EMEA CASTERS ARE CRYING IN THE CORNER
because EU style of play is a bad match for BR even sacy admitted that EMEA teams are the most difficult to face for them because of the style of play and optic have had the edge on u guys cuz they love to scrim with EU teams.
but loud are showing that they were saving strats and that they are one of the best teams in the world
No matter which team wins champs, it'll be good for the game going forward.
Loud: Having a Brazilian team be the reigning champions GOING into brazil for a Lan would be cool, but it'll probably bring more fans into the ecosystem.
OpTic: It'd crown them as the GOATS of early Valorant esport's. 3rd place, second place, and two first place appearances over 5 lans. It would be nice to end this first chapter of Valorant with a clear goat of this period.
Korea: I want DRX to win so bad. No because they deserve it. Not because they'll be the first Asian team to win. Simply because maybe, JUST MAYBE, if Korea wins a title that they'll get actual viewership. They literally averaged 35k total viewers during stage 1 and 2. They need viewers.
