LEV for sure, wdym NS had a better year
NS fell off a cliff in stage 1
NS have had less domestic success and the same number of titles
NS are guaranteed for champs, LEV are not
better to have this discussion when stage 2 is done imo
ns won kickoff, are top 3 stage 2 minimum, and won a intl trophy
results wise they have objectively had a better year. Regional and international trophy with better average placements
NS have had less domestic success
Won one of the 3 splits, and has better average placement
Well tbf lev has a not so good kickoff. Yes, they played with a sub, but results are still results, just because they played with a sub doesn’t mean their result shouldn’t be counted for this comparison. NS also dominated santiago while lev had to do lowers run (tho one can argue a lowers run is more impressive). And lev were also eliminated in stage 2 at 5th while NS is guaranteed 3th, (although americas is a top-heavy region tho, i’ll give them that)
I'm not considering kickoff since that isn't even the same team (and kickoff is kinda mickey), but fair reasoning
depends on how much you weigh ewc and the 2nd tournament of the year vs the 1st but i'd say ns
masters 1 was a 12 team masters, u cant really discount it anymore
in every metric ns has had a better year, even if you discount EWC
First master still is very early in the year when teams aren't properly settled and meta isn't as pronounced. Normally in a vct year teams are at their best around 2nd masters or champs.
Anyway I too agree ns has had a better year mainly cause of their regional performance compared to lev.
lev play ethical valorant ns are nothing without neon yoru
so obviously ns have had a better season because this whole year is cancer
Nongshim won kickoff, won their masters more dominantly, went to EWC and now are top 3 guaranteed in stage 2
LEV peaked at the right time, farmed bot lobbies in stage 2, lost to NRG, got whooped by 100T, and got whooped on 2/3 maps by an out-of-form G2
