And why?
Madrid because I have always been a big fan of Mickey Mouse since I was a kid and to be able to see Riot host the event itself is gonna be a pleasure to watch
iceland 2021
first international lan and shroud watch parties were hype af
not the most depth in terms of strats(we will be saying that every year as the games evolves so i don’t think it matters and who cares) but it holds a special place in my heart.
Probably Champs 2023 for me. I really only watched Valorant that much last year and Champs felt the most competitive of all the tournaments last year. I was also an EG believer once they beat C9 in Americas playoffs, and seeing them win was very satisfying.
Lock-in was mad hype:
First tournament of the franchised era
Every team was at the tournament
Win or go home
Best Game/Final in Valorant history
Fnatic winning it all
Masters Copenhagen is by far the most underrated event imo and would be 2nd place for me
Champions 2021, got to see some amazing storylines (espc for me)
Masters Shanghai because Furia was the first team to do a reverse sweep in a Masters GF.
