If you really believe that teams from the major regions will stomp the smaller regions in Iceland, I think you are mistaken, there is no more silly team at Valorant. I really don't know how Vikings and Furia found Saadhak and Nozwerr but these Argentine boys play an absurd, Saadhak is certainly the smartest player on the Brazilian circuit, for those who watch CSGO Saadhak remembers Virtus PRO's Snax at his peak, artful and slender player who knows how to move around the map with extreme precision, uses all sentinel agents perfectly, I recommend analyzing it if you want to improve in this class. Nozwer uses the agent Sova kit with extreme precision and has impeccable aim and movement, the notion of game for both players is very impressive, so imagine how many other extremely talented players there are in these smaller regions that most viewers don't even know exist. Reykjavik will be a historic tournament, anyone who does not study the team they will face very well can take a stomp, it will be unforgettable!!
Minor Regions
Everyone tends to leave latam behind other regions, but the reality is that there is a lot of talent between Argentina and Chile and if they gave us the same opportunities as other regions it would be clearly more even.
To give you an idea, the same sponsors who put a lot of money in the US and NA, do not put even 10% in LATAM.
Besides that RIOT does not inject the same money in equipment that it gives in the "greater regions".
In similar conditions there would be many more Saadhak, Nozwerr, Keznit and other great players.
I think brazilian teams are really growing up with the time, and they will show their potential in Iceland, NA and EU need to be respectfull to them, in NA e EU i dont see good razes and sovas like brazil have, but brazil dont use too much skye that is a very powerfull champion, however i think brazil will go to iceland to be champions.
Yeah, Brazil is a very skilled region and they have the higher skill and better playstyles on mainstream agents like Jett, Sova, and Raze. Brazil is similar to NA, running the 2 duelist comp, and it'll be very fun to see how it works out against regions like EU where they don't run it. Also, as you said, Skye is very underappreciated in NA and BR. Korea uses it very well, on many maps such as Ascent, even over the mainstream Breach pick. In NA, you'll see Skye exclusively run on Split, as it is a very weak map for Sova. Iceland will be very interesting!
