All the old superpower failed to qualify for Shanghai except for PRX. Never thought I'd see masters without LOUD. Fanatic is still left but they look shit rn.
bro
having good placements is not consistency
getting a similar placement every event is consistency
example: FNC from Copenhagen 2022 - Champions 2023 (4th, 5th-6th, 1st, 1st, 4th)
example: OPTIC/NRG from Reykjavik 2022 - Tokyo 2023 (1st, 3rd, 2nd, 5th, 4th)
example: DRX from Reykjavik 2022 - LOCK//IN 2023 (5th-6th, 5th-6th, 3rd, 3rd/4th)
meanwhile - LOUD:
2nd, 11th-12th, 1st, 2nd, 7th-8th (free playoff bye), 3rd
Bro, are you thinking before typing this shit?
At first comparison, this will be THE FIRST TIME that Loud will not be present on an international event since them joined on Valorant.
At second, you comparison with fnatic is not a good comparison, they can't hit 1st, 2nd consistently, Loud in 2022 only get out on groups because they have a bad game vs KRU and the next will be OPTIC that as we know was flying this year (and was a very close game), 2023 they are getting some problems going to Tokyo and with them resolved they got a very good performance on champions.
Giving all these points, with a team that will not be present in a international event for the first time on team history and consistently hits top 3 all this thought multiples years and huge roster changes, you will say that they are not the most consistent? With consistent the guy is not saying like is the best team of valorant ever but just consistent, just present on all valorant international events and hitting high placements on them ...
I will say it again and for the last time because it's like you have shit in the place of your brain ...
LOUD consistently qualifying for international events and hitting high spots consistently (at max they go bad only in one event, the next one they get a 3rd place), but this no matters, with LOUD not qualifying for Shangai yesterday I think this means that PapperRex is now the best team on this spot.
