Looks like JP REGION

is the easiest region and crazy racoon 100% winrate for JP to masters LAN yet again and making JP as waste slot and will dissapointed stuck being free win for other teams in groups . EMEA winning champions and lost 1 spot for this LUL

zeta will make it this time

Crazy Racoon just won 1 game since champions lol, its a bit soon to say that

Tbh if the viewership stays the same expect JP to rise as a region maybe in 2 years they can compete

zeta has some ex-northeption guys and are looking like strong contenders for a master spot and they don't even have a single import

hot take (not really) but they’re going to become the only region that NA can beat

also most fps esports viewers from EU are still watching CSGO so give it some time. japan has more viewership rn so for a developing esports its more valuable to get more fans than have better competitive integrity. RITO knows what theyre doing.

just chill, zeta is best in jp rn...and they are gonna play better than previous global tourneys for sure
IGZ , DNGW CR AND ZETA are top teams rn....but still DNGW and IGZ can improve a lot.

ZETA looks like the strongest team rn. Pure JP team, and picked up the stronger pieces from other teams.

CR is still closely behind, with Sengoku, SCARZ and IGZIST thereafter.

Bb with something and kr1stall gonna make it to masters

Insomnia brought CR to 3rd map, so idk if CR will be as strong with the roster change. We'll have to wait and see until they face off against a better JP team.

Idk about that. Emea challengers already peaked at 220k on the first gameday

Japanese games hasn't been streamed yet.

But once the streams start, Japan is gonna get the ground running with viewership.

You make it sound like having a free win team for other region is bad. It’s not like we have 2 slots either. Japanaese teams lose games but they also occasionally play close games (GMB vs CR, Zeta vs Kru).

They are definitely the weakest region that has automatic qualification I’ll give you that.
