Reaction from the community

Many players believe that the current medal distribution system needs to be reformed. The main complaint is that the gold medal is too easy to achieve, while the diamond medal is almost impossible.

Some people believe that the problem is not with Valve's system but with the fact that strong teams often lose unexpectedly. However, there are also opinions that this makes prediction more difficult and random. At the same time, part of the community is unhappy that the current format relies too much on luck instead of analysis or strategy.

Conclude

Through each Major, winning a diamond medal becomes more and more difficult due to fierce competition. If in 2022, FaZe's victory was predicted, then in Copenhagen in 2024, NAVI's victory was a shock to everyone and brought a pleasant surprise.
