I will watch this region for first time. How is the quality of scene compared to EU,NA,JP?
And which team will win do u think?
Blackheart [#2]
Bonker , prx and xerxia top 3
Bonker will probably not even make it out of groups. You have 0 knowledge on the region and a fake flag on top of that lol.
APAC has multiple sub regions like Thailand,Vietnam,MY/SG,Indonesia,South Asia,Philippines and now OCE too
there are many favourites rn and the competition is very stiff
Teams with most chance of qualifying (based on recent and past performances ) are :
Xerxia (Thailand)
Full Sense (Thailand)
PRX (MY/SG)
Expecting an amazing performance from PH and SA too
note- only 2 teams can qualify to masters (bonkers and who?)
edit-Boom from Indonesia is also one among the favourites
wizardbot [#5]Better than JP, close to NA, will take time to get to the level of EMEA
Xerxia and PRX/Boom top 2 master qualifiers imo
BOOM nah
Victoriei [#7]Bonker will probably not even make it out of groups. You have 0 knowledge on the region and a fake flag on top of that lol.
I think.... They will
Acro_ [#10]pretty good, a really nice aim show and pretty good teamwork too, overall i would say better than JP and KR, but not better than EU maybe a little bit bellow NA though
I think the teams that will qualify for masters are
-Paperrex
-Xerxia
I personally think APAC to be 2nd after emea, slightly better than NA, KR is a very unstable region, apart from DRX (former VS) no team has yet proven much on international stages
sueYA [#12]I personally think APAC to be 2nd after emea, slightly better than NA, KR is a very unstable region, apart from DRX (former VS) no team has yet proven much on international stages
nuturn

a lot has changed since iceland masters, back then SentinL's were #1 team in the world but now?
sueYA [#12]I personally think APAC to be 2nd after emea, slightly better than NA, KR is a very unstable region, apart from DRX (former VS) no team has yet proven much on international stages
u say that as if apac has performed well? made playoffs in only of the 3 international lans
jimjam789 [#20]u say that as if apac has performed well? made playoffs in only of the 3 international lans
in masters 1 only X10 competed (they were super inexperienced compared to other teams back then) yet performed decent
in masters 2 only PRX was able to compete (bren couldnt make it to berlin) and they put up a good fight against SMB who were on their prime then and also had a much closer fight with DRX ( VS back then) than your emea acend could put up
and for champions 3 apac teams qualified and 2 of them qualified to playoffs meanwhile only 1 from NA could, APAC has always had lesser representatives and yet did well meanwhile regions like BR,JP and NA had multiple slots to each lan event and yet didnt perform well

NA has did not perform well :skull:
sentineLs #1
ENVY #2
sWan10_exe [#25]alot of competition in APAC compared to NA and EMEA as there are so many sub regions
JP is improving
NTH and reject are promising
Stax_rb_op [#24]NA has did not perform well :skull:
sentineLs #1
ENVY #2
not good enough when you check the number of slots they received
Victoriei [#7]Bonker will probably not even make it out of groups. You have 0 knowledge on the region and a fake flag on top of that lol.
aw );
Ibis [#30]This site can’t be serious. There are seriously people who think SEA is better than NA?
it is bro at this point. Based on champions, SEA teams equally stable to NA and now I think SEA is a better region. The competition here is demon, imagine many countries and continents fighting for only 2 slots for masters.

