Arguably that tournament will be more hype and higher stakes than Champions as it proves which regions objectively have the most depth.
facts and achievement?
ok, sure.
you can barely find people like derke, nats, ardiis, etc on liquipedia or hltv. their profiles barely even exist, that's how irrelevant they were in CSGO.
meanwhile, players like s0m, ethan, wardell, steel, vanity, yay, depph, etc all have plenty of experience in tier 2 csgo. you can go check.
not sure if this is what you meant but that's the point i wanted to make, thx
No that’s not what I meant, I get that point, my question is why does that make the NA tier 2 scene have a bigger depth.
I’m asking you to back it up with things those players have done in Valorant that EMEA tier 2 players haven’t. Is the line with tier 1 less clear because they’re better? How often do tier 2 players make it to tier 1? How equal is the scene, are there dominant teams or is it equal and has variety. That’s what I actually meant, Idc if they come from CS that’s not proof of anything
