It's true that t2 Americas>T2 europe but the difference isn't as big as you think. I feel like T2 Americas have 4 very good teams (union, tgrd, m80, moist), and 2 good teams (oxg and 9z), the rest aren't very convincing.

EMEA has Apeks that can rival any team I nominated, and teams like saw, gentlemates, acend, fire flux and dath aren't that far behind

Out of 8? They placed 5th/6th in Valorant champions 2022 where 16 teams competed?

And also it doesn't even matter how many teams compete. Those are the best teams in the world. Finishing 6th in the world is no small feat.

W

GG!

Top 6 in the world is not only good, but it's borderline elite lol

Never even good is reaching top 2, top 4 and top 6 in various international events and winning EMEA trophies. Ahhh yes

No he wasnt, but he's probably the worst player on the team nontheless

Sexocum

I hope that m80 wins because Imo they have a more solid team and I feel like some of tgrd's talent would find it easier to get rucluted by T1 teams

This would be huge

I think it's strictly based off citizenship and it doesn't matter where you play at all

Yeah I know but it's just sad lol

Tbf other than EDG and maybe just maybe BLG the level is very low compared to top franchised teams.

It's true that the 5th EMEA team is kinda meh but that's what you get when you have the goat team in your region.

Also not having leviatan is not a huge loss after how they performed and for now the only loss that sentinels not participating can give to the Valorant scene is for clout, not for the level of play itself, even tho players are hyping them up so we can only hope

I think he has military service or something

And one crazyIGLguy as well

True af but I've never watched one game from them so it would be wrong for me to judge them.

I know that kadoom is the goat tho and I have no idea why they fumbled so hard.

If we gotta add MiTH I think Jadeite deserves a shout out as well though

Asia is not trash lol. It's by far the most deep region but it's for this reason that they never made a superteam. NA had 2 superteams. EMEA had 2 superteams+a Russian superteam. Brazil had 1 superteam.

Asia could only make regional superteams like Korean superteams and indo+mysg superteams but nothing further than that which is why they don't have one single trophy. It's definitely not a trash region though.

Jing the goat 🗿

Only xyus is even decent

Facts fr

Its true but remember something was farming people in Japanese T2 while literally being In a Japanese team without knowing japanese... I don't think it can get more fkd than this lol but he was putting 137-74 typa stats constantly

There's the only 1 import rule unfortunately

Fr because Russia is a goated region it's such a shame that we basically can't see Russian players compete... or they have to compete with a massive disadvantage (literally something was playing alone on SG since he didnt understand japanese callouts...)

Imagine how many great players are we missing because of this? Rito pls fix

they were literally the only team with 5 good players.

BOOM got an IGL that can't frag for life
FANCY only has YESicaN and n1zzy
SCARZ only has two Russian players (goated tho)
NAOS got a bad IGL and overall only papichulo is franchising ready
DPLUSKIA got embarrassed
The rest of the teams are mid

BLEED was the only team with 5 great and complete players. Agree or disagree? 🤔

Fut as well but I feel like qW1 is more explosive than saya and Atakaptan is the goat

Probably T1. Mid ass team and even if I love some players from there they are just gonna get embarrassed at lan unfortunately

Exactly, I think this is the point. There are much better japanese players in the T2 scene but Scarz was the best "japanese" team (or maybe would be better if called team from Japan) just because of the russians

Over the three maps he's still the highest rated player, and this does really show you the depth of Scarz 💀

Also if you are a duelist, especially if you pick Reyna, especially in competitive valorant, you can't do anything if you don't have great support behind you.

Jemkin hard carried Scarz all year long lol

Never let this guy cook again bro said -BuZz probably their best player after MaKo 💀 (and RB on a good day)

Couldn't even make ascension :/

No but fr how did MiTH fumble so hard

Jemkin and kr1stal would be imports, also YESicaN the goat fr

Got carried by the Russians?
Legit there is like 0.20 rating differential between the Russians and the other guys and one of them is the IGL as well.

It's true that jemkin and kr1stal are often put in the position to get the kills, but I think that most people should just accept the truth. Jemkin and Kr1stal hard carried.

Fr lmao he was hard Carry like sugarzero did, only sugarzero did it only one time sScary was very consistent

Rent free.

And also it was said that yay received an offer from bleed but he just did not accept it

Yes but crazyguy and sScary are legit the two best players on the teams.

Everyone is exceptional on the team though, so congrats to the Singaporeans as well 👏👏👏

True, and? Still the most competitive league in Asia lol. Definitely not "one of the worst regions"

I mean they were the second best team in T2 pacific lol

He really doesnt

Wym one of the worst regions? Japan might just be the best T2 region in asia

Awful take

Yeah it's true but atp why not change the whole team? There players better than Jamppi as well lol

But the point is, the teams that have insane fire power from all 5 players are only 2, EG and PRX, who also seem to be the two best teams in the world besides FNATIC.

Also Boaster is not a fragging IGL but statistically he's decent to say the least, and anyways he occupies a role (controller) where fragging is secondary, as opposed to saadhak who is extremely inconsistent as a fragger and generally not that much mechanically better than boaster.

Fenis is my goat IGL but atp he's not the best IGL imo.

He literally got outplayed by boaster strategically in their one and only game, I think fenis passed the golden wand.

Oh so you mean his problem is the direct opposite from SeveriNe, who is a decent IGL but can't frag for shit, I get it and thx for the info since I haven't seen much from Naos tbf

Ok I confused the two teams lol but witz seems above stage statistically as well, not as much as yesIcan but yeah

It's not true, especially in T2. In the Americas johnQT and valyn are easily above average in stats and are cracked mechanically, Enzo for Apeks is pretty good, and in Asia we got IGLs like Kr1stal who is an absolute monster Fragger, crazy guy who is well above average and was the best statistical player regionally for bleed, yesIcan I think IGLs as well, and mostly other fragging IGLs all around

Is Naos IGL yesIcan? Because that's easily their best player idk what you on about 💀

Edit: nvm lol

Bro down talking the best igl in the world 🗿

I'm loving kr1stal in T2 but let's not forget that redgar is still probably a top 5/10 IGL in the world lol.

And honestly soulcas wasn't even that bad

Is playing in 4? Idk if ServeriNe is their IGL but it really feels like they are playing in 4. It's true, yesterday against Bleed he stepped up and was actually a good player, but if you watch any other game or the stats you see 4 good players and severine.

I understand the importance of a good IGL (if he is, I can't find it anywhere), but it really feels like in T2 Fraggers IGLs are much more appreciated and any team succeeding in T2 has an IGL who is at least above average in stats and mechanics
