Japan

Insanely crazy that JP used to be by far the worst region in the world, and now they are actually really good and have shown they aren't just a one team region in Zeta, but have actual depth in teams like Northeption. Let's see if Northeption can make an insane run through masters like Zeta

I don't think they'll make top 4 but I also think they'll get some wins. Remember before Zeta, Japan hadn't won a SINGLE series at international events.

Japan now definitely has more competition than Korea, Brazil, and Latam

just making playoffs is what I think should be the goal for Northeption, it will be difficult considering the talent coming from the other regions, but it's definitely not impossible.

Brazil would be an insane region if their teams could actually form strats instead of running around like its a ranked game

I totally agree, and I wish them the best

They are still by far the worst region though. Zeta is a fluke team couldn’t even make it to masters again 😹

DRX owns your 100T anyday.
DRX is the only team that can defeat themselves

If 100T was in Korea they would absolutely dominate the region

average albanian

japan as a region is still pretty bad lmao

either Northeption proof that they are actually a good team that are able to make it to playoffs or they are just going to become Crazy Racoon 2.0 where a Japanese team carried by two Korean players and a Korean coach failed at international level.

Kr > jp still.
It's getting close though

I mean tbf, Japan objectively has better competition than DRX and the team which didn't make it to Copenhagen also beat them. Cope?

ZETA is better than DRX and Japan has better competition so objectively JP > KR
