Look at there games, i doubt other 9 teams will be even able to compete at Tokyo.
They should only send Loud to Tokyo and save embarassment.

I think FNATIC is the best team itw right now, but other than them, Americas are way stronger.

Did you forget NAVI upgraded with cNed? Adding a World Champion Duelist replacing Ardiis?

Yea ig NaVi is good, but other than that EMEA is weak

You said Fnatic then said but other than them and now you changing the goal post again. Fraud.

The worst team in the Americas almost beat LOUD. Everyone in our region is good and plays each other close

🤣 will comeback to this after tokyo
Chikenwarrior23 [#18]tf is americas without loud
There are many teams in the Americas at a similar level as LOUD which is why the Americas are the strongest. Can’t say the sane about FNATIC and DRX in their regions though

Its true though, the number 10 team can have close games with the number 1 team unlike Pacific and EMEA

it does not matter that they are on a similar level if top emea is above that level
plus i disagree that they are on a similar level, not only are they undefeated they are also playing irrelevant games so they are saving strats

Top EMEA is not above that level though. Americas were 6-0 against EMEA teams not named NaVi or FNATIC at LOCK IN.
Just proves the depth of our region

Both of these teams are going to be Top 2 from EMEA so you can't avoid them
Shownu [#33]Both of these teams are going to be Top 2 from EMEA so you can't avoid them
I agree the top 2 of EMEA are better than most Americas teams.
Other than those 2, all of the Americas teams clear EMEA
Americas depth >

1st of all you can't just take out 2 teams out of the equation and compare it to your full region
and those 2 teams (that are top emea) beat furia, lev, sen, 100t, kru and loud, wich you said that they are all in a similar level.
so how is top emea not btr than top Americas when none of your teams that are all in a "similar level" (so its not like we did not play your best teams) could beat top emea?

Ok fine. Take top 2 teams out of EMEA and top 2 teams out of Americas and Americas still clear easily. FNATIC and NaVi are the only EMEA teams that can beat Americas teams.
Im not saying top Americas is better than top EMEA
Im saying Americas has more depth

ok fine in since you don't want to compare top competition (wich makes no sence cause if our best teams beat your best then we will just win) then we will also compare tier 2 teams, college teams, ranked players, casual players.
u see where im getting with this, it does not matter that our bottom feeders lose to yours cause in the end if we have btr teams (even if just 2) we will just win the tournaments, no one is going to care if your mid teams lose in early playoffs and our mid teams lose at groups

Reading comprehension? This person’s post was implying that the Americas have no depth and I was simply proving him wrong. Also, if you want to compare top teams I would say Americas and EMEA are pretty equal. Americas has LOUD, NRG, C9 and EMEA has FNC, and NaVi imo.

KOI beats NAVI and BBL took a map off of FNC
GE and RRQ have close games with DRX
your point?

Fnatic had a sub

that's when KOI weren't trolling and NAVI were trolling
FNC had a sub, + BBL is good people just don't realize
DRX haven't been as consistently good since adding in Foxy9, and both GE and RRQ have had meteoric rises in form
your arguments are fundamentally flawed brother

So if its Americas, they are good because they went toe-to-toe against LOUD in a fucking group stage? And if its EMEA and APAC, they are bad because X team trolling/X team had a sub/X team have had meteoric rises in form?
Have you ever considered that LOUD might be trying some stuff knowing that they are already playoff-bound? <-- my point
🤦🏻♂️
p1lot [#36]we can all agree that VCT DRX is the worst
Either a big dark horse happens or it's going to be Drx beating everyone in the vct pacific playoff

and I quote: "Americas other than LOUD is weak"
that is a similar claim but not the same as "LOUD is trying some stuff", so don't try to backtrack on your original claim
i also never claimed anything about LOUD or other Americas teams. I was disputing your points about EMEA/APAC. don't put words in my mouth

took you long enough to come up with this, you seem smart enough to understand the importance of context in a conversation
dapada [#66]took you long enough to come up with this, you seem smart enough to understand the importance of context in a conversation
not on this forum often enough to hold a consistent debate
regardless, this discussion is pointless. the only point I was debating was your argument that EMEA/APAC had close games between presently high and low seeds due to there being a similar level of team across the regional board. i never made a claim about LOUD - point being, context can be crucial to a conversation, but in this case, I came in to debate you solely on your perspective on EMEA/APAC, not Americas.
if we want to get into that - EMEA>Americas>APAC when it comes to team quality, Americas inconsistent as fuck (NRG and Cloud9 are on the up, LOUD is undefeated but look shaky in every win), EMEA teams are semi-consistent, but top teams seem to show greater consistency (FNC, FUT, Giants before yesterday), APAC... after this morning, I don't know what to think
Shownu [#4]Good thing Fnatic took a seed away from Nearest Airport.
Bro it literally doesn't matter because all the EMEA teams apart from fnatic and navi are washed. Tokyo will quite literally be loud vs fnatic vs navi vs maybe drx and maybe c9.
Ofcourse its a fnatic bandwagoner talking. Chill buddy fnatic won a tournament with single elim no, no vods, new meta. Fnatic going undefeated in emea doesn't prove shit. NRG, C9, LOUD will shit on fnatic in tokyo.
"Look at their matches". You know emea league is shit when a team like KC can win 2 matches and your 3rd best team Giants lost to heretics? KEKW.
