With how new the game is, there's constantly conversation over which team is better or worse than another. This is fine, it's whatever. But a lot of people need a reality check for this conversation. The current #1 team in EU has never played against a single NA team. In fact, apart from Iceland, almost all of the teams in other regions have never actually played against anyone in NA. And considering it's been a solid amount of time since Iceland's major event, there's absolutely no telling as to what is going to occur when Berlin rolls around. The best part about watching these different regions is their fundamentally different methodology to approaching the game and how it ought to be played. This is going to affect how the inter-regional matches go significantly. Something else that has to be noted is the significant difference in the number of notable professional CS players who swapped from CS to Valorant in NA compared to Europe. As you can imagine, the number is drastically lower in Europe due to the fact that European Counter-Strike is not dead. This idea that CS is dead is very American Centric, considering the NA CS scene is in fact dead. This means that NA has a fairly large advantage over almost all of the other regions, which as a result is going to mean NA will dominate for a period of time. This very well may be shaken up with Berlin, there are plenty of teams that haven't seen an NA team in-game before and vice versa. It's going to be an exciting year for the game competitively for certain. What're your thoughts?
