key in both teams, a lot of times using simple defaults on the map, adapting little things like going on contact, exectutions timings, reading enemy's setups...
i may be wrong cauze a lot of teams plays so agressive (mostly pacific/china region), but in general teams that have the better reading of the opponents has "upper hand" and saadhak's readings put LOUD in that position a lot of times.
