Increased entertainment

Objectively this loss for Acend and overall the tournament as a whole with surprises (not match wins but map wins) has made the whole tournament more competitive. This is great for Valorant as a game as it is not just EU and NA dominating, probably worse for viewership however. Makes the whole thing a lot more interesting.

Champions is delivering the hype.

what do you mean?? brazil has a huge viewership

i think nv - vk would be more interesting than a nv - acend. vk was just the better team today. gg.
