If you go by having the best team, yes, but I don't think the rest of the region is comparable in strength. Hope Loud winning champs can improve the strength of the Brazilian/SA scene as a whole. Would be nice to see.

No region is the best region, honestly any of them only has 1 truly worthy world class contender

BR- LOUD
NA- OPTC
CIS- FPX
APAC- PRX
EU- FNC
KR- DRX
JP- ZETA
LATAM- LEV

no 2nd team from any region was a world title contender at anypoint this year

All regions kinda have their 2nd good team, but at the end only the 1st ones can really go to upper finals/lower finals

they beat FPX (2-0), FNATIC (2-0) at LAN, and were extremely close to beating LEV and FPX again in both tournaments (double OT maps to LEV, 14-16 to FPX). Had they won a few more rounds, they would've been title contenders.

Not really because you probably need more than one team in your region that is actually an International title contender.

No, the gap between loud and the other teams is currently quite high

Tu não entendeu, ele quis dizer que o Brasil com um tamanho consideravelmente menor de times competitivos conseguiu um Montar um super time, o que é um fato.
