Bro, are you thinking before typing this shit?
At first comparison, this will be THE FIRST TIME that Loud will not be present on an international event since them joined on Valorant.
At second, you comparison with fnatic is not a good comparison, they can't hit 1st, 2nd consistently, Loud in 2022 only get out on groups because they have a bad game vs KRU and the next will be OPTIC that as we know was flying this year (and was a very close game), 2023 they are getting some problems going to Tokyo and with them resolved they got a very good performance on champions.
Giving all these points, with a team that will not be present in a international event for the first time on team history and consistently hits top 3 all this thought multiples years and huge roster changes, you will say that they are not the most consistent? With consistent the guy is not saying like is the best team of valorant ever but just consistent, just present on all valorant international events and hitting high placements on them ...
