2024 def is, but maybe it’s because 2023 was by far the best champions with 2022 at 2nd. Two back to back peak events and now we have this tourney, massive sleeper

Crowd, stadium, narratives, hype, gameplay, meta, atmosphere, etc. 2024 in every aspect is worse than the last two champions.

we're watching sen go from not making an international lan to knocking out the tourney favorites in the group stage and beating FNC in a 2-1 fashion. DRX finally making a roster change and finally making a LAN this year. EDG making the deepest run a china team has made to date. aspas back to dominating on the international level. two teams out of the remaining four have a chance to have the first player in valorant history win 2 champs trophies. TH finally being able to have a run at an international tourney with their starting roster, and at worst getting 4th place. A LATAM org can win their first trophy, a CN org can win their first trophy, an EU team can win their first trophy thats not named FNC since 2022, and the most clouted org in the esport can finally lift a champs trophy after having one of the hardest years ever. PLEASE tell me how those arent good narratives.

your very right
but i think a lot of us have gone to the conclusion that the length and quality of matches isnt the same as 2022 or 2023

Like in 2022 we had bangers like drx v fpx and optic v loud which had the best quality of matches EVER like that shi was so fun no matter who you were rooting for

And in 2023 we had EG v PRX OMGGG
that one pearl match was chefs kiss
or LOUD V FNC BROOO
absolute heaters of matches

But NOW
we are getting so many 2-0s and just not as many overtimes mannn, also the crowd being so small lowers the hype
and people arent even doing cool shi after kills like kissing their mice, or acting like they shooting an op or waving goodbye

Tarik even said this, Since this is Champions, we really need more matches inside the arena

Logistics etc exist but the hype is being sold short with so many studio games.
