This lan will have a non NA/EU winner

The competition this lan is so good, meanwhile NA/EU look worse than before, with the exception of Fnatic.

It may go to LOUD, it may go to paper rex, maybe DRX but I do think a different region will win this one

hey man no one expected them to make top 4 last time so hopefully they could improve

zeta also got 3rd, and got beat by Northeption. I wonder if northeption can do the same things that zeta did last time

i'll be the first to admit as someone that keeps up with the JP scene and actually likes zeta that their run was extremely lucky

their matches consisted of:

the only good KR team (dropped every map)
3rd place EMEA with two emergency subs and their only good player gone
no name BR team
G2 aka their first opponent that wasn't a bunch of nobodies (dropped every map)
EMEA team that wasn't even supposed to be there
the same KR team after their mental was already destroyed by optic
PRX after already being scrim partners and knowing how they play (aka the only thing you actually need to beat PRX lmao)
optic aka their second opponent that wasn't a bunch of nobodies (dropped every map)

notice how every time they won it was either another rando team or they got lucky with the circumstances
at least loud (and to an extent PRX) won sets against actual teams without other factors outside the game coming into play

It will be a shift in the paradigm…. After this masters EU /NA will no longer be top dogs… they are losing dominance and influence

DRX never disappoints me when it comes to throwing and choking. I have no hope for DRX but PRX yeh. Since 100T is not at the event, I don't really have fav other than OpTic (cuz of Yay and fns) and FNC ( Cuz of boaster)

DRX chokes all the time
PRX's aggression depends on them being a dark horse (or fighting against shit teams) and they already lost that
xerxia hasn't done anything despite 4/5 of their players being at every major event together under x10
KRU's champions run was a fluke
leviatan and northeption are first-timers (although northeption looks interesting judging from their set against zeta, looking forward to watching them even if they don't win)
the only one with a fighting chance is loud

yes. PRX's matches in APAC and MYSG were barely even competitive except against xerxia in challengers 1. then they won against NA/EMEA teams because they didn't respect their aggression (which is the one thing you need to do to counter their style other than being good at the game). the reason they lost against DRX and zeta is that they knew how PRX played from being scrim partners

DRX seemed to be invincible since 2021 still no masters win
LLL is good but Optic FNC better
PRX gonna meet DRX upper bracket NTH lower bracket and going home

Nah IMO minor regions are bit overrated right now because of their success In M1. Remember when KRU almost made it to finals in Champions, but we're like 2nd worst in Masters 1. Same can happen to region like Japan.
