I'm mainly an NA watcher, but I was wondering what they main differences you noticed between NA, EU, and APAC gameplay and strats.
From other e-sports, I've noticed different regions often are more or less aggressive or play a specific meta.
Atkiin [#2]idk but apac w key
Isn't that strange given how much they practice? You'd think they'd find some optimal strat.
NA is more chaotic and relies on heroics from star players. This is because NA has the best duelists in the league.
EMEA is slower paced, util-heavy, heavily strategy based. This is because EU has the best Sentinels/Initiators
APAC is very very heavy on teamwork and is a mix of both aside from some outliers (PRX). For example, Gen G look like a fucking unit out there. As if everyone was being controlled by the same person.
I have no clue about China

This feels the closest to being true. I remember watching GENG this past year and they are like a machine. Still, I feel like G2 matches that level of locked-in.

i mean it works well for them. prx are always up there and geng won masters
apac is aggro/execute heavy prefers flexibilty
EU is slow/mid round heavy prefers standard play (even there yoru stuff fits in cause they usually play him for flashes)
NA is a execute heavy default style prefers consistent roles somehow more chaos than apac
CN hasn't developed a style but seems similar to apac(prx in specific) but they LOVE THE AWP and weird comps
not exactly sure but
APAC = super aggressive, definitely not afraid to experiment with comps (GENG running astra on breeze, any PRX comp lol), aim demons + nice team play at times
EU = used to be super slow and methodical with good trap plays, but I feel this year they've been more aggressive and more experimental with comps (TH running Neon before buffs, teams trying Yoru on Split, etc.)
NA = tend to play closest to the accepted "meta" i guess when compared to the other regions
To be fair I mainly watch NA so sample size of games is low for other regions so I could be completely wrong.
NA = run, gun and pray. just a block with 5 individuals running together and entering a bombsite. close to zero tactics involved but atleast good coordination on utility usage
EMEA = best region in the game, S tier tactics and kind of slow gameplay.
Brazil = very similiar to EMEA
i dont watch apac enough
