Premature as FUCK but lets drop some takes
Lets just set this straight: Americas > EMEA > APAC > China. And thats just a matter of facts and not even my personal opinion. When did a Team from APAC ever win an internationally relevant Title? Which Team from China does have international relevance besides from EDG which always drop out of tournaments rather fast? I mean yeah ofc all the answers here gonna be crying kids whose feelings i hurt. But face reality: This aint League. APAC and China aint that good regions. 100T look unbeatable right now and are probably going to win Masters Shanghai. PRX will be the eternal runner up. Set your regional bias aside and face the facts.Americas > EMEA > APAC > China.
I mean yeah Lev got beaten by an apac team but this aint representative at all? Dont get the claim here to be fair. T1 got beaten by G2. Thats the exact same thing with regions reversed. I think of it like this Americas Seed 1 would win against APACs Seed 1. Americas #2 < APAC #2. Americas #3 > APAC #3. This makes APAC worse than Americas for me. i do admit that maybe my claim about EMEA being better than APAC might be biased but im still convinced about Americas on top
Top 6 is not really impressive considering there were 8 Teams at Masters: Madrid. As for Champions '23... yeah they were not bad at all. But i personally dont consider Top 6 a good outcome. But i admit that this is just a thing of personal mindset. Doesnt change the fact that their most recent result was rather disappointing
TH might actually win against GenG but that still wouldn't put EMEA as the #1 region.
FNC was disappointing.
FUT did alright.
NAVI might be good at an international so we'll have to wait to see them at Champs.
KC, i dont even know what to think about them.
TH is the best the region has to offer by a lot rn.
Of all the team in playoffs so far, only FNC could make it close against GEN.G. The point is not putting EMEA as #1 region, but putting EMEA in the top 2 instead of bottom 3.
Also, how is TH winning GF not making EMEA as the number one region? the only region with all of their team in playoffs. APAC? PRX has the same placement as FUT. Americas? Top 3 and Top 4.
