They aren't, new rosters take time before results happen. You can't expect a new team to hop in and start dominating especially when the format is only BO1s

Valorant desperately needs to update the format because you have teams flying out only to lose two BO3's and get sent home. If you only have a limited number of international events, more games need to be played. Swiss stage would be the best and you could easily do BO3's for it due to the shorter game times. Only problem is Riot loves their single stream and watch parties instead of running multiple games at once, so instead of maximizing top teams at the event, they cut teams to improve production times and instead end up with a crappy format.

There is good talent working with both games, that much can be agreed upon. However, the Riot analyst desks are very informal and the casters do tend to hype up moments that are not hype worthy. I think Riot could learn from the setups that CS tournaments have and try to emphasize a bit more professionalism for the Masters Events and get some analysts on desk that know the game inside out instead of talking heads who dump on NA (see all desk sets from last Masters). Pansy and Hypoc/Upmind and Sully come to mind as great duos who really take it above the rest, and the rest of the Val scene should try and reach their level.
