deltawastaken [#5]GE>Damwon I guess and they were very close to beating F4q
They are already out my friend, unfortunately
what's the basis of this ranking? i don't have an opinion because i haven't sat down and tried to rank them but it seems really difficult to accurately compare teams that have never played one another and basically have no competitive overlap whatsoever
the only relevant context we have between any of these teams is CR destroying HL, and then using the strength of JP->APAC relative to CR

Vivo Keyd also busted Zeta Division lol, and Vikings won X10 2-0, but I didn't rely on past results, but on how I believe these teams would perform against tier 1 teams in an international event, in my opinion Australs would be the best team at the moment by the use of utilities, individual skill, teamplay etc.
sez33 [#12]SA is not a good region no shot botlanders is in top3 rofl disgusting bias
NIP is coming to Brazil next year my friend, mark my words Sweden 🤝 Brazil

yeah i don't mention VK ZD because to me it seems like VK is clearly stronger than the LATAM teams here, whereas CR might actually be similar to the remaining APAC teams + HL is actually currently in the event

Idk, Vivo Keyd beat all these Brazilian teams in their pre-Berlin lower bracket run, but almost all were close games where Heat hardcarry them. In my opinion Vivo Keyd and Vikings are above these teams but not much better than Australs, the same goes for KRU
Wait till the tournament ends to rank the APAC teams at least, it's too hard to rank teams based off of 2 games alone, especially with how inconsistent APAC has been so far
(LATAM and APAC seem like the two hardest regions to overlap imo aswell, so it's hard for me to really have a reasonable opinion)

I haven't seem APAC LCQ so far, how's going?
Putin [#18]Tbh apac have more stratagical gameplay than Brazil
LATAM and BR = firepower and individual skill
APAC = tactical teamplay

That's interesting if you think the gap isn't that large. Then again I expect them to have upgraded further after gaining experience at Berlin, but only time will show that. Comparing teams like this is an pretty tricky thought experiment
Yugure [#19]I haven't seem APAC LCQ so far, how's going?
It's very fun to watch because you never know who will win
Only downside is the amount of toxicity getting thrown around :/
Noyn [#11]Thank you
One thing I would change is NTH over Gamelanders. IK people made the argument than VK stomped Zeta but tbf VK is probably a whole class above a lot of the other SA and APAC teams, like someone below me said. I'm also high on the hopium and want to see Seoldam go brrrrr on LAN. Also Mwzera would be cool at LAN as well. But IMO NTH>GL

Imo rn:
1 KRU
2 Vivo Keyd
3 Vikings
Little Gap
4 Australs
5 Gamelanders
6 Furia
7 Havan Liberty
8 Sharks
Noyn [#23]Accurate
I mean Seoldam and F0rsaken are some examples of exceptions but yea South America and LATAM have better Raw Aim
Yugure [#21]LATAM and BR = firepower and individual skill
APAC = tactical teamplay
Even apac has fire power but they know what leads the team to win

SKRossi is also incredible, Patiphan, JohnOlsen, APAC also have a lot of talent ngl
sez33 [#12]SA is not a good region no shot botlanders is in top3 rofl disgusting bias
Wdym KRU actually did good for a more minor region. (I say minor because it's not like EMEA or NA)
Putin [#28]Even apac has fire power but they know what leads the team to win
Better coaching staff probably
Noyn [#29]SKRossi is also incredible, Patiphan, JohnOlsen, APAC also have a lot of talent ngl
I'm stupid I forgot about global esports. Also I was just thinking about the LCQ and being an idiot but yea APAC has a lot of talent than if developed right can definitely make a tier 1 team worldwide

What? They only beat 2BR teams and a weak looking Zeta in the international scene and even that wasn't decisive.
Noyn [#29]SKRossi is also incredible, Patiphan, JohnOlsen, APAC also have a lot of talent ngl
Tbh seldom is best rifler on jett,john best on overall jett ,skrossi best oper in asia ,patiphan waiting for him from a long time

What I tried to say it's that APAC teams are more "standardized style", they sure have the firepower, but if you lead the teams for the chaos, BR and LATAM teams have more chances to win.

In valo apac is almost equal to EU I mean top apac teams even we saw it already but brazil has very less chance to win ,if ur talking about chaos I can guarantee u have never seen apac lcq

Yea I haven't (literally started to see now), but you NEVER can compare the """"""CHAOS"""""" in APAC LCQ to the VCT BR/SA LCQ.
