NA fans injected too much copium

Why everyone is talking about EMEA 1 team region when I don't remember anyone saying NA was trash because they had only optic?

Like legit EMEA has some players that can rival their FNATIC counterpart for some positions,

Like sentinel: Alfa is better than nAts/suygetsu but it's close
Duelist: sayf might be as good as Derke, and so on, while throughout all 2022 OpTic had clearly every best NA player for each position and by FAR (only exception might be Victor/Zekken).

And also since 2021 only 2 NA teams won a title but 4 from EMEA? What's the one team region like be for real

chill NA fans are just salty because they cant get all their good players on 1 team

and emea fans need to shut up they're gonna get humbled by my king Kang Kang

ur braindeadge if you think ppl didnt call NA a one team region last yr, everyone knew that no?

this yr is clearly different, emea CURRENTLY only has one team that is by far the best, both itw and from their region, while the rest of their teams are struggling. thats why they r a one team region. americas, or NA in this scenario, showed that they have more than one team capable of becoming the best and both put up great results to prove that. doesn’t mean that things cant change before the end of this yr though :>

agreed every region had a super team that was a one team region, SEN was miles above anyone = one team region. the only era of the game that wasn’t a one team region was acend champs, because emea was just ahead at the time.

I think franchising just pushed the agenda tbh, especially since we saw the worst EMEA teams play NA teams in lock//in, where we never would have seen that before.

I do agree w you tho, I j think it’s more tangible now than ever because of the circumstances

What does the past have to do with the fact EMEA is a 1 team region

You should compare EMEA with the Americas, or EU vs NA.
It makes no sense when you compare a whole region (EMEA) with one country (NA).

When you do the right comparison, it is clear that the Americas is superior to EMEA in terms of competitiveness.

I do agree NA was a one team region in 2022 though 🗿currently the title has moved to emea

NA had Xset???

XSET best placement = top5
This year's non-fnatic EMEA teams = top4 navi in lockin, top5 liquid in tokyo

All they can do is create dumbass narratives to cope. Instead of admitting that an EMEA team is literally dogging on them so hard, they want to steer the conversation towards EMEA having (a tad less) placements than them.

Them we shouldn't be calling EMEA a one team region rather the world a one team scene?

FNC is the mind-killer. FNC is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I, Kang Kang will face FNC. I will permit them to pass over me and through me. And when they have gone past I will turn the inner eye to see their path. Where FNC has gone there will be nothing. Only Kang Kang will remain.

True. imo it's not a player quality problem from a mechanical perspective. I'm hopeful by next season the EMEA teams will overcome many of their reorganization issues and it will be more competitive. And redgar will stop inting and TL will win one finally.

Lock//in
EMEA: top1 and top3-4
AM: top2

Tokyo
EMEA: top1 and top5-6
AM: top2 and top4

Literally no difference. Except for the fact we haven't won anything unlike EMEA. The more we cope, the less we need to improve and actually reach them. If you can't even admit your opponent is better, you are never gonna want to improve beyond his level.
