Region ranking, Pre-Champions.

7 - JP
Strong for 1 tournament, havent shown much results since, got decimated for the entirety of 2021.

6 - Brazil
Strong for 1 tournament, usually placing towards last place at LANs, and havent won any matches against KRU which is why i put latam over them.

5 - Korea
1 Team region, and this one team is known for terrible mental and always subverts their high expectations by faltering when it matters most.

4 -LATAM
KRU have proven theyre international contenders in 2021 and 2022, and Leviatan had some strong, yet entertaining games on LAN. have never lost a match to brazil on LAN!

3 - APAC
SUPER promising region, with extremely strong teams and contrasting playstyles. Have proven theyre at the top in 2022, with 3rd and 2nd place placements at LAN this year. Champions will decide whether or not theyre a top 2 region.

2 - NA
Extremely strong team in Optic, other teams havent shown nearly as much success (other than sentinels in 2021) . Have some of the best players in the world in this region, yet falter on international stages when playing against EMEA. If NA wins champions they could be considered #1 region in the world. The only other region besides EMEA with LAN wins.

1 - EMEA - region with the highest number of international LAN wins, some of the best players in the world, and are the current champions. FPX and FNATIC are 2 strong teams that have a very high chance of winning champions, and theyre the region that won 2021 Champions. Winning champions will cement them as #1 Region in the world definitively.

Dogshit 'ranking' numerically, u start with 7 and end with 13? Weird

kru never lost to brazil on lan, not latam

You forget CN, and why from 7 to 13? lol

br>kr

vlr formatted my numbers weirdly lol, i fixed it by putting dashes. i forgot abt CN, but they haven't had any international appearances yet, cant judge solely based on APAC LCQ

feel like the gap between brazil - kr - latam is very small.
Cant add china cause sample size too small

• jp
• br/kr/latam
• na/apac
• emea

would be my list

dejikke [#3]

kru never lost to brazil on lan, not latam

yup... except for KRU, BR is better than LATAM in general

Agreed for the past year atleast. All time u gotta put NA a tier over APAC

If you would rank all the apac/na teams:

• prx
• optic
• 100t
• xset
• xerxia
• boom

I think optic arent as good as the used to be, the gap between prx and optic is bigger than the gap between optic and 100t
The potential for apac to win the tournament is probably the same as na combined

1-EMEA
2- APAC
3- NA
4- BRAZIL
5- KR
6- LATAM
7- JP

LATAM and KR are easily switchable imo because of LATAMs recent performance and koreas recent performance.

For the ones that are downfagging me, take some information:

LCQ Champions - 2021:
Sharks v E-Xolos = 2v0 (GS - Opening)
Australs v FURIA = 2v1 (GS - Opening)
Sharks v Australs = 1v2 (GS - Winner's)
E-Xolos v FURIA = 0v2 (GS - Elimination)
6K v Gamelanders = 1v2 (GS - Opening)
Liberty v Infinity = 2v0 (GS - Opening)
Liberty v 6K = 2v1 (GS - Decider)
Australs v Liberty = 2v0 (Playoffs - Semifinals)
Australs v FURIA = 0v3 (Playoffs - Grand Final)

EVENT TOTAL: BR 6v3 LATAM

.

LCQ Masters 1 2022:
NiP v Leviatán = 3v0 ('Grand Final') - BR

.

LCQ Champions - 2022
NiP v 9z = 1v2 (Playoffs - UBQF)
FUSION v FURIA = 0v2 (Playoffs - UBQF)

FINAL: BR 13v4 LATAM

Adding KRU games: BR 13v12 LATAM

Conclusion: Even adding KRU games, BR still are positive against LATAM teams

wow bit homophobic much

I don’t think JP counts as APAC so 4th and 2nd

sheahhhh [#14]

The 3rd best no? Any NA Lcq team wipes ur 3rd best, optic wipes xerxia, can put up a fair battle against prx, and xset and xerxia are equal till their game
NAs range is just better

Boom > NA. I'm sorry but NA should get 0 slots after champs.

with LAN he means masters and champions, not lcq (I guess)

I actually agree with the list, only comment is I would but Br over KR, Br have done 1 good tournament, but KR has only made several mediocre ones. The rest I really agree

Im really unsure about prx, Im not quite sure how they will perform, since people now understand how they play

Dude cant pull out NA wins so he went to br 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Agree sir, for now at least, until champions GF where XERXIA will meet BOOM.

apac is a 1 team region lol... dont think xerxia and boom will win a single game sadly

Accurate

PrTsty [#29]

Im really unsure about prx, Im not quite sure how they will perform, since people now understand how they play

Prx is a creative team they will figure it out

Korea worst region imo, Brazil second worst and Japan isnt actually that bad lol, some of the teams are nice and they improved a lot from last year, also considering how popular valorant is in japan they will likely be a top3 region in the future once the young talents develop and get to the t1 japanese teams

Pro_Ralph [#26]

with LAN he means masters and champions, not lcq (I guess)

But all south america's LCQ was always played on LAN even last year, so...

1.emea 2.na 3.apac 4.br 5.latam or kr 7.jp
