why is NA always underrated??

#1

It seems at every tourney NA is always underrated. Some people really thought a EMEA team with barely any practice made up of T2 pros and a few good players (trexx, sheydos) would beat optic core + ardiis? Those same people talk about how underrated LOUD is for being the world champs in this tourney, when I have not seen 1 person say they will lose to GENG? someone make this make sense, I feel like NA talent is always being shit on even when we consistently prove we are the best region

Everyone was ranking NRG above Loud if you see people’s tierlists and that’s why we said loud was being underrated

And people saying NRG would lose to Koi was a combination of optic always losing their first matches, it being against an EMEA team so of course Europeans would shittalk NA, and Koi being rated a lot more highly then GenG is

Loud is only a questionmark because they lost bzka who was a great coach. I'd say loud and nrg were kinda same level for most its just that losing a coach feels more devastating than when you only lose 2 great players (which both teams did).

idk who said this but it seems sacy and saadhak did the most part of the job but still sacy and bzka out could mean bad things so i hope things change for the better and it doesnt become a kru 2.0

because other regions hype tf out of their region

na and kr are the two regions that are constantly underrated, no matter how well DRX or NV does there will always be some idiot who says they will get upset by some tier 2 brazil or emea or sea team

I have C9 destroying PRX in my pickems yet you read the sentiment on vlr youd imagine PRX to be a much better team, despite never making out of groups, and at champs they got grouped by LULquid and chokeviathan

look at nrg vs koi and how much the emea peeps hyped tf out of koi and you get the idea

absolutely no one is underrating drx anymore,it was only when they were first overrated af and choked every tourney before playoffs,and in this case it wasnt that nrg was "underrated" in any way it was simply because koi is still a dangerous team and they could upset them witch they were close to doing at the start

yes, it got a lot better, but ur basically proving my point

it was only when they were first overrated af choked every tourney before playoff

how can a team that never finished under 5th be overrated LOL? people say DRX choke yet they fucked stomped their groups in all their tourneys till date, except champs 2021, and they have the most international tournament appearances so the sample size is even larger

proof that other regions literally have distorted selective memory

nobody put DRX high in tier lists and the people who DID say they would finish top 4 were shunned, AND THEY NEVER FINISHED UNDER TOP 5 EXCEPT IN 1 TOURNAMENT

I don't see any NA team losing any match to any other regions tbh. NRG C9 and 100T will all make it out.

NA always like to overreact.
You see this every esport.
For example, in CSGO when EG finally beat an EU team but lost the rest of their matches after.

pretty sure ppl just had some hopium for KOI since we got to see sheydos and Starxo back on LAN. You probably just took it too literally which I understand

Literally most pro's that aren't at the lock in, and most analysts expect NRG to win the tournament and expect 100T to place high
what the fuck else do you want ?
