Antwerp Major 2022

Community Reaction 

Many users believe that the current form of the medal distribution system needs revamping. The main complaint is that the gold medal is too easy to obtain, while the diamond one is almost impossible. 

Some users think the problem lies not so much with Valve's system but with major teams losing unexpectedly. However, there is an opinion that this complicates predictions, making them more random. At the same time, part of the community expressed dissatisfaction that the current format relies too much on luck rather than analysis or strategy.

Conclusion

With each major, earning the diamond medal becomes more challenging due to strong competition. While in 2022 a victory by FaZe was expected, for example, in 2024 in Copenhagen, a victory by NAVI was a shock to everyone and a pleasant surprise.
