Is there less hype this year compared to last year

#1

title
I feel like the site is deader and riot hasn't done anything to raise hype
its also an 8 team tournament so many peoples favorite teams didnt get to qual, leaving people not hyping to other teams up.
Idk tho its just me

that's because we had a whole split and playoffs before tokyo so we knew that the best teams were going to the event

The kick off event was a hype ngl. But yes masters madrid will not feel exactly like masters. It should have been top 3 from each region.

Game is dying, but the esport is as good as always in my opinion. This might the best masters event in terms of viewership because you got the orgs with the most clout in the world of esports.

I feel like there's less storylines at the start of the year; that's how I felt about lock-in

all the forum really has going for it rn is SEN fans and NRG fans acting like english football fans in every thread

i think there are more storylines
KC and TH rising to the top of EMEA
SEN beating the NRG superteam to qual to madrid, then go on to beat LOUD.
I don't follow the other regions but i think PRX lost and the GenG hype is there

8 team international is just so stupid ngl, and the fact that we had to wait 6 months for 2 weeks of valorant into another break is crazy crazy.
