Reasons why i think so
Im not saying they arent competitve. Im just saying they are the worst region
since emea's last trophy
emea 2 grand finals (0 wins)
americas 3 grand finals (2 wins)
pacific 4 grand finals (2 wins)
china 1 grand finals (1 win)
Maybe you could say china is worst region but they are defending world champs right now so idk
I would say that the worst region is China (only EDG plays internationally), what there is this season is that in EMEA, Pacific and Americas there is a very large level gap, for example in Americas they are (G2, Sentinels, MIBR and KRU) in Pacific (the 4 Koreans ) and in EMEA (FNATIC, Vitality, KC and Heretics) the other teams in those leagues are very irregular or very bad.
Psd: Why do they put 0-8?
na has one good team and it's a European org. your other two contenders are sa.
also, the NA imports in EMEA literally keep getting farmed... if the orgs all actually took rookies from T2, guaranteed they'd perform better. Just look at CyvOph. Bro looks like the best player on a team with Derke and Less 💀
Everything is on performance of those top teams. Thats why china was the best at champs, cause they won. who cares about having 2 good teams if neither can win yk (I don't know why youre splitting up the Americas to begin with)
As for the americas imports went to EMEA cause they are americas rejects nobody wanted them. koalanoob? only got in cause of Happy nepotism. flyuh? he was DOGSHIT im surprised emea even took him, ones mans trash is another mans treasure I guess. governor? pacific AND americas reject yall looking for scraps. crashies is the goat dont call him bad. florescent? literally the best player on that t2 freemea roster
Crashies is fine but nothing a T2 player couldn't have matched. The only reason he got imported instead of a T2 player picked up is because they were hoping he'd be very temporary and Leo would get to come back, so training the T2 player would be wasted. Of course, that's not what happened.
Flor is easily the best player on Apeks and I wasn't arguing against that incredibly low bar. She's not classed as an import and your government probably doesn't want her back anyway, but yes, she's probably the best option Apeks could've gotten and they're lucky another team wasn't willing to pay her more.
Don't ask me why the fuck koala, flyuh and ESPECIALLY governor are even here, that was literally part of my point. Why they aren't T2 pickups instead only the dumbass orgs know, but they are signed and they are dog.
why did you have to specifically separate NA out as a subregion. Thats like wondering where your African players are at. Also why does org matter that's like saying FPX won masters for china. Also who is getting farmed from Americas besides governer and flyuh maybe saadhak as well, but they other like 5 imports from Americas are doing fine
I picked on NA cuz flag i was replying to.
It's not like wondering where the African players in EMEA are because NA is one of the better funded subregions and there's barely a scene in Africa. Awful comparison.
Org matters because management diff is blatantly obvious. Look at NRG and C9 and tell me their management isn't trolling.
I cover the NA players in #40. sa is excellent talent wise and honestly teams should be poaching their players unless their orgs pull their shit together.
While there are anomalies like furia, you can legit see the lower teams in emea like koi lacking fundamentals. They have legit been peeking 1 by 1 for the last 3 years and have always stayed the same feels like. While the middle-of-the-pack teams just have a bit of firepower and aren't really that special outside of that tbh. Even the top of EMEA is inconsistent; at this moment in time, you can't even really say you're confident an EMEA team can win an international.
