I'm serious. Their only relevant and legit achievement is OpTic making it to Grand Finals in Champions. Outside of that, their both Reykjavik wins were dubious to say the least. Sentinels farming pros that were immortal 3 of today's standard (game was new) except for maybe Derke.

FPX didn't participate, people keep bitching about Something's absence but the whole team (best in the world at the time arguably) was absent.

Also, PRX making it to grand finals > EG making it to grand finals. So, I think even pacific has the edge over NA.

tbf it was rlly unfortunate circumstances for NA and even Americas as a whole. Id say theyre by far the most competitive region and most of their teams are better than most of the EMEA and Pacific teams however, Loud got 2nd place curse (ngl at this point its gotta be real), and Cloud 9 were p much equal to NRG and they werent able to make it over loud. So lets say loud did as good as they did in Americas we'd probably see Americas have 3 teams in the top 4.
Pacific is also in a rut rn considering DRX are falling off hard (probably internal issues). PRX are also an insane team but without Something they clearly werent able to change their style enough to make GF.
Both of these factors paralleled by the fact that EMEA literally had no issues outside of Navi being too used to trolling their games and still having the tourney be more dominant in Pacific and NA just goes to show that EMEA is by far the weakest region. FUT got owned by DRX and Navi are middling at best, TL are p good but they throw in the same way gambit do and just dont have the talent to make up for it.
EMEA as much as i love navi tl and fnc are just a 1 team region for now.

teams were all new
eg 9-16th lock in, 2nd tokyo
prx 1st rounded lock in, 3rd tokyo
liquid/edg first rounded lock in, 5-6th
navi 3-4th lockin, winless in tokyo

etc...

fnc is just fnc, can't argue with that
liquid choked 12-7 lead and got smoked map 3
fnc > americas > emea

You can't make a superteam that's better than fnatic. You just can't, you don't have such talent. You're only lucky that Liquid isn't hitting shots as of now because we'd be seeing TL vs FNC grand finals every event.

"doesn't want to make a superteam" like in 2022 where every single best player for any role from NA were in the same team. At least for FNATIC you can argue that shao sayf and nats are as good as some FNC player (or at least very close), for NA in 2022 the only real other option was Zekken for duelist, the rest of the optic team cleared any other NA player...

I don't like when obtuse NA fans call EMEA a one team region, so I can't like when somebody calls NA a bad region, even if the fans deserve it.

EMEA is definitely better than NA and it could even be better than the whole Americas (that realistically just means NA+LOUD), but this doesn't mean that NA is a bad region. It's true that their major wins are dubious, but I still think they deserve to be praised for it.

True, if FPX played in Reykjavik maybe they would've won, but maybe also not, and I don't think OpTic deserves their title taken away just for this.

I somehow think their titles are both valid (even if less than loud's or the EMEA ones) and that NA is better than any region besides EMEA and PAC (if you consider Asia as a whole, because NA clears APAC)

Very Valid take. Im not a NA hater but i just cant see a reason why NA would be better than EMEA. Dont get me wrong, EG and NRG look very good and have potential to win a(nother) LAN.

But 100T? No hope, they could maybe beat EMEA Nr 5 which is Giants.

Sentinels look good on paper but with no actual IGL and a slight language barrier & lack of chemistry i just dont see it happening. Most top teams nowadays have a core which has ideally been together since the start of the game. Sen just put a few brazilians in a former NA Masters pot and called it a day.

C9 is probably the most promising team out of all. But i think if you play C9 vs Liquid/NaVi 1000x times, Liquid/NaVi wins over 700 of the games.

My ranking currently:

EG
C9 (hot take?)
NRG
SEN
100T
----------------------------- (vlr keeps counting indie website)
FNATIC
Liquid
NaVi (they will get their shit together)
FUT
Giants

Is EMEA unironically the most toxic region?

I’m serious. They’re only relevant because of calling NA, “Nearest Airport” and shitting on the AMER region,Outside of that they are Elitist to say the least. God-Complex people who cannot handle being called a 1 team region expect maybe (idk give me someone)

G2 Fans after losing their home in Europe now migrate into EU and FNATIC flair combos, missing the days of “FUCK SENTINELS”

Also, Pacific Fans usually don’t talk as much shit as NA or EMEA does. So I’m confident Pacific as the edge over EMEA.

Every time they win a LAN with a single team while the rest of their teams are in shambles shows how overconfident they are. They only think wins. And cannot bear to admit whenever they lose, and call it a fluke or dubious win
