fuck them casters

minor region idc about the outcome, but this masters and the previous show that, all the teams are macthed evnly.If not even the skill gap is not that big they only watch and breathe na/emea valorant then br,apac, come slapping no they are not the minor region you are just ignorant

i mean only NA and EMEA won/made finals apperances last year

you do know that minor region refers more to the player and viewer base rather than the skill base. They arent even hating they are legit praising the team for having less of a talent pool to pull from yet they are succeeding. Actual 2head take.

bro them casters just be saying shit randomly with no sense at all lmao

it's not ignornce, champs and runner ups last year were all NA/EMEA teams, this masters is the turning point or it should be the turning point where regions like APAC/BR gets a deserved recognition

I thought minor region was more based off history in genres esport. Mainly as Japan is classed as a minor region, yet has one of the strongest viewer bases.

Well that's how I saw it. idk if there's a distinct definition of what's reffered to as a minor region.

I may be wrong, but hasn't Riot themselves used "minor region" as a technical term in the past to refer to LATAM, JP, etc.?

its a bit of both
they have to play through a gauntlet to qualify and also get fewer slots hence minor.

again they always say minor region in apac there are much more teams than any region the competion is the toughest here for any team to qualify

which region has more viewrs apac let be real here

If you want to google and check the facts in 2021 NA alone made up 42% of the entire viewership with EMEA and Brazil taking up like 38% so ya LATAM and APAC are most definitely minor viewership regions and the majority of APAC viewership is all in Japan anyway not the actual APAC teams that do well. Once again I'm not hating on them at all, their success is pretty amazing considering that they have less ppl and competition for local scrims.

That's true.

I always saw small regions as underdeveloped in the scene. Like KR and SEA were small regions in Cs, or siege. Until they became more known, and had some achievments behind their region. Brazil was like that for the first few years in siege. Was considered a minor region until they caught up with EU/NA.

I'm just glad SEA have shown they are on the same level as EU and NA. So many good storylines are being made by this. Been getting bored of the whole EU/NA> other regions. A competitive game on an international level is far more enjoyable, than having csgo2.0
