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.
