off-season matches barely mean anything
that’s why i think meta changes kill the stability in esports - and then people wonder why esports orgs make no money
it’s not the only reason but it does make an impact
the only team that has been consistently near the top is fnc - everyone else keeps going up and down
and the only team that profits off valorant without consistent top8 finishes is sen (and the reason is clear)
teams like loud or navi suddenly turning shit from title contenders out of nowhere? obv not, they didn’t adapt to new meta
investing in valorant is as good as gambling
