This is not some NA hating on Brazil take. I actually really love how competitive Brazil has become. However, I think a Japanese team winning is beneficial for the future of VALORANT. I think the more regions are competitive, the more international the esport can become. With Japan winning, hopefully this is just another step in that! I don’t think this game being like CS:GO with mostly NA, EMEA, & Brazilian representatives is the best. The more competition the better! Anyway, I am talking in circles.
TL;DR More competitive international competition (specifically in the Asian/APAC region) is better for the future of the esport.
