If 2023 EG didnt exist

• NA right now couldve been the only region without a champions trophy (PRX could’ve won the final vs LOUD)
• NA would’ve gotten grouped in Champs LA, our region’s first hosted international tournament
• NRG would’ve been NA’s best team that year (0-4’d grouped in champs by Billy Billy)
• NA for the first time wouldve missed out on not just every top 2 international placement in a year, but also top 3
• NA for the 2nd half of 2023 would’ve been remembered as a region that couldn’t win LCQ vs a team that didn’t win a single map in Champs (KRU), the most embarrassing shit ever
• Brazil > NA would be final
• EU > NA would be final
• APAC > NA would be heavily debated upon
• CN > NA would be a real take now since EDG won Champs
• 2023 would’ve been NA’s worst year by far. Take out OPTIC in 2022 and XSET wouldn’t have been gatekept by OPTIC after Reykjavik

SEN wishes they could be this heroic

I sometimes wake up in a cold sweat dreaming about NA without that EG roster

potter prime zonic levels of greatness that year

True.

Yeah now Imagine if FNATIC didn't existed in 2023 for EMEA
