First of all, no trolling, and I should mention I'm an APAC fan myself.
In my opinion, the EU currently has four world-class teams:
- Heretics
- Fnatic
- Karmine Corp
- NAVI
Additionally, FUT and BBL are decent teams that can compete with any team globally. Teams like TL, VIT, KOI, and M8 still need to prove themselves.
Comparatively, in the Pacific region, we have:
- GenG
- PRX
- DRX
These are some of the best teams in the world, followed by mid-table teams:
- TS
- Talon
- T1
- RRQ
- ZETA
- DFM
- GE
- Bleed
I don't think any of these mid-table teams are quite ready to challenge the top international teams yet.
As for the Americas, I feel it's currently the third-best region. They don't have a top team like Heretics or GenG. SEN could have been that team but consistency is more important than winning just one event and then underperforming.
Here’s my ranking of the Americas teams:
- SEN
- 100T (they got destroyed by GenG and TH, otherwise they’d be #1)
- G2
- LEV
- LOUD / C9 / NRG / KRU / EG
- MIBR
- Furia
If we compare the top teams of each region, the EU has a wealth of strong teams. Even when comparing the bottom half, EU teams are quite competent compared to those in the Americas and APAC. Teams like MIBR, Furia, GE, Bleed, and DFM are not on the same level as VIT, BBL, M8, and TL. Maybe not KOI
Do you think this assessment is unfair to the Americas?
