Arguments for Tied Tournaments:
- Reykjavik 2022 is tied. since EMEA best team couldn’t attend and 2nd best team had 2 subs + war affected everyone in EMEA. Also Americas excluding optic loud was so horrendous that I think it’s obvious EMEA was better but you can debate it. Remember that The Guard (3rd best AMER team) got same as TL (4th best EMEA team) with 7th-8th. Also Gambit (5th best) looked significantly better than C9 (4th best).
edit: Victor literally said in an interview that EMEA was better region during Reykjavik 2022 and I am still tying it.
