The skill gap in Pacific just isn't as pronounced as other regions that have an obvious top 3/4 and a bunch of shitters. They got a good shot this year
2021 - Only decent APAC team was VS and they bombed out
2022 - Not much you can do when OPTIC and LOUD were a thing
2023 - EG was the best team ever made at the time and PRX kind of fell off during the GF
2024 - Every pacific team played like shit
