Everyone should put more stock in Regional Titles

It sucks that most fans, and even pros, basically the whole community, disregard the league titles ( americas, emea, apac, china) and only treat them as qualifiers for the international tournaments.

For instance, when ppl are discussing Val's GOAT and mention Chronicle's titles, they always say 2 Masters and Lock//In but never mention that he has one EMEA Trophy also.

Aspas doesnt have 1 Champions only, he got that Champions and 2 Americas, Nats won a title in 2023, Paper Rex did win a title.

IMO these titles are harder and more important than Madrid for instance ( not only that, but all the future 8-team masters), specially with regions like EMEA and Americas getting a lot more competitive for the next year.

thats a good point, they are really overlooked.

but i will say that only stage 2 really matters. kickoff and stage 1 are disney. stage 2 means a lot and the winner receives 100k, whereas kickoff and stage 1 give seeding only, and kickoff seeding is really irrelevant

at least on Liquipedia, the teams that got 1st place on kickoff and split1 are treated as "winners" while the winners of split 2 ( or the league for 23) are listed as "Champions". They should add those little trophies next to the players name to represent how many of the league titles they've won like they do for LoL Worlds or MSI

people dont count them because teams have incentive to throw to do better at intls (ie saving strats etc)
