Americas VS EMEA truth

#1

I know title says truth but how else you gonna get clicks?
This is my humble opinion

Americas has more individual talent scatter across teams while EMEA has less individual talent that is focused on a few "superteams"

So imo:
AMERICAS LEAGUE > EMEA LEAGUE
but,
The EMEA superteams > AMERICAS superteams

Doesnt matter if ur a "3 team region" if those 3 teams can win against AMERICAS.

In conclusion, I enjoy watching the Americas league because more competition, but EMEA top teams are (probably) better than americas top teams.

Edit
TLDR: Americas has better internal competition while EMEA has more title contenders.

why are you making it sound like there's other superteams that are good in EMEA besides FNC lol, surely we don't think VIT clear NRG/LEV/SEN/LOUD right

We havent seen much of VIT, FUT, and NaVi with Ardiss.
Thats mostly why i put probably. They have shown talent in the off season.
And, other than SEN, none of the Americas "superteams" played in the off season so we don't know how good they are...

Why is EMEA “superteams” plural?

Are u implying that EMEA has more than 1 superteam

And that 1 superteam lost 2x to loud

You are going off 2023 results... Fnatic easily cleared any team other than LOUD, and LOUD just lost their star duelist. Its going to take them some time, if ever, to get back to their form.

And for multiple, i realize superteams may be the wrong term. I meant to say teams with good potential.
Emea has
FNC
FUT
VIT
NaVi with Ardiss

And if we are going with the FNC superteam definition, AMERICAS doesnt have any...

NRG and LEV are superteams

What is your definition of “superteam”

Also EMEA besides FNATIC won ONE game vs AMERICAS last year(not counting LOCK IN)

ONE GAME

LET THAT SINK IN

Bias aside EMEA is really a bad region rn

All times besides FNC need to step it up

As i said, superteam is the wrong term for my current situtation and i have misused it.
I would say a superteam is a team that has a good potential to lift a trophy (in this context)
Edit: i agree with Americas having superteams.. but if we go with fnc 2023 superteam definition. Noone was close to them other than loud.

Not counting lock is not a valid way to talk about 2023, and even so, FNC won against EG twice and NRG once in Tokyo
Giants also won against KRU in champs

thats the game Im counting

The guants win vs kru

Thats the only one EMEA won

And the reason LOCK IN doesn’t count is because top teams from some regions got to play the bottom teams of others.

For example, NaVi got to play LEV and KRU

NRG got to play KOI and Giants

In champs and tokyo, the top teams from all regions played each other and Americas came out on top

You new kids on the block are braindead.

Do you realise that my gigabrain is literally oozing with good takes regarding competitive Valorant????

How is Americas "depth" better when they literally have 3 teams capable of challenging for the title.

For EU? NAVI, FNC, TL, FUT, VIT and GX. THAT'S 6 TEAMS YOU DONKEY

AMERICAS??? LOUD, LEV and NRG. That's 3 teams, not 6. Depth where????? 🤡🤡

SEN are solid but they'll never contend

Depth where little man???

"More internal competition"

EU has more talent, even the Americas fanboys agree with this, anyone who knows an ounce about the scene knows it. EU GMs finally got their shit together and even the teams who are "bad" have good talent to build on.

You're just a robot who goes with the narrative. 80% of the users on this site are Americas bias, and you actually believed their horribly bias takes and made it into your own.

Trexx is good but not S tier

Gotta do my obligatory job as a FUT and cNed fan.

FUT is actually a good contender, they got top 8 champs last year, this year they have a good chance with 2 direct upgrades to their team.

They got top 8 but they were not a top 8 team

Results can be deceiving

They beat T1 2x and lost 2-0 in all other games

Dont act like it was a good run

Most teams wouldve qualed in that group

You need context instead of just spouting results

NRG was much better than FUT last year

I feel like Americas has 2 maybe 3 tiers with NRG/LOUD then the rest and the rest are all at pretty much the same level which is a pretty good level

EMEA has so many different levels compared to Americas, they got FNATIC top, then FUT/VITA/NAVI and maybe GX, then they got a decent mid table, then struggling teams, then teams that just cant win

I feel literally the other way around, or at least the last year was the last was the opposite. FNC can compete with Americas superteams but they have more of them. Meanwhile the body of the league is more competitive in EMEA, our 4th and 5th seeds did really well at champs much better than americas 4th. That being said comparing last years KC to MIBR is pointless anyway
