You fail to see the point. The fact that there at least is some sort of competion internally is what makes the level of a region higher, you can argue than at the end one of the 2 teams ended up being trash, which would actually be true, but apart from EMEA, which region sent 2 teams who both ended up doing something? APAC sent PRX and XIA, PRX did good, XIA won a fluke game and that's it, they always lost after that. LATAM sent KRU and LEV, KRU as well only won 1 game, but LEV managed to get a top 6. NA had first seeds going out 0-2, true, but at least remember who they lost to, both had to face optic in the first match up, and Guard ended up facing PRX which ended 4th in the tournament, while XSET had to play LEV, who had a close game with fnatic who only lost to the 2 finalists of the tournament. And don't even let me bring up the average level of team who didn't qualify from those regions, which yes, wpuld mostly be speculation, but at least would get a bit more insight on that

NTH did quite bad, they didn't win against prime PRX (current one) and the LEV game is the one that actually counts, even tho it was a really close game (both teams dominated on 1 map, and last was 11-13), but after that they faced actually good teams, and it was over for them. There's no curses, DRX isn't simply good enough

You miss the whole point. The fact that there is any sort of competition is what makes the region better. And if you want to say that NTH did shit, ok, you can say that, but ZETA did good before them, and did even better than KR (DRX), and after doing so, they didn't even end up qualifying, which means that yhere's actually competition for a top 3 masters team. While in KR, DRX alqays dominates, but ends up being dominated themselves, there's just no competition because apart from them (which aren't that good anyways) all the other teams are really on a low level

Because they're bad and they lose, simple

Oh fuck, forgot about NU, bullshit about JP being better? Not bullshit, just facts. JP got better results thus year, won against DRX last masters, and actually has more than 1 contender to the international stage. While KR only has 1 team who ends up being dominated, at least ZETA did a really good run last masters, and even ended up not qualifying for this masters, KR teams on the other hand, get all dominated by DRX, which eventually gets dominated itself

Just look at what I said to the other guy

"Cursed team" never heard something more bullshit than this. DRX simply is not as good as people make them to be. KR is without a doubt the worst region in valorant as of now, since the only team that wins over there, never did anything special, with top 6 being their best, every other region has had at least omce, a better placement

Still, the fact that there was a second seed who did better, makes the region better overall, xerxia won a single match by fluke, amd did so fucking bad this masters it's embarassing only to think about. As a whole, apac did worse than NA up until now, and if we count teams that didn't qualify as well, apac is quite shit

Optic has always been 2nd seed, and the teams guard and xset lost to weren't bad teams at all

1. EMEA
2. NA
3. LATAM
4. APAC
5. BR
6. JP
7. KR
   Now, people will ask why I put APAC 4th, simply because as a region the only notable team is PRX, since Xerxia has been doing quite shit this year, while NA and LATAM both have at least 2 teams who managed to do something (Optic was 2nd seed both events, and yes, KRU had a shaky m1, but m2 was much better both for them, and LEV did quite good as well)

Clutch king my ass, Shao is the clutch king.

You may want to reconsider this

Hiding in corners

No baits with such a great game

By far the best masters grand final

Couldn't attend masters 1, came back for masters 2 and fucking won it

That's definitely someone who's true to caesar would say

FPX 100% proved they would have won masters 1 if they would have been able to attend it

Good

Can we just all agree on the fact that this final must not be another 3-0?

It was fpx with seider, which was nothing compared to fpx with suygetsu

Probably KRU over DRX

Brazil doesn't even remotely deserve 3 slots, maybe 2

I think they proved that if they would have been able to attend last masters, they would have won jt

Roadrunner?

Once betted an account and lost

DRX and it's not even close

I was pretty hated at one point

€500~

All I want is a PRX vs EU final

Gambit really broke G2

It's the same scenario at every event before it starts "DRX so good, DRX demons, DRX will go far" then they get eaten alive

Will people stop overrating them after yet another top 6?

LMFAO SURE

Loud 2nd?

Boy was it different when we had gambit

Literally putting zeta as the best asian team when they've had 1 good run and didn't even manage to make next masters

Currently ig PRX wins, but if we take peak M3C, clean sweep from them

Wise man neok once read "toxicity doesn't lose game, bad player do"

SEN won masters, seeding tournament for champs. doesn't count

Why are their odds against DRX literally 1.00

Won't win shit, alfajer already playing bad

there was an episode of keznit being racist to a br player apparently, that's why they hate kru

Well, they've won against last tournament's finalist, and held their ground against Guild, ig they did better than expected?

So we have to hope that guild loses for the greater good?

Really fucking good my ass, LOUD, FPX, XIA and NTH did pretty bad, especially the first 2

"People like you set them up to fail"
No. People like me are just realists who don't care about believing in the underdog just for the sake of doing so but look at results and consintency of those. It's not setting up to fail, it's not being delusional and actually being reasonable about something

Loud played against KRU and Optic, Xerxia played against the worst FPX we've seen since last year and nth

Literally every thread about nth there are people saying they're a good team and did well. While that's totally false, they did shit

10 threads? Give me at least 3. Most people are saying they did good but all they did was beating the worst team the tournament and getting knocked out right after. They did shit
