lmao you're not slick trying to convince yourself india can replicate these results with your generalized phrasing
LMAO you really dug deep for this one.
I am not convincing anyone, It's just that people rate teams even before they have had a chance to play.
This is Paper Rex's first stint internationally and people assumed that they are one of the worst teams here. They lost 2-0 but at least they showed that they deserve to be here.
Same for India. It's not an Indian team's fault for not going international before this. There are tournaments every week and at least a dozen proper teams in India. Judging from the population on this website and viewership breakdown in general, India is also one of the biggest regions, It's just Riot who wants to suck up to China instead of fairly distributing slots.
I will repeat, I am not convincing anyone when I say this because I know Indian teams have done it before. An Indian team went against prime time NIP (your flair, you must know it) in the 2014 CS major and faced a respectable loss. Losing like that to the best team in the world with no international experience is very good for a first attempt and that was back when no one even gave a shit about esports. Given how NIP went to beat other teams without any competition suggests that Indian teams could have done better than a lot of the teams there. They just had bad seeding going against NIP in a Bo1 in the first round itself.
Ohh and did I mention PRX is SEA no.2 seed and also, the best teams in SEA are not even playing here because Patiphan is injured and Bren could not make it? Indian teams scrim PRX Bren and X10 regularly beating them a few times as well. Well, I agree that's scrimbux, and yes they don't matter much also, most probably not gonna happen in a tournament, but this is just to let you know there will not be a day-night difference between the two.
I don't think it is correct to overhype or underhyped any region if they haven't even been given a chance yet. That being said think what you want.
