Tuyz is the problem
Objectively untrue when KC struggled in a region consisting of 2 teams which are FNC and TL. Everyone in Americas aside from MIBR and KRU were heavy hitters at some point whether at the beginning of the season (LEV is a good example of this) or at the end of it (EG) and that's without mentioning the fact that at some point, C9 was 8-1 and STILL didn't qualify for Masters Tokyo which furthermore proves the higher level of competition in Americas
