any doubters?
High in copium.
LATAM has shown a very big leap in skill, micro and macro wise. Take for example E-Xolos Lazer, which took a a series from a 4-3rd contender at Champs. They showed very fresh micros and a good macro game that took KRÜ for surprise, and even took a map from Leviatan, 2nd best team in the region that also had a very big leap forward since the last season after signing Onur, ex KRÜ coach and easily top2 in the world. Needless to say KRÜ has one of the best macro games in the world right now and that without Onur has kept its dominance.
The region may be small in teams that can contest top EMEA teams, but every other region should be scared shitless to face any of the three mentioned in this entry.
