Has to be 2023 or 2024
2024 was more fun cause
We got SEN beating GenG
GenG went on to have one of the most dominant performances in history
TH being the dark horse who no one expected but was right up there
and then EDG winning the championship out of nowhere
G2 making it so far despite coming from Ascension when no one expected them to
2025 is underrated
best finals OAT in bangkok with t1 underdog run, prx miracle run to toronto and finally lifting the long awaited trophy along with wolves cinderella run, banger matches at champs with nrg taking it all
bangkok gf was ASS but it would have been more ass if gold2 won
22 > 24 > 23 > 25 > 21
My Ranking (aka the TRUTH):
2022 > 2021 > 2025 > 2023 > 2024 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2026
EWC pretty much carries 2025 over 2023 here.
Copenhagen 2022 and Masters Berlin 2021 are still the 2 most entertaining events oat.
2025
tejo meta first masters and cinema gf
g2 clean sweep but fucking up every international since then
prx train from 1-13 dfm to winning masters and stage 2
wol cinderella run
prime yoru meta
fnatic consistently high placing and alfajer doing miracles till he got hospitalised + rise of kaajak
rookie team winning champs, drx breaking 5th-6th curse, aspas thanos
2025 imo. tejo meta was zzz but it was lowk cool to see what set ups teams would come up with. And then having the most open meta at champs 25 was cool. Wish they kept that patch around for longer with a slight yoru nerf
23, 24 and 25 imo, 26 has been disappointing and i feel like thats resonated with non-prx fans for the most part
Real I feel like the events had no hype at all. I didn't really care who won unlike previous years
2024 as a tenz stan
2025 was better
Hot take 2022, it was just 2 teams beating the fuck out of each other and the breeze incident in between
Ngl idk how 2024 is low for you when 100T won a regional and made top 4 at shanghai
i'm not very biased
i think overall 2023 and 2022 were the most entertaining and 2024 was overall a nothingburger for me besides the 100t performance
24,23 and 25 all others were disappointing
Riot themselves ruined this year by the patches or else we could've seen another GenG level domination
2024 was fun, Sen GenG and TH beating each other up over the course of the internationals especially in the group of death was exciting; don’t think we’ll ever see such a stacked group of death again with all master finalists at Champs.
2024 was the best for my personal taste in Valorant. It’s nice to see great macro Valorant win games. When a team with mid macro and excellent micro beats a team with great micro and macro (I.e. prx beating Fnatic), I just don’t enjoy that. For all the hate that I gave to SEN in 2024, I have to appreciate the Valorant they brought us that year. There were also three 5 map grand finals that year and the meta was genuinely more diverse than 2025
2024, End of era for iconic players and the year where every region equally competitive.
