Numerous teams have scrimmed CN teams in the past and have been terrorized by them for better or for worse. They might be not as good as some upper echelon Asian teams (to be determined at E-A LCQ,) but bringing a team from a region that has the aggressiveness of Paper Rex x 10 (per se,) can be one hell of an entertaining show.
Recount that Lakia said CN teams were super aggressive and Redkoh (formerly of LVR) have said CN teams were one of the few that made them sweat kinda
I really don't mind the comments saying CN teams will struggle - while they consistently scrimmed against other APAC teams, there are some aspects of their strats and gameplay that show they're just one step behind the more established teams. I have similar sentiments, but I have certified Chinese Valorant Copium and I am excited to see some extra entertaining gameplay.
Watching EDG these past 2 days makes me realize there's some utility setup that I've never seen used by other region but they can utilize it perfectly.
It's just I feel they still lack in some discipline and teamwork play. And they aim hard, but when whiff they whiff hard too lmao.
Overall pretty sure these CN team can gives diversity gameplay in East Asia and improve the whole region gameplay.
CN teams are getting overhyped right now by people who have never watched the scene, it’ll be like OCE or SA in APAC. They have phenomenal players but no team play at all and continue to use incredibly outdated strats. Players like whz look insane since they get away with anything on CN, but struggle when they actually face a team that knows how to trade, like EDG or KONE.
EDG can probably beat a weaker KR/JP team but would have to get incredibly lucky to beat Northeption, Damwon, or On Sla2ers (if they come back to form). I’d like to be wrong and see EDG demolish some teams, but don’t get your hopes up.
