Skill disparity in Valorant compared to a game like League is different to start off. The difference between the best team and the worst team in franchising is not a gap that wide. Also, Valorant is more finite in the way you can play, so eventually when there is so much footage of you playing, new ideas are harder to create and opponents can create effective ideas to stop your style of play, and that's why the adaptability factor of an entire team matters more than anything. What does your squad do when your strats are getting stuffed? I think the team that's the closest to figuring it out is Paper Rex, and it shows in their placements (top 4 in the last 3-4 tournaments).
