imo its KOREA. DRX; theyve been the most overrated. every tournament since m3 theres always a huge amount of people saying "DRX is gonna win their teamwork and strats are unbeatable" and get proven wrong every time
Cheasle2 [#3]Korea is consistently above or equal to multiple EU and NA teams at every event tf are you on about?

jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj [#6]i think it's because drx is good in scrims. that's why everyone says that they're good
viewers don't have access to scrim wins/losses + i mainly heard gambit was doing good in scrims

OMG RONALD! DO YOU PUT ILLEGAL AMOUNTS OF DRUGS IN YOUR CHICKEN NUGGETS?

I've heard plenty of pros say that drx is good in scrims.

VS are notable scrim demons. Any pro player/team/coach will say that DRX are the strongest scrim opponents. nAts said it, G2 said it, TL said it, suygetsu said it, PRX said it, Laz said it, the list goes on.
thatpower [#2]fpx was overrated since the beginning
Can I ask how FPX is overrated, since I've seen this same narrative quite a lot for some unknown reason? They won last stage of EMEA and have been second best so far in stage 2 of EMEA.
Unless you mean their time last year?
archetype [#10]They lost a close 2-1 vs Gambit, who would win the tournament without dropping a single map in playoffs, except for that match.
DRX as a team can compete with any team from EU or NA , Still Korea as a region is nowhere near NA or EU.

"we only won because we had a" -proceeds to list mvps for both iceland tourneys
emea. yea they had results 6-8 months ago but now everyone thinks they are great because of teams in the same region beating each other. do i think they are good? of course. but they didn't even make top4 last lan. yea i know fpx wasnt there but they acted like they were gonna dogwalk everyone regardless and that did not happen. i do think they will be better because they have something to prove.

That gambit literally lost to 100t
number1_anuj_fan [#26]South asia.
Rossi stans praised him like hes better then yay.
Truth is, he got outclassed by jetts from the weakest subregion in asia (HK-TW).
Also south asian teams have a pretty lame record in APAC challengers till now, being able to win a single match each time .
Bro South Asia only played APAC Challenger ones and By time we progress

GES beat Damwon and almost beat f4q
kushcash0331 [#35]EU: 2 International titles

look at NA and EU's second seed at every tournament and revisit my original comment.
OzyMeister [#34]Korea
DRX is no doubt a world class team but I don't think the rest of the region is that good
its been 2+ years now and the team has barely lost to anyone locally
ngl i want Damwon to qual for Masters 2. Might be more exciting.
hiyo [#41]GES beat Damwon and almost beat f4q
Then went on to lose all 4 maps to the weakest subregion and get 0-13'd by prx.

what weakest subregion?
i thought it's SA

likewise want new teams from Korea to play internationally

not a very close 2-1 tbh, lost 13-3 and 13-8 and the 13-8 they won both pistols

idk why you're getting downvoted when you are speaking facts
juraf [#48]not a very close 2-1 tbh, lost 13-3 and 13-8 and the 13-8 they won both pistols
it was p close. scoreline doesnt show it.

masters 1&2 is the most overrated trophy in esport

how is he wrong. every time they lost to na/eu team there was a 13-11 map, with the series going to 3 games (besides gambit). that's legit the definition of close

Yea but he said above or equal
jimjam789 [#67]remember they 2-0ed acend therefore 'above'
So above one time = consistently above ?
luckypleb [#59]I actually asked cause i don't remember, was it HKTW?
never really watched them play . so I'm not the best person to answer

Don't worry bro VLR users don't actually watch the games, they just look at player ACS and team placements to educate all of their opinions.
archetype [#51]it was p close. scoreline doesnt show it.
Scoreline is what makes a game close lmao, unless it's at least 13-10 it was not a close game
Giannero [#76]Scoreline is what makes a game close lmao, unless it's at least 13-10 it was not a close game
nah bro. zeta vs g2 is a good recent example of how scoreline doesn't show how close a game is. x10c vs gambit.
you can win multiple rounds by 1 hp, or with 0.01 seconds, or with just 1 man. Valorant is a largely momentum based game, one lucky round after another and the scoreline suggests domination. In reality, it's a lot closer than people expect. It's almost a fallacy to judge a team off of their scorelines instead of how they actually play the game. 100T vs The Guard is a good example of people giving too much smoke after judging the scorelines.
archetype [#32]in playoffs
why does that matter? I'm not invalidating what you are saying I'm just saying gambit were not as good as you are making it out to be
