NA and EMEA have tournament wins, winning multiple masters and champs each and having great international success and great orgs so they're out of the question. Between China and pacific isn't too close imo, China has proved a lot despite being given very little opportunities compared to pacific. They were somewhat in VCT in 2023 but under represented, and desoite EDG being at champs 2022 they had to do a lot to get it. Pacific is just gifted opportunities and have somehow only won 1 major tournament.

I agree that their still a good reigon, every reigon is a good reigon. Pacific could have 100% made top 3 if they were playing at their best, maybe even winning it all. That being said out of all the region's currently, NA and EMEA 100% clear, and China is rapidly improving. Not looking too hot for pacific rn
The issue is that pacific has not had a history of fps games being popular or mainstream so the culture of playing shooting or fps games isn't there. This means that they are less familiar and less skilled at these games, so while there may be people with untapped potential in the region, they don't have access or exposure to these games unlike in the americas or Europe, where these games are a lot more popular. That's why pacific seems to have underdeveloped and less skilled teams, because it's just not as popular especially at the competitive level.
We need more overall consistency for it to be official, if china can always outplace pacific, then we have a talking point. or if china wins a trophy -0-/ in all honesty if china lifts a trophy by next year, they might be the best region considering the opportunity to life one compared to the other regions. otherise in my non bias opinion 1.) AMER 2.) EMEA 3.) APAC 4.) CN
