I'm NGL, I'm super impressed with the improvement of FPX. Obviously, we'll need to watch the rest of swiss and playoffs but if DRG, FPX, or EDG perform well, I'll be convinced that this will be another Asian run esport.
Pacific already looks scary. Gen G, DRX, and PRX are amongst the top teams in the world. Once China's strats, and discipline get honed it might be wraps for NA/EMEA. At least for the next few internationals. These regions are already looking shaky. If APAC can get over the chokes and CN improves, GG.
If APAC specifically doesn't win an event this year, they are shit. The road is so clear for them.
