I see these threads all the time, flaming teams for losing to Chinese teams or even betting odds where Chinese teams are heavy underdogs. Whether it is Lev losing against Trace or PRX losing against EDG or Sen against EDG, we talk about it like these are not genuine teams.
China as a region has developed massively this one year, in a rate way faster than it did literally anywhere else. It's always fun watching them.
It's not just a problem with fans, even teams underestimate the way China plays which I think is shitty. China is no more KangKang and tier 2 players. They have talent. Yes, the depth is not as heavy as it is in other regions, you don't expect it to. But their top teams are seriously good.
So let's just stop thinking EDG as just a Chinese team but as a first seed and a threat. I am saying it again, China is here to upset teams and their fans and they are doing it fascinatingly.
