Is Korea really underrated?

#1

People calling Korea overrated hard because they went close with Paper Rex on Haven but you forgot that Paper Rex is not a bad team either.

Just because you don't follow a region, it does not mean its bad. Its scary to play against forsaken. Deal with it.

IMO Paper Rex is underrated.

Edit: People calling forsaken a farmer in t3 region but you gotta admit on a good day he can rekt top 5 jetts in the world no doubt.

Vision strikers is most overrated team i ever seen. Even if you do 100 win streak in a region like Korea, it doesn't make sense.

Apparently VS beat PRX 24-0 in scrims , so fact is that they are playing really bad

They did a 100 win streak against a team that came third in Iceland. I would like to think kr isn't just a tier 3 region. Besides, nuturn wasn't their only competition. They still dominated even though there were other good teams in korea

forsaken. SkRossi is 80% of forsaken for what we have seen.

Going head to head on SEA servers in pugs, they both top frag.

Korea got 3ed in Iceland, although that it was a different team it doesn't mean they're weak. They are a very strong region but PRX is a very good team too who is very underrated.

we should be talking more about PRX being underrated more than VS/Korea being overrated IMO.

LMAO you really dug deep for this one.

I am not convincing anyone, It's just that people rate teams even before they have had a chance to play.

This is Paper Rex's first stint internationally and people assumed that they are one of the worst teams here. They lost 2-0 but at least they showed that they deserve to be here.

Same for India. It's not an Indian team's fault for not going international before this. There are tournaments every week and at least a dozen proper teams in India. Judging from the population on this website and viewership breakdown in general, India is also one of the biggest regions, It's just Riot who wants to suck up to China instead of fairly distributing slots.

I will repeat, I am not convincing anyone when I say this because I know Indian teams have done it before. An Indian team went against prime time NIP (your flair, you must know it) in the 2014 CS major and faced a respectable loss. Losing like that to the best team in the world with no international experience is very good for a first attempt and that was back when no one even gave a shit about esports. Given how NIP went to beat other teams without any competition suggests that Indian teams could have done better than a lot of the teams there. They just had bad seeding going against NIP in a Bo1 in the first round itself.

Ohh and did I mention PRX is SEA no.2 seed and also, the best teams in SEA are not even playing here because Patiphan is injured and Bren could not make it? Indian teams scrim PRX Bren and X10 regularly beating them a few times as well. Well, I agree that's scrimbux, and yes they don't matter much also, most probably not gonna happen in a tournament, but this is just to let you know there will not be a day-night difference between the two.

I don't think it is correct to overhype or underhyped any region if they haven't even been given a chance yet. That being said think what you want.

That is exactly what I am saying. Just let them play. We will see the results.

If I hype them up saying they are the best, I would be in the wrong and if someone says they gonna get rekt, they are wrong as well.
After we have seen the results can we really say what is gonna happen.
