I enjoyed Masters Madrid WAY more than Masters Shanghai and Masters Bangkok
Maybe it was bc of the hype it would be if a Pacific team would win a Masters. Now that the Asian teams won 3 international events in a row, that hype kinda died down and bored me a lot more ngl
update: Masters Toronto hype = Masters Madrid hype lfg
i dont even think its cause of that, it was just that the event was hype asf and the crowd was good, a lot of teams with personalities too
true, m1xwell is so fun to watch even tho I only understand a tiny bit of spanish
there were resurgent teams like KC TH SEN GENG
teams which were terrible the previous year
absolutely true
all of the matches were really close, and there were a lot more memorable plays and moments in Masters Madrid than even Champions last year
I mean masters madrid had quite awesome moments and storylines, it was sen's revenge arc after 2023 blunder, for the first time pacific crown wasn't on DRX or prx head and a completely new pacific team was there, heretics had risen out of nowhere with t2 talent to be there and same for kc, plus the matches went all close and had hype moments like the heretics PRX match beef
EXACTLY
benjyfishy shit talking monyet before getting karma, N4rrate solo carrying KC vs SEN, f0rsaken 1v5 ace, mindfreak 1v4 clutch vs LOUD.....
CINEMA
personally the main thing I love about madrid is the amount of highlight moments there were, forsaken 1v5, mindfreak 1v4, n4rrate 1v3 and prx vs th
I did not care for any of the masters in franchising except for tokyo, I think tokyo was so good that it killed they hype of all the rest of the masters
I did not give two shits about whoever won, that shit was not as hype as PRX's Tokyo run and SEN vs GEN showing what a BO5 should be like
Valorant is turning into League lite where korean/chinese teams dominate tournaments but people are not ready to accept it yet. And Valorant doesn’t have a Faker/T1 equivalent either so it brings the hype to nonexistent levels when you see some bums you couldn’t give less of a shit about fighting for the trophy
my thoughts exactly, even tho I support the Pacific and CN teams, it doesn't seem as hype when Asia has already won 3 international trophies back to back