NA KEKW
Minimise [#32]aw );
minimise what are you doing awake get rested apac challengers start soon <3 good luck
wesickdrei [#33]it is bro at this point. Based on champions, SEA teams equally stable to NA and now I think SEA is a better region. The competition here is demon, imagine many countries and continents fighting for only 2 slots for masters.
1 tournament. In masters SEA did shit and NA always was clearly better. Plus in champs only 2 SEA teams (one of them in an easy group) got to quarters either
WiseGorbachev [#39]Everyone in here who thinks SEA>NA is so retarded, get a grip, SEA'S only win over NA was over a weak Envy where Victor was playing like shit, I don't think they have any win over a major region other than that
Imo
EMEA>>>>>NA>>>KR>SEA>LATAM(one team region so far, need to see how leviatan perform internationally)>BR>JP
Victoriei [#7]Bonker will probably not even make it out of groups. You have 0 knowledge on the region and a fake flag on top of that lol.
i think they will if FS not going to group B after play-ins
Stax_rb_op [#4]better than NA and JP tbh, (JP is improving tbh)
PRX, XERXIA might win
BLEED ,BWL ,FS ,APH and South build esports can give tought fight
u forgot BOOM
Top NA ~> Top APAC = Top KR > Average NA = Top JP > Average SEA = Average KR> Average JP.
NA has a lot more depth. APAC has great top teams, but a lot of rough teams partially due to the disparity in skill within SEA regions (HK/TW, SA in particular). IMO, the top APAC teams like the top NA teams are contenders for VCT events.
Korea has had a severe problem in their depth for a while. Finally, it seems there is at least one or two other teams that may consistently challenge DRX (VS).
JP has improved, however, it seems their reliance on import players may be causing problems. ZETA has looked impressive.
Victoriei [#7]Bonker will probably not even make it out of groups. You have 0 knowledge on the region and a fake flag on top of that lol.
They have Godkar looking over them. They will be fine.
sueYA [#27]not good enough when you check the number of slots they received
How is winning an international event not good enough?
Stax_rb_op [#4]better than NA and JP tbh, (JP is improving tbh)
PRX, XERXIA might win
BLEED ,BWL ,FS ,APH and South build esports can give tought fight
How is it better than NA? Two teams made it out of groups throughout the whole year and got first rounded, not to mention Team Secret had a very shit group.
kushcash0331 [#47]How is winning an international event not good enough?
he clearly values making quarter finals over a win and another finals appearance
APAC is better than jp but has a lot more quality teams than kr. Teams are not as structured as NA or EU but the players have some of the most amazing aim.
PRX and Xerxia are definitely the top teams right now so i suggest watching their games as a starting point into getting to know the scene. In APAC anybody can beat anyone so prepare for some upsets
Ibis [#38]1 tournament. In masters SEA did shit and NA always was clearly better. Plus in champs only 2 SEA teams (one of them in an easy group) got to quarters either
i agree NA is still ahead (but by a smaller margin)
jimjam789 [#49]he clearly values making quarter finals over a win and another finals appearance
quarter finals at the toughest competition ever, not masters where there were waaaaay less competition
again as I said Sentinels did win masters 1 but do you think they will this time? based on their current form thats a big fat NO

youre actually braindead. all masters and champions events had the best of the best teams at their respective times. and u wanna know what the funny thing is? sea went as far as na did in champions. consistency > 1 time wonder. we will see next masters if sea is all that

you are right lets just wait till next masters

Clearly better than NA
If you are really an esport fan,
SEA is clearly better than NA as a whole region
SEA just behind EMEA
KR - 1/2 team region
BR - sama rank as NA
Ibis [#38]1 tournament. In masters SEA did shit and NA always was clearly better. Plus in champs only 2 SEA teams (one of them in an easy group) got to quarters either
easy group? lol both ts and vks put up a fight to gambit. All of the team qualifying into champions are strong. It is a matter of strat
WiseGorbachev [#40]Imo
EMEA>>>>>NA>>>KR>SEA>LATAM(one team region so far, need to see how leviatan perform internationally)>BR>JP
how do you rank latam low because of one team region, but kr as one team region too higher than sea. even in apac lcq full sense destroyed nuturn 13-0 and damwon 13-1
WiseGorbachev [#40]Imo
EMEA>>>>>NA>>>KR>SEA>LATAM(one team region so far, need to see how leviatan perform internationally)>BR>JP
also emea isnt that far, prx,xerxia,team secret managed to take 1 map out of emea teams. gambit and acend almost lost to vikings and vivo keyd respectively, and even crazy racoon managed to pull an overtime in master against gambit
GznG [#63]how do you rank latam low because of one team region, but kr as one team region too higher than sea. even in apac lcq full sense destroyed nuturn 13-0 and damwon 13-1
Nuturn at Reykjavik and VS at berlin put us respectable results compared to SEA at those 3 events, SEA only got to playoffs at champs though freelo VKS and a decent win over NV, then TS got sat down by acend and gambit beat x10 comfortably 2-1, the only map they dropped which was ascent which they already had like a 5 game losing streak on and even dropped it to KRU the next day, overall last year KR performed way better
GznG [#64]also emea isnt that far, prx,xerxia,team secret managed to take 1 map out of emea teams. gambit and acend almost lost to vikings and vivo keyd respectively, and even crazy racoon managed to pull an overtime in master against gambit
NO WAY A MAP🙀🙀🙀🙀
PRX took a map off SMB 14-12 who were joke fucking onliners anyways but still got rolled 13-2 after that
TS caught gambit off guard in their first game of the event, then got their tits fucked 13-0 after
The only actual comfortable map win they had was x10 over gambit on ascent 13-7 but that was legit gambit worse map, they were on like a 7 map losing streak on it I think and dropped it to KRU the day after as well, just so delusional that were brining in map wins because everyone knows they can't stick with emea through a whole series

im not saying we're comparable to emea, im just saying that emea is not that far away, especially that apac is much more competitive. if we compare the result in reykjavik and now apac is the most improved region. given the playercount (indonesia and philippines alone makes the 10% of the global playercount) the future is looking good for apac
