#1

Mca

Most brutal tournament in Valorant history

1 - Every team playing for their lifes
2 - Single Elimination (high stakes every game)
3 - NRG vs LOUD was pinaccle of Valorant
4 - Greatest final ever

Only thing missing was a single ounce of competitive integrity, had everything else tho.

They can downvote it but they can't hide the truth we all know. No qualifiers + single elim + completely undeveloped meta (mf's were playing sova on lotus). Will never count as a major.

But It counts as a fucking great tournament

Never ever again we've seen a tournament with such high stakes and plot Twists

Even If you didn't count as a major, it counts as the best event ever

It was great to watch I agree, the Loud vs NRG fracture was probably the best map ever.

every team played in the same circumstances, whether you enjoyed it or not you can't take away from the victors by saying it doesn't count

NA fans hate lock in cos their teams performed poorly in it but the reality is it was the peak of valorant esports

I liked the idea of it, all the Teams duking it out and shit

Would be interesting to see the same format be the Champions format every year, make it a month long tournament with 4 Teams fighting every day, 2 matches ongoing at the same time

Hella facts, yet my favorite team didn’t win so it was Mickey Mouse…. Also I like how the first two points are so valid for Madrid Playoffs yet no one talks about them when roasting Madrid

Personally my fav tournament of all time, so much hype with all the new rosters, so many banger games, amazing final, prime fns vs prime saadhak matchup crowd was really fun even with them being biased, better than being quiet and boring

No, most of the teams were ass because it was the beginning of both franchising and the season. Not to mention starting the season off with a single elimination tournament where you could end up playing one game, and then going home. It was a fun way to kick off franchising, but holy hell it's a terrible way to measure how good teams are.

Loud vs NRG lock/in is my favorite match of valorant, so imo yes lock/in was the best event. The stax waving after beat c9 was insane lmao.

instead of kickoff and a mickey masters we should have a hybrid regional/lan event. For example in the regional rounds you will go from 12 to 6 teams regionally, then just have a smaller lock//in single elim on lan
