I've seen many NA and EMEA tier lists but none from APAC, how would you rank them?
Warbirds - I put them 3rd, This team is basically playing in the same play style, protocol, strat, execution, utility usage of an NA team, all players have an impact and do what their role is supposed to do. However, their attack strats needs a bit more of polishing. At last, they stopped cosplaying PRX play style like they did in 2022, also based on lots of scrim leaks, they're doing very well against lots of teams. Their new NA coach (Warbirds) seems taking the team in the right path.
First things first, thanks for the pretty in depth analysis, really apreciate you taking the time to help me understand a region im not familiar with. Now here are a few things i'd like to say about your list.
GenG - I love the GenG belief, im really hyped to see them developing they looked great against loud and showed massive potential
Talon - I think if they keep garnets as a starter they should be good, but it feels like a waste to bench pati, maybe they can fit him somewhere or just let him go.
T1 - Im just not hyped for this team. Hopefuly im wrong cuz as a overwatch fan seeing those guys suceed would be great, however their performance in the ludwig tarik tournament was awful and if im not mistaken they had been practicing for a while at that point. Lets hope their bootcamp in NA was worth it and they got better.
GE - All the scrimbux i saw said they were doing good, where did you get the info that they are being stomped?
Zeta - Im honestly not that down on them. What you said about being humble is pretty interesting and maybe it does need a fix, still they were ok against lev who imo is one of the top teams in the world. The idea of them bringing someone to get more firepower sounds interesting tho.
The teams i didn't metion i either agree with u and have nothing to say or i just don't know enough about them.
after seeing them so far in LOCK IN (might change after watching a few more tonight)
Put ts in no. 2. They legit looked impressive. Their utility is legit and their chemistry is just crazy for a team that's like a 2 months old iirc. On the flip side, because they're still a pretty new team they still need a lot of polishing to do, like not overheating and trading and such. But other than that they looked as impressive if not better than Gen.g and Talon no joke. Warbirds is cooking 5 Michelin star adobo and it fucking smell amazing.
