I know a lot of people liked the pre-franchising era more, and some even think 2023 was better than 2024, but I would like to appreciate that all International Grand Finals this year went to map 5. Granted, not every single map was close, but overall I think map 5 grand finals makes for entertaining Valorant in terms of it not feeling like a one sided matchup. I just hope future years continue on being competitive without one region just being the clear favorites every time
