I think masters Bangkok might be the worst VCT international so far.
Not because I didn't like the teams or I was mad a certain team didn't win but I feel like this was some of the worst professional tier 1 valorant play I've seen.
You could probably take any series in the tournament and find one outrageously stupid choice/play for each one. The overall gameplay from every team also did not feel like the normal level they play at.
I'll give some examples:
Team liquid vs edg on split had an atrocious gravity well fail from kamyk
Jawgemo's ult fail on the last round of the g2 vs edg Swiss stage series
Drx vs vitality split had drx mess up a 4v2 against less's stinger because they tried to dry peak out of a smoke and flashback could not hold down his site because he kept on getting revealed
Trace picked lotus against t1 even though it was probably t1's best map, and it showed that they were totally unprepared on the map when the scoreline was 13-3
This tournament had every team looking like they just came from tier 2 at some point and will probably be the worst international tournament in VCT history. Hopefully it isn't a pattern the rest of the year will follow.
