I was gone for like 2 weeks on vacation and I return to see this playoffs bracket. What happened?
Where is EU?
Weren't they supposed to be the strongest region by far?
EMEA got absolutely rekt cuz 2 of their best teams are either not in shape / not here. Finally theres no `minor region' as in the top 6, every single region except LATAM was present and it became a literal international tournament in the truest sense. Korea and EMEA was knocked out leaving only APAC JAPAN BRAZIL and NA as the final 4
Going into the top 4 we have Optic vs Loud in the upper finals. Optic while stumbling at their first opponent decided to be god himself and went on an absolute carnage through the group stage into the playoffs. Loud on the other hand defied quite a number of expectations and crushed any doubts that brazil is shit
In the lower finals we have ZETA vs PRX, arguably the most hyped match we have going into the top 4, maybe even the entire tournament. Zeta has been on a cinderella Anime style run, beating many fan-favourites and with the sheer handsomeness of the team, garnered many supporters internationally and and in japan. On the other side we have the pride of APAC, PRX. Probably the most bloodthirsty maniacs in the server, they have played a shit ton of off-meta picks such as Reyna, Yoru, a non-sentinel team comp, and still manage to not just win it all, but also do it so stylishly its like a montage relay... in BLOODY VCT
Also everyone pickems is fucked so ;D
