This year's VCT is being hard carried by EMEA and Pacific. Like sure G2 are good, but they haven't ever won a tournament before and probably won't win champs with how things are looking. China at this point can still use the being a young region excuse, but next year I think you can't really say that anymore.
Pacific as a whole has strengthened dramatically with how competitive it is , like the 6th place team in that region can definitely hit top 3 in both Americas and CN. Honestly any of the teams can win champs (besides maybe t1). EMEA while not being as competitive, have some very hard hitters with FNC and Team Liquid, with TH and GiantsX also looking amazing so far.
Calling it now, finals is 100% gonna be EMEA vs Pacific.
