Champs this year is boring compared to last year. There is no Ardiss or Egay trash talkers so games are less spicy.

It's probably more because the teams that qualified don't have the biggest fan bases either so the fan trash talk is less too.
Like in EMEA, Fnatic is big and FUT has a big regional following and Heretic's have definitely grown but nobody really cares about Vita. In Americas I feel like Sen is the only team with a large fanbase that made it in altho I assume Kru has a big regional fanbase. I imagine China is all about EDG and FPX, the other 2 aren't exactly big internationally.
APAC is probably the region with the biggest teams for once as everyone knows GenG, DRX, PRX and Talon likely have a regional following I assume.
