every game a nailbiter. even against dog teams
That just shows who is consistent on regional level. We have always seen this. NA was like the most inconsistent out there outside of OpTic with other teams beating each other left and right. Brazil, LATAM and Korea etc just weren't competitive enough for other teams to challenge them. And in EMEA teams like Fnatic and FPX (Liquid, M3C and Guild as well) kept being on top while being in competitive region because these teams were actually good, and even performed at least decently well on international LANs.
being dominant in region doesnt always mean the region is weak just that that team is actually good and can stay on top even when opposing teams have time for anti-strat etc. For example LOUD is for first time in region that actually gives it any challenge. Not saying they are inconsistent or bad, but just that they might not be as dominant regionally.
Kru and Leviatan are teams that scrim often against Brazilian teams, they have a lot of knowledge about Loud. Nevertheless, LOUD is super shaky, is poorly coordinated and lacks aim, especially in the first map. I still think they have a chance against 100T, but they lose to NRG and Lev especially because these two need to win.
