No other region has EUs depth
posted in General Discussion
I don't wanna sound too preachy here but everyone clowning on EU doesn't understand that no other region (maybe Americas) can send 5 teams that are as good as: FNC, FUT, TL, Giants and KOI/NAVI. I mean Giants/NAVI/KOI are no doubt better than teams like SEN or 100T

Tbf in the pre-war days EU literally had the 4 best teams in the world (all 4 teams from EU won their groups in 2021 champs, something that will never happen again with any region). Also your great NA teams besides optic were always ass internationally barred XSET 1 time performance, let's be honest

I'll be realistic enough to say they wouldn't beat Team Liquid, but minimum 3rd place for them. FUT and every team worse than them would be a piece of cake

Bro SEN with no igl could beat all of those teams minus FNC lol. And don't even get me started on KRU, blud a team that went 0-9 in the previous split is literally better than 80% of EMEA rn. The cope is unreal, just be glad you have FNC and stfu.

posted 12 hours ago
Let's see after Champs, keep that same energy ok? SEN, 100T, Furia or ain't winning against Giants. I think Giants 2-1 C9 and against KRU it's a 50/50

Bruh wdym after champs, EMEA did ass at Masters Tokyo all things considered. Like it's just facts, right now EMEA is weak asf, but FNC is bailing them out hard.

posted 12 hours ago
Huh? TL threw against NRG which will never happen again. TL have been improving RAPIDLY, they have a legit shot at Champs. NAVI are ass rn but the potential is there with Suy, Zyppan and Shao. Giants are a very underrated team who are no easy game for any team itw. KOI have been improving rapidly but no chance for them at champs if they make it. FNC are the greatest team to exist and finally, FUT are kinda like Giants, won't be an easy game for anyone

posted 12 hours ago
This is just cope tbh because other teams at masters also underperformed (LOUD, DRX) and there are other promising teams like C9, T1 and Zeta, not to mention the already existing teams at the top PRX, EG, NRG, EDG. Like even in a world where some of these EMEA teams turn up, there are still a lot of teams that could take them out. And, sure with more slots than any other region the likelihood they win is higher, but look how Tokyo turned out lol, relying on FNC basically.

Bro, all of Americas minus MIBR, could beat TL gtfo lmao.

posted 10 hours ago
I mean if we say LOUD and DRX underperformed, then we should also acknowledge that FUT and NAVI also underperformed and EG overperformed.

Especially if you watched the FUT games vs EG and DRX, I think it's clear that a lot of it came down to nerves, everyone besides atakaptan looked shaky af, which makes sense considering they only played tier 2 until this year. I think they can be as good as EG or 100T when EG isn't currently going on an absolutely insane run.

As for NAVI, god knows what they're doing tbh, they should be much better than this. Even in cNed's rare Jett games he doesn't perform like he used to.

I still think Americas has the edge over EMEA, but it's closer than people pretend. I feel like we've been there before, when 100T narrowly scraped by two wins against ACE and GMB and NA fans thought NA would destroy everyone at champs in 2021, and then 3 EMEA teams top 4. Or when EMEA underperformed at Reykjavík and then won Copenhagen.

All of emea is dependent on fnatic. Fnatic is the only one team carrying SHITMEA. Boaster gives shitmea an extra slot and SHITMEA teams are so bad they can't even get out of groups ?

Cold take, the chance of any given team not winning a tournament is high because of the number of games they have to win in a row to get there. Fnatic are still favourites though having won the last one

posted 11 hours ago
saying fnc not winning is a cold take is braindead lmao

posted 8 hours ago
Its not really a hot or cold take. It would be a hot take if he said FNATIC got grouped though. FNATIC are clear favorites but saying that they don't win isn't really a hot take tbh, especially since PRX might have been able to deal a blow against FNATIC if they had something.

posted 7 hours ago
yeah but cold take would mean he thinks its unlikely fnc win lol. i agree its neither hot nor cold but definitely on the warm side of the spectrum

posted 1 hour ago
If I said the odds of fnatic winning are less than 50% would you call that braindead? It's the same idea. Think of it this way, imagine you have a weighted coin that gives heads 80% of the time, the chance of getting heads 6 times in a row is still 26% which is on the low side but compared to other outcomes is the most likely.
Edit: also prx with something is my pickem let's gooooooooo
