Emea is the worst region atm. It’s the least competitive and it has been like this for so long. They rely on superteams to win. Did manage to find success w fnatic but it’s been downhill since.
Eh this is completely ignoring the fact that TH ended up second in shanghai and seoul and they were be no means a super team. EMEA looked better than NA for two thirds of 2024
That's just a testament to how bad EMEA has been though, like Heretics this year has not performed at nearly as high of a level as last year and somehow they placed 3rd.
they were pretty good in groups. i think in playoffs trexx and sayf had different philosophical views on how the game should be played which caused them to play poorly against t1.
also i thought tl was pretty solid in bangkok as well.
if you only count the top tier teams who can win a tournament i agree. But the general level of emea is about equal to the average of the other regions. Like liquid were better than sen at bangkok
I think if you ranked all teams in 4 regions you’d have to put almost all of emea in top 30. as a region its the most competitive because any team can beat any other team. Except for apeks of course. Other regions have at least 3 teams that everyone knows aren’t very good at the moment
