"Champs most valuable trophy"

When so far Loud is the only Champs winning team that A) played consistently throughout their whole year and B) didn't shortly disband or fall off a cliff

Acend was the biggest fluke win OAT starxo is the only relevant player from that roster today
EG played well for 6 months, the only players who weren't on jail teams in 2024 were Boostio and C0M the 2 shitters, and only Ethan and Jawg have remained relevant in 2025
EDG literally shat themselves all year only to coast off of Neon meta and then crumble and miss their first international event ever the next year
Now we're watching NRG gradually decline over the course of stage 1

Any time someone says Champs is the only relevant player achievement I die a little inside

Masters is even worse brother, the winner of masters 1 is so ass every year (T1 AND NS).

Don't forget Sen after kickoff in 2024 where they barely qualified for champs and only then did they start looking good again.

Franchise only + Lock in is not a masters, so my narrative is good.

People just rate champs highly so they can force wank players into convos they don't belong in (not talking about less)

acend win was not a fluke gng

not even close to the biggest fluke

also Nbs (100T), Starxo (KOI, M8), and cNed (NAVI, FUT, PCIFIC) have been relevant since

Gambit, TH and FNC all made multiple grand finals and played more consistently than the Champs winners within their year and OpTic were arguably the team of their year

PRX and FNC are 2 of if not the most consistent teams of all time in Valorant

great now please tell me what have they done the following year? OPTC core, PRX and TH all performed below expectations (not as much on PRX they did okay)

unlike the mighty masters winners:

sen reykjavik = team became mid immediatly after, by the next year half the team retired and the other half was so bad they had to bring FOUR new players for 2023
gambit = will not talk about it because of the unfortunate circumstances
optic reykjavik = by the next year the biggest star was in bottom T2 and the rest was getting fucked by a chinese shotgun raze TWICE but at least they reached a champs final in the mean time (but they were getting fucked by a brazilian flying jett twice too)
fpx = chamber era merchants entire team was bad by a few months
fnc = the good one
sen madrid = lol
geng shangai = LOL
T1 = LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
PRX = the mvp was f0rsaken. not implying anything

I really don't understand the point of treating masters and champions differently

the competition and teams are the exact same, the only difference is prize money and a different title
