KRU and MIBR look okay but they're unfortunately outmatched even in regionals by NA teams who also can't play.
G2 rid to Bangkok finals off having the best meta read and got beat by a pretty strong anti-meta read - Fair play, but not replicable. SEN farmed exclusively shitter CN teams in BLG XLG and a scared unconfident WOL who wasn't exploiting their mistakes, then IMMEDIATELY BOMBED. MIBR had the literal worst international performance in partnership.
AMER isn't doing shit this year, while all of APAC looks insane and EMEA/CN have 2-3 deep run win it all contenders.
nah again I'm talking about #10 acting like the region doesn't have a future because it's not "producing talent" when we got lukxo, sato, dantedeus, neon, virtyy, and all of EXL
that's literally two full teams worth of very promising players, just from latam/br, who will be new to tier 1
lack of talent is not americas' problem
Emea??? Kaajak, Lewn, Comeback, Xeus, CyvOph, Loita, maybe Lar0k if you wanna stretch who else?
Apac? Freeing… for like only kickoffs… hyunmin, tenten, ash, patman, dos9, hard maybe on Killua and current tier 2 prospects? What Wayne??? I mean I’ll even give you miNt miko suzu and Moco because I feel they’re underrated and belong is tier 2 bare minimum. Even still neither come close to the prospects that are coming from or have come from Americas.
You clearly have no clue about EMEA outside the usual suspects, just look at how many rookies are showing huge potential in t1 these last 2 years, the league is nearly 80% rookies or players on their second year lol. Heretics last year full rookies except Boo, chiwa (didnt play yet but u will see), sociablee, profek, sayonara and gsr (two generational talents), westside, veqaj and proxh look promising, kamo/keiko both on their second year, hiro, avez, marteen (shit duelist but good player), monster will show his potential from KOI, Olizera, globex, zachkappa, any of the KC, KOI and Liquid academies specially Sevire, jas from EP is pretty good, kozzy, etc... I wont name more because the list is long but its a good thing that EMEA teams have been promoting t2 young talent these last 2 years and nearly all of them have performed and leveled up the league, also you cant compare kaajak, comeback, xeus, gsr or sayonara to those some of the players u named, for a start EMEA has 2 generational initiator talents like GSR and Sayonara while NA can only produce reduxx, canezerra, ion or nightz who realistically cant even compare to kaajak, xeus or comeback
Im very aware of emea lol these are not prospects... these are just players that are likely to be good in tier 1... I'm talking people that will be genuine talents putting up incredible numbers even in Tier 1 and on international stages... you're also mentioning players from last year like marteen and hiro lol? Which sure we can go there two. One of the best players from EMEA in 2024 N4RRATE came from NA... if your counting benjy of a rookie then Johnqt? Literally won the first ever international he went too... Oxy??? one of the best duelist in the game currently regardless of achievements. NONE of these players not even Kajaak has managed to be as dominant as N4RRATE was at the beginning of 2024 especially on a international stage like madrid. Canezerra can more than compare to them lol. There has been no player not a single person as dominant as him in any tier 2 scene. I'd go as far as saying you could put aspas derke or zekken in tier 2 and they still wouldn't be able to replicate the dominance hes shown. Ion isn't a duelist so that comparison makes no sense. Flor literally went to EMEA on the worst team and still put up better performances than Xeus. Mada has looked on par if not better than zeus. you mention two "generational initiator talents" who are unproven when Verno has been one of the best players so far this entire year... and is a literal proven generational initiator talent. Again a lot of the names you mention like sevire, jas???? lol?, Gsr, are not nearly as consistently dominant or have been. To be compared to people like verno mada canezerra ion flor or infiltrator and im being strict with this list of players I've named so far havent even mentioned dodonut or penny or sato or okeanos vora pa1nt mixted v1c neon ghoul3 virtyy and many more
One, flair.
Two, we would literally be having the opposite conversation if nAts got his visa on time. SEN struggled against an unconfident scared WOL and then farmed the other CN trollers, one of which ALSO had a sub who couldn't comm to his duelist. Then they ate shit immediately upon facing real teams.
They could NOT have beaten TL instead of BLG. Literally the flukest placement of all flukes.
if if if if
what if liquid had nats and lost anyway
what if sen beat liquid with nats
what if sen lost to liquid and beat prx then the whole event is cooked
what if patitek didn’t troll and then liquid won the whole event
do you see how delusional you start to sound when you cope about hypotheticals or are you so blinded by the “hurr durr nats visa” excuse that you genuinely believe it’s a good argument
Absolutely it's a good argument. You bang on about "if if if" as if these supposed "hypotheticals" aren't just the facts that
"TL played at a significantly higher level with nAts than without" (noway) - nearly beating PRX, who went on an undefeated uppers run from there
and
"SEN was playing at a much poorer level than expected" which was very apparent in their WOL game. They were making so many obviously exploitable mistakes, but WOL didn't pick up on them, and it was still close despite WOL not being even remotely in form yet.
It's not even cope, it's just analysis.
