I get downvoted every time I talk about EMEA being a weaker league than the Americas. Like, isn't that a fact? In the last 2 years, despite the international comparison between the two regions, Americas has constantly been in better positions, winning more titles, etc.
To summarize: EMEA > NA, However, NA + SA > EMEA
EMEA is just better.
For 2 years in a row, we've had top 2 teams throughout the year, Fnatic 2023 and Heretics 2024.
What does Americas have? Champs 2023 and Masters Shanghai? Don't get me wrong, Americas is still the 2nd best region, but EMEA is able to dominate throughout a year and not just have 1 good tournament a year.
that's my point though, how can you say Americas is worse because they "only have 1 good tournament a year" when EMEA hasn't had multiple title contenders in years. Nothing to EMEA as a region, but it's pretty braindead to mention recent achievements as to why a region is worse than another when you haven't won
Yeah, same for Americas. How does that make EMEA a stronger region than Americas? Especially when Americas has had more top 4 finishes along with more grand finals appearances along with a higher average placement than EMEA. I really don't give a fuck but make a better argument dude. If you reply to this, i'm not replying, you can say whatever, I could care less outside of that one point
Buddy the fact that despite Riots attempt of merging both South and North America and calling it Americas and then on the other hand banning CIS, aka the world best talents from competing especially when the CIS scene had finally started seeing Valorant as a relevant esport and still both regions are tied for trophies just tell you everything.
Americucks are wasting their golden years coz once CIS comebacks, making out of group stages will become difficult for you clowns lmao
You'll beg the best org in ur shvitty region to finally assemble someone like the Optic squad only to see them get 3-0 in the finals lmao
They're loaded for sure with Vitality, Fnatic and KC all looking to be very powerful but IMO americas is more loaded. There's no really stand out WORST teams unlike last year with Furia/MIBR. The worst team on paper this year seems to probably be EG but even then, that Potter/yay combo has potential to do damage for sure, especially if they can find that perfect system, and there's still a mystery slot open? Though, I can't say the same about EMEA. You can provide me with some insight if you'd like :D
