Astralis were being considered as the greatest CSGO team in history at the time and literally came off of winning a major before that event (Ethan was also knocked out by Astralis in that same major), EG were absolutely not the favourites by anyone and yet they still took home the W. In Valorant, EG were definitely in the discussion of being the Champ winners heading into the tourney and Ethan knew it fully. It was his first S-Tier tourney to win too, so it makes sense why he values it more.
