Why has apac not won yet

I dont understand, is it a mental thing? Shit region? PRX curse?

Mental gap

they're just chokers, still better region than emea tho.

I don't want to say it but i think it is because of their diet, not enough burgers and fries #NAONTOP

bc their style isnt sustainable for an entire tourney especially in the bo5. relying on 50/50 gun fights and pure skill/mechanics can only get u so far when in the bo5 and more nerves pressure these things become much more unreliable

:(

RRQ haven't been to an international yet
APAC looking good this year

here’s the answer

first few years of the game

• na and eu had advantage because deeper cs history
• teams in apac had less veteran presence (coaches and mentors), less fundamentals
• around this time VS/DRX were the only ones who could compete but even they were missing part of the puzzle
• overall worse teams means overall worse practice, so the region grows slower

recent history

• we had way more international events, lots of losses that they could learn from
• teams started learning way more from each other
• fundamentals became much more well understood
• talent starts coming together due to franchising

today

• we have geng, who probably play the most “balanced” and “correct” valorant out of pacific so far
• emea zero teams in playoffs
• pacific overall level looks very solid

TLDR: it was unreasonable to expect them to win trophies for the first few years, now they are legitimate threats

If you’re curious about China, just imagine that they’re like two years delayed on this timeline

coaching staff and lack of good igls thats pretty much it

Coaching issue ngl. So far the only time i have seen an apac team play high level iq of Valorant was Zeta in Icelands 2022, they were never known for being aimers or a top team but they were extremely disciplined in their plays

that or Champions 2022 DRX

TLN not there

RRQ IS NOT THERE YET

mentality diff tbh

Shit choker region

DRX and Gen.G = Mental
PRX = Trolling in Bind
