Imo, next year will be the best year for valorant ever. This year showed some advantages and disadvantages of franchising, and also exposed a ton of frauds that do not deserve to be in franchising. I honestly think that with all the talent in tier 2 and the frauds exposed, most teams that make changes will drastically improve for next year. Plus, we have an additional team in each league now that fought their way into qualification and wasn’t given a free spot, so those teams are likely to be good.
