I think 2020-2021. Reasoning being that teams used to get away with having horrendous IGLs and even playing without coaches. In 2022, it’s still Mickey Mouse compared to 23 onwards, but at least we saw the visible impact of coaches and IGLs.
none of the players that won champions 21 are in tier 1 rn. should tell u all u need to know
Been watching since the start, and its easily the 2020-21 era. Alot of teams still didn't know the game super well and it was very random in terms of teams that made it outside of a small handful which were miles ahead of others. 2022 Was when we started to see stability and a good amount of teams in the open circuit era understanding, as well as some amazing Masters events like Reykjavik and Copenhagen that to this day hold up as some of the better ones.
So I wouldn't consider anything in '22 as a plumber era as the majority of players, orgs, coaches, etc. from that era are still very active in Tier 1 valo, the same cannot be said about 2021.
20-21, 22 was the start of valorant differentiating itself from cs as a new game
Valorant's level of play has been increasing ever year, but the biggest jump imo was from 2021 to 2022. Thus, I would say 2020-2021 is what would be considered the "plumber era".
