Who wouldve thought after 2023 that they would be this ass? NGL, Im kind of shocked in retrospect by how underwhelming theyve been overall. Like, imagine going back to 2023, seeing that Fnatic roster and the rest of EMEAs potential, and telling someone they wouldnt win a single international trophy after that

outaimed by Amer he says..... this shit is hilarious
the region known for body spraying
they have cracked phantom users honestly even tho its generally body shots but they do get the kill most of the time
Some pretty bad luck + choking tendencies + moving away from a tactical based meta to a more gunfighty meta are the main problems.
If Boaster/Crashies weren't liabilities in big games (Crashies in every game) FNC almost certainly win in Toronto and Paris, and then the conversation becomes "wow omg EMEA is the best region they went 2/3 this year!!"
Same conversation in 2024 really, but TH should receive more grace as they were a team of rookies.
If you look holistically and compare average placement etc EMEA is not really much worse than AMER/APAC. however this year EMEA has very obviously stunk it up at internationals. why? because weaker teams (BBL, M8, FUT...) that are better at outshooting the opponents and weaker tactically win the "rock, paper, scissors" game with the rest of EMEA who are better in slower, more tactical games and much weaker at controlling aggression, then go to internationals and play teams from other regions who love that style and play against it every week. Being ran down by BBL is nothing special to PRX, for example.
agreed also i think americas are heavily overrated apac is the most competitive region though
are americas really overrated though? you got g2 and nrg who are strong representatives and SHOULD benefit from the neon nerfs on paper, lev who have strong firepower but unexperienced + heavily relied on neon to make it to london, lots of question marks there.
Yeah, personally I think americas is the best region coming into London. (however the lack of prep time is looking scary)
They are certainly the only region to send three "strong" teams out of their region
The entire "EMEA is bad" argument stands on a single leg which is that we havent won a trophy in very long because despite that obvious shortcoming we still have by far the best avg placement out of all 4 regions, so im just waiting for when we inevitably win an international and i can say we are the best region in the world without anyone having any valid arguments against it
emea creatures so down bad they're flexing average placements now 😭
1071 days and counting
Average American arrogance.
That's why you are all seen as clowns by the world.

tbf 21 og days is the eu era but 23 is basically fnatic
and after that no fnatic which leads to no emea
emea played in 4/7 grand finals since then. All of them were rather close and from the lower bracket
alot of cope by emea fans no wonder yall didnt win shit 😂😂😂 but but we made finals but if this and that guy played better emea wouldve win. YEAH THATS NOT HOW THAT BULLSHIT WORKS. BECAUSE WHAT IF WE FLIPPED THAT AND SAID WHAT IF LOUD DIDNT CHOKE ON ICEBOX AND FNATIC LOST THEY WOULDVE CRUMBLED AFTER THAT AND NEVER EVEN WIN TOKYO
Partnership system allows all asia teams to unite in 1 location (removing high ping barrier) instead of being segregated, If u give asia low ping and equal international slot, asia is very competitive. EMEA just face tougher improved competition, can't adapt and falls behind.
