EG should win because if a 4th EU team shows to Champs it would be the biggest waste of a slot ever. id rather riot just give China another unearned freebie than see another EU team at Champs
TL NAVi and FUT weren’t able to beat a single Pacific/Americas team
Overall, Americas is much stronger with more depth we saw that at Lock in
Also the last time an NON-FNC EMEA team has beaten NA was at Xset vs FPX at Champs
Overall, Americas has dominated EMEA recently
I’m using international results to justify my argument, not domestic results
i swear people like u are just so lost on what matters, u refused to answer the question with mindless facts about regions and current performance, while also acting as though it was relevant to what i said, didn't answer the question i asked and genuinely still think u have an argument, but i'll entertain it anyway
Argument 1, "TL Navi and Fut weren't able to beat a single pacific/america's team" 1st of all, TL played EG who currently look 2nd/3rd best in the world due to standings, same with NRG who they played lower bracket, Same exact thing happened with FUT only they had to play EG and then DRX, 2 world class S tier teams, Same exact thing happened with navi only they were playing against EDG instead of an S tier team, a team which is prep heavy went against a team they have seen legitimately nothing of because they are a completely new team, u can argue that Navi just played badly as well, everyone has off days fair enough
the argument that "America's in much stronger with more depth" may be true, but once again, the evidence that u use to corroborate that is the 2nd and 3rd best team ITW right now beat them.
u can say whatever u want as proof, but try to make evidence that actually makes any logical sense at all in the future, it took me 10 minutes of research to break your points in 2 and make them invalid.
i could on top of this all argue the NRG excuse that "lock/in wasn't valid event bc no one could prep for it" but of course someone who supports NA wouldn't want to bring up the fact that their own "best team in the region right now" was arguing because they couldn't prep for an event, if u only look at facts from 1 side, u will get a 1 sided opinion, that's how it works
i also did some extra research and it showed the "no emea team other than fnatic has beaten NA" but navi made it to top 4 of lock/in so clearly they beat some NA teams given some weren't in top 4, like the logic is just sad at that point, it doesn't matter what region u play against, u win or lose games, it's that simple, this whole "region is better" is just people who have way too much external pride due to their region rather than actually just supporting a team and sticking with them.
As of right now yes, they were no doubt the best region before but this masters has shown that NA diffs EU as far as depth of the region. EG was a nobody a month ago, and they beat Liquid and FUT. They almost beat FNC, so it shows in the results. C9, M80 prolly win these games too.
It's ok to cope EU, you still have the #1 team but not region itw.
The main issue if EMEA wins is that quite literally every other team would be better off quitting LCQ since it will 100% be Giants and Navi. BBL, Heretics, Koi, and KC are 4 of the bottom 7 teams in Franchising. At least in Pacific we could get some cool shit from Zeta, Gen.G, GE or Talon to pop out of nowhere and challenge secret. But in AM, C9 is a masters level team already, it'd be awesome to see Sen battle Furia or Lev to see who is the best team after C9.
You say that but if navi play as bad as they were playing at masters anything can happen don’t forget eg were once thought of as the one of the worst teams in franchising and look at them now all the emea teams have at least 1 or 2 great individual player or players on their team if they start actually using these players right you never know what could happen.
I mean look at koi their team is stacked sheydos, starxo and trexx as well as a pretty good igl and a duelist that is when he’s playing his best he is actually pretty decent as well if they sort out their role issues I guess is what I would call it and start to work as a team they should be pretty good
Factual and reasonable. We have created a super team in EMEA at the cost of rest of the region being worse than Tier 3 Americas. At this point, I would rate the Americas league to be more prestigious and valuable than Masters or even Champs because honestly only top tier teams they are missing is Fnatic and maybe PRX.
