The most equal tourney i've ever seen in esports, god, at this point I feel any team in the group stage(except Crazy Raccoons and Full Sense) could play competitively in the playoffs, we haven't seen any team with a dominant and solid performance, gambit almost fell to vks, that got 2-0 by TS. The most solid team may be liquid LoOoOoOL
Great histories, we saw some players that are actually the nastiest, way more than expected. Teams with no beliefs, like fnatic, doing sooo well, the hopes of the cocky NA fell in the arms of Vanity and a single leaf, former tenz org.
Brazilians getting their hopes soo high after the great performances of their 3 teams, made every region of Valorant hate them because they can't understand rules and punishment for violating it, only to be humbled by 2 upsets, a comeback, kru(again), and a top fragger called zombs, man litterally shat on 200 million, gotta be a new record of kills in VCT. APAC and Latam are the best minor regions now, jokes on BR and KR.
But im hyped to see LAN derke again, man has actually a buff, the headshot machine actually playing well, cause right now there are literally 3 liquid players with higher HS%, KRU the team with the most international LAN experience, vanity facing liquid again, and nAts, is just a normal human now? are we gonna see fnatic and liquid in the finals? the only EU final that is actually interesting is this one, we wanna see at least an underdog or NA\EU rivalry
only downside on champions may be the number of upsets, idk if I liked it
