past games to watch

heya, I started watching vct in 2024, but really want to catch earlier games to see some past teams play. what are good/entertaining games I should definitely watch?

Dont look on past
No matchup worth
Keep forward

Gambit KRU bind Champs 21, Gambit G2 Icebox Masters Berlin, Gambit Acend Breeze Champs 21.

lock in final
2023 UF and GF for champs

Not worth it. Game changed after 2023.Only na & eu was competing before that.

all the 2023 EG games

optic vs loud masters reykjavik finals

Watch through highlights only maybe the tournament buildups top plays nd highlights first to get a basic idea of what was VCT pre franchising.
Notable runs to watch nd enjoy include Kru 2021 at champs , the legendary Japanese run which created the fanbase as it exists today there , FPX at masters copenhagen as they try to survive with sub while Suygetsu waits for his visa and their turnaround with him joining nd lighting up the stage, Prx Invincible looking W gaming run in the same tourney, Xset's rise in NA regionals with time, Optic gaming in chamber meta with Yay, the original Gambit roster in 2021-22 .
