Low tier Americas still looks significantly better than low tier emea imo.

100T is the only americas team that’s played so far that I believe will be international contenders to begin with.

i mean imo koi and liquid looked the worst in emea and if you compare that to how 2G and MIBR played its really not a big gap at all 2G looked sooooooo fucking bad

Completely agree

2g and apeks are both filth and from there the bottom teams are pretty even. Saying eg/mibr/2g is significantly better than koi/apeks/navi and whoever is insane

I suppose it’s a matter of expectations. I expected 2g to be awful against NA teams so it wasn’t too impactful on my opinion.

EG on pearl was trash, loud looked mid overall, c9 looked decent, nrg looked bad, 2g looked terrible, 100t looked decent, mibr looked terrible its not because of upsets but nobody either than loud really outperformed what you would expect from them. a lot of teams just didnt look good

overall americas will look much better by the end of kickoff but 2G is by far the worst team out of the Americas/EMEA/Pacific teams without spike

bias because we had a banger match between two international favorites already, while americas didn't had that. other matches in emea were same level or worse than overall americas

i mean even if they are all good its still looking disappointing across the board at least for kickoff so far

maybe but judging from opening matches i would say emea looked better just across the board. but you cant tell me 2G and MIBR didnt play as bad if not worse than koi and liquid

i didnt watch koi and liquid
2G was probably the worst of all regions maybe
but MIBR didn't look too different from apeks or giantx
and we have 100t, C9, EG and Loud, all of whom looked decent enough to compensate

they could work on pearl, yes, specially that troll comp, but their defense was at least half-decent
and their split looked good, didn't win because loud made a great comeback
