It's not Acend
all the people saying gambit pls tell me one actual reason,acend has literally won more against gambit than they have against acend and won champions against them,ppl are just mad because they won it against all the odds,gambit was the "fan favorite" and they cant say that cis is better than eu anymore lol
I think its more about the consistency on LAN. Acend has always been amazing team online and they looked really good in end of Champions, but way underperformed in Masters 3. While Gambit's 1st and 2nd placements in back to back international LAN tournaments just shows how consistent they have been (even though they struggled in groups). I also like Gambit's approach more.
One actual reason: Gambit much more consistent and reliable.
Have better individually players
Have had more sucess throughout the year
Ppl saying acend is better than gambit LOL
They were a bit better for 1 week.
Just because 1 team wins two hard games against strong teams, it doesnt mean that this team is better than the one that dominated whole 2021 and lost just two International matches along the year.
we will see next year,rn acend is simply better vs gambit than gambit is vs acend even if they got placed higher in 1 event doesnt mean that they are a better team,also they were pretty close to losing to kru but their inexperience led them to choke just like acend did vs 100t,you dont just "fluke" a major win,also acend has always been a top tier team but just inexperienced
There is no best team in the world, Valarante as an esport is so random that if you will both pistols in a map your chance to take it is already 80% as long as you're not complete noob, lucky clutches can save your economy / momentum which will in the future save you from losing the game / getting eliminated, right call can give you the victory and wrong call will knock you out, only 13 rounds to win which increases the randomness of Valorant even more...
Acend - Gambit - Liquid - KRU - even Sentinels, all can beat each other on any day, Acend were just a little bit more blessed in some game moments, doesn't mean they didn't deserve the trophy
jeez man, it was a joke. just because 100T beat them in a super super close game doesn’t mean they’re the best team in the world, by a long shot. 100T didn’t even make champs, idk why you guys are taking this seriously. I don’t think we can say there is a best team in the world, at least right now, and if there IS one rn, it’s definitely not 100T, even if I want to say that as their fan.
once again people trying to rate valorant teams as if they were CSGO
in valorant, the meta is always changing. New agents are joining the pool, guns are getting nerfed or buffed, maps are changing, etc... the game is still relatively new and there's always so much going on, that teams haven't been able to perfect all the strategies (if they ever will)
that's why we had different teams winning the Masters/Champions. And I believe that this will repeat for quite some time
