Why doesn't VAL produce teams like T1 in LoL or VIT in CS?
Not a single team has made it to Champions grand final for two consecutive years.
I had high hopes for NRG, but given the current situation, I can’t say they’ve lived up to them.
VAL champion teams lack consistency.

Idk about LoL Valorant has a way more unstable meta than CS it's way more difficult to maintain consistency in a game that could release or buff a macro altering agent like Tejo, Yoru or Neon that destroys your entire stratbook every like 3-4 months
why doesnt a 6 year old game have as much development as a 17 year old and 26 year old game ??
T1 won back-to-back WCS titles in 2015 and 2016, and finished as runners-up in 2017. This was about six years after the game’s release, and there isn’t much difference between it and the current version of VAL.
a team could win Champs 2026, 2027 and 2028 back to back rn and it would work
Because there hasnt been a single good team that has won champs and stayed together
ACEND - bums
LOUD - disbanded
EG - disbanded
EDG - bums
NRG - s0m left and bums
LOUD could've, 1st in 22 and 3rd in 23 with two large downgrades but i guess we'll never know for certain
You might need to look outside just LoL and there are pretty much rarely games that did that. CS should be Astralis if you want to compare but DoTA 2 for example rarely has consecutive T1 for nearly a decade before OG. It's not only about consistency but game elements, right moments, and most importantly great lineup too. Still, Valorant produce quite a lot of consistent team.
Currently, I think PRX is the most consistent but not dominated like LOL T1 no? They are not Champions but they pretty much are king without trophies.
I think FS might be another one soon if they can maintain their strategy and T1 actually would be if they evolved by letting players play many Agent and don't scare of losing in Group Stage. FNC will also come back to be a consistent one once their lineup stabilize, and G2 likely will be as their identity stabilized.
Honestly, this makes Valorant more fun than CS. Meta's change and we get to see new comps and variety of different styles of gameplay from ALL Regions.
Same things being repeated every year gets boring quick.
The variety and flexible changes in Valorant also helps New Pros and New Teams/Orgs(Roster changes*) bring more hype into the VCT scenes as well.
