Pacific: Chokers
EMEA: Not a lot of good IGLs
AMER: A lot of mediocre players
CHINA: Not enough strats
when you look at the majority instead of the minority it shows, the worst teams in Americas are much worse than other regions. (e.g MIBR, Furia, EG (excluding jawg and maybe supa), the c9 roster, most of NRG). Only good teams are the ones that Americas sent to champs excluding maybe 100T and even then those teams have some ass players.
EMEA: finals chokers + not enough good igls (an abundance of good coaches though)
PAC: teams excluding the top 3 (DRX GENG PRX) are literally just trash. like Talon is 4th and they LOOKED HORRENDOUS against Vitality
CN: mostly trash (not many teams/players with great understanding of game)
AMER: too many paycheck stealers and mediocre players (teams have really good fundamentals, but a lot of the players are just not superstars compared to the amount of superstars in EMEA and PAC)
Compared to other regions internationally, amer lacks that (consistent) x factor tbh.
For example, in the top 10 of players at champs, the only amer player is keznit at 5th (which is a testament to how team diffed this guy constantly is tbh) Pacific has 3 players (primmie, meteor, texture), EMEA has 4 (trexx, derke, chronicle, riens), and even China has 2 (Chichoo and smoggy)
At shanghai, there is also only 1 amer player in the top 10 (aspas at 6), while every other region has a pretty even spread of players.
The only time amer showed up was during madrid with a ridiculous 6 players in top 10.
