America's team's core have always been good while EMEA's team's cores fall off after the year they play good in. LOUD, OPTIC, and GUARD core have all done pretty decent over the years in 2023 and 2024 while EMEA on the other hand teams like ACEND, GMB, FPX, and FNC all fall off the year after they do well in. Only exception is SEN but they fell off after the first event.
