why is the best team in NA always automatically judged as the best team itw in every international event?? NA was no where close to winning the past 2 events.
scorch_56 [#6]Shanghai top 3/4
Champs top 3/4
If that isn't close then what is.
anything under grandfinals is not close bro
supr [#8]anything under grandfinals is not close bro
always 2 na teams in top4 in madrid,shanghai and seoul as well
scorch_56 [#6]Shanghai top 3/4
Champs top 3/4

3 and 4 is not the same thing
Divine_Thunder [#9]always 2 na teams in top4 in madrid,shanghai and seoul as well
wow na is really good at being above average!
sussybaka [#10]idk bro go ask your fellow americans
getting sick of these delusional narratives "G2 PLAYING PERFECT VALORANT EVERY MEMBER IS PERFECT GONNA WIN BANGKOK EASILY" bs
scorch_56 [#6]Shanghai top 3/4
Champs top 3/4

So top 2 is 1 Asia/cn team and 1 EMEA team. Always put Americas team 3rd. Got it.

Bigfish [#17]americas is the most stacked region, and has the loudest fans btw i dont agree that the best team of americas is always best itw but i do think overall americas is most stacked.
emea easily has the most stacked region, teams who placed last in emea like karmine corp and navi can easily beat mibr who got 3rd
highlyte [#21]while Americans underestimate themselves LMAO
ngl ive seen more people not from ameircan dick ride american teams harder than americans (cough sen fans)
NA isn't the loudest at internet.
It's a very simple effect that I will explain:
So, since most of vlr is yankies, what they say will be sold as truth, since for many people "More upvotes = truth".
And since every single country understand english, and not many Portuguse or Mandalarian, the americans overrating will be spread to all regions.
(You can add a addictional fact that every single main event in gaming is hosted in English, so people is kinda forced to learn if they doesn't know English)
bonkashi [#4]north americans are just the loudest people on the internet
As a North American I agree

you do understand NA stands for north america right?
Not giving any takes on teams or region rankings, but I think its because Valorant esport platforms are pretty NA biased for most part. Its the most popular region, most clout and theres a lot of Americans in ValComp Reddit and even here. Those more clouted teams also have bunch of fans from other regions. And that's why also NA scene and teams usually get the most focus from content creators as well and glazing.
I've also noticed that at least in my opinion the attitude towards different regions has always been bit different. IMO EMEA teams get criticized by far the most. Everything bad is being highlighted while good stuff is usually understated. I think the overall attitude towards Americas and even Pacific has always been more positive. You can even just listen to the casters where in EMEA its usually more "goofy" and casters laughing at bad plays while in Americas even relatively simple stuff is treated as some insane play. I think that's been the case since start of the game and that's why I think EMEA casters are kind of meh and not that professional.

That’s how I feel about people acting like EDG is a top 3 team itw just because of a fluke run at champs. NA has consistently had a team in the top 4 at every event except lock in and champs 21. There’s at least a track record to backup confidence in NA. EDG hype is literally just overhyping them because of 1 miracle run with the most wide open meta heading into a champs ever.

LMAO. Can’t wait for masters to start. I’ve been an EDG fan since east Asia LCQ before champs 22. But realistically EDG is REALLY being overrated. If GenG was here and had all 5 from last year, id rate them along side vit and g2. But they didn’t stick together. APAC looks a bit weaker than last year (will find out). And China looks a bit stronger as a region than last year. Like I think trace is the best 2nd seed chinas ever sent. But EDG has a track record of not having enough to beat the top teams from other regions. Other than champs where they had a good read on a brand new map in the pool (abyss). A map that doesn’t look strong for them now that teams have a better read on the meta. And they were able to abuse neon meta which very much complimented their aggro/brawl heavy playstyle. I like EDG and especially KK. But I just really think it’s stupid that people think they’ve suddenly ascended to S tier when nobody would put them above low A tier prior to champs. I haven’t seen anything from them to make me think it’ll be any different from every tournament EDG attended from champs 22 to masters Shanghai.
Personally, it's the first event I say that. EMEA have a lot of rebuild, China beside EDG is a little bit shaky, and APAC is intresting, but G2 where amazingly impressive, they had an amazing teamplay and a lot of firepower, I come from LoL so i'm a NA hater, but for this masters NA look amazing, while EMEA look absolutely garbage (Even if I trust VIT to progress for Champions)
lalalalalala [#18]why is an indian dick riding NA
because i support a na team? 😭 why is it so tough to understand
Chikenwarrior23 [#29]you do understand NA stands for north america right?
by na generally everyone means american teams which also has south americans also so i answered considering that
lalalalalala [#19]emea easily has the most stacked region, teams who placed last in emea like karmine corp and navi can easily beat mibr who got 3rd
