most underrated team in each region and why?

#1

Americas: C9 (i hate the org, but we all know the storyline. they make shitty decisions in the off season, everyone writes them off, then they just dominate domestically right until the final hurdle where they just crumble. the question is whether they can FINALLY qualify for an international this time.)
CN: Nova (started to look pretty decent at the end of last year, have only looked better in the off season, swerl is the most underrated player in the entire CN scene rn)
EMEA: KOI (i dont think they will qualify for an international, but this team has the potential to punch above its weight domestically, could see them qualify for playoffs once or twice)
Pacific: DFM (underrated? not sure, seems to be alot of hype around this roster but whatever. they kept what made the roster good cough cough meiy and then they added some pretty good supporting players around him. could be the year where japanese valorant becomes more than just zeta)

would replace c9 with 100T, they won stage 1 and got 4th in shanghai and retained everyone except for bang

i was considering them but i dont necessarily think they are being underestimated. i think they were slightly forgotten about in terms of being good cause they didnt qual for champs but when people look at the team, i think they know that at the very least they will be a solid team domestically

ive heard good things about them, tbf tho i dont keep up emea as much cause their games are at 3am for me and i already put too much effort into pacific and china mostly, with the remainder of my time going to americas

from what I heard Click, RobbieBk, and ofc Zyppan are very good pickups.

but I also liked that they kept K4davra and picked up Minny as well :)

very happy to see them doing well against the strong teams (well, only TH for now, but that was also in a showmatch......)

i love them but you’re right, they’ve only looked good in the offseason playing with their sub instead, but the team has definitely improved compared to 2023 and 2024

In APAC prolly secret is the most under rated rn, their previous year roster changes were good and people predicted them to make it champs, then even beat geng in stage 2 but choked hard against talon , they haven't made any roster changes this year but it's like people have given up on them and they have been the most silent this off season , literally no body has got anything to say abt them

considering they just released their coach, idt they are making Pacific playoffs, probably losing that spot in the final match of Split 2
