China and Pacific are clearly progressing much faster than the other two region. It won’t be much time until the Valorant pro scene turns into another game dominated bay China and the Pacific. The talent is just not their in Americas or Emea
might be a schizo theory, but I think that the talent in Americas and EMEA is just as good but it's just spread out. There is 6 NA teams in VCT, all of them fight for the same talent pool. in EMEA 11/12 teams are inteernational and speak english, they fight for the same talent pool. In Pacfiic there are like 3-4 subregions and they fight for different talent pools, therefore all subregions gather the best teams
EMEA is on it lowest point right now but I believe they will bounce back with the shuffle this year, they are on the right track by bring tier 2 prospects. Regardless budget, Every team is trying their best
But I feel like America is fucked, Amer have a lot of team happy to be there like EG MIBR C9, they don’t have intention to build a solid roster. So they are heavily relying on Sen Lev, G2, etc.
NA is looking at its strongest this year
EMEA already has the talent but they finally have more than Ange1 in terms of good IGLs
GenG was a superteam and they already look like they're being broken apart. China might win again but I don't think EDG can replicate their performance consistently--especially since I think riot's probs gonna nerf Neon in the coming year
