same as title, which year do you think it peaked, if it has yet?
like was pre franchising the best or was lock//in just that bad idk i started playing in late 2023
honestly thats a W take
edit:please teach your ways i want the BLEED flair back
bro i dont think bleed is a valid team to back ever lmao, not paying players is NOT good looks
2024, obv I‘m biased because of SEN, but I also think Pacific fully catching up and China showing what their absolute peak can look like are gonna be very iconic
2025 was the best year so far and those who disagree are blinded by nostalgia. It was the highest level of competition, the best meta we've had, the best international events, a shit ton of insane games, the least worst schedule so far (lol), a lot of drama and fun, etc... this year was the definition of peak
that was also a very fun part of the year tho it was awful when we were going through it
2024.
Asian teams finally caught up thanks to partnership and every region become equally competitive (3 region = 3 international trophies in same year).
i think 2024 had the best stories outside of PRX in 25 being all time peak but it does not makeup for bangkok (8 team mickey) and champs (im an nrg hater)
2020
The amount of revenge games we had in the early days, combined with people playing this game like a hero shooter was peak
