DRX is so ahead of the rest but so mediocre on international.
EU > SEA > NA > LATAM > BR > KR
“The rest are mediocre on international”
NU got 3rd in Reykjavik
F4Q would’ve never made it against TNL if we didn’t have a shit format, and even than, they still did alright
DK still did pretty good in the APAC LCQ, especially since they weren’t even meant to be their and had not practiced for a while with that roster
Don’t even know why I’m replying to this shit bait tbh
VS was always the hype in Korea since their 100+ match win streak.
They lost during their qualification run to Iceland against 2 other Korean teams despite Korea being "a one team region."
Another Korean team went to represent their region at Iceland, knocking out teams from Brazil and NA to end at a very respectable 3rd place finish.
VS went on to qualify for Berlin, smashing their group and easily beating teams like Acend. They were unlucky to face Gambit the first game after groups, who were looking like the best team by a long shot, and lost 2-1, being the only team to even take a map off them after groups. VS was statistically the 2nd best that tourney.
F4Q also qualified, convincingly taking several maps off G2 and Sen, despite being an unsalaried group of streaming friends. Even though they were eliminated, they nevertheless showed they could also compete at the highest level due, as mentioned before, they were able to compete neck and neck with some of the favorites.
so Korea being a "one team region"... yeah, kinda not true looking off past results.
I don't think KR is way better than BR, but certainly the past results are better than BR. Even with KR being a 1 team region, they at least went playoffs 1 time. BR litteraly fell from heaven to hell in two days. From Furia throwing against Sentinels, Keyd "winning" against Acend and Vikings 1 round away from taking down Gambit to losing 2-0 for SEA teams and being eliminated AGAIN for KRU.
To say BR > KR we need time.
