optic actually got so lucky in masters 1 and masters 2 2022, In masters 1 fpx and fnatic didn't attend considering that they lost the bo3 vs loud if those teams had attended they would've finished about 4th if both had attended, In masters 2 they got an insanely lucky bracket, drawing the 3 worst teams in the top 8 despite finishing 2nd in their group, guild and fnatic also only lost to the top 2 teams at the tournement and were arguably more competitive with guild being the closest team to beating full fpx if the bracket were drawn any way differently, optic would have finished 5-6 in that tournement. Considering the value deep runs in a tournement has on improving a team its possible this also boosted their champions performance.

players peak depending on the meta, and valorant meta changes drastically season by season. Its why cned yay and cryo dominated and now arent, it's why hard anchors like alfi, boostio, and less were amazing last year with kj meta, its why space creators like aspas, kangkang and SO many more are very good even with jett nerfs because raze is still so good, and why so many teams are look for players who can be versatile... Ethan, forsaken, jawgemo, chronicle, zellsis, etc. If you can have a player that can throw on many hats, then the chances of your team succeeding are greater. Shit, look at EG, Demon1 on astra on split cuz he's bored on the awp? fuck it throw boosty on it. Make a strong map stronger with different comps, and different playstyles.
i think everyone looks as cned as a great player but not the massive threat he was when 100t literally had to run a "run to the other site" strat to get passed him in 2021. My point was just that some players shine more during certain meta's because their skillsets fit it so well, and right now IMO more and more teams are looking for versatility because of it.
