There is no upset anymore, last year you could say that a team from a minor region beat NA or EMEA in the beginning or middle of 2021 was upset but not in 2022. All regions are evolving (JP is still evolving very slowly) and the gap is decreasing, a year ago Fnatic playing with 2 subs would still beat any team from BR, KR, LATAM or APAC, but today if any team underestimates and does not prepare for any specific region they will have a very difficult time. It's time to review what minors regions are and the only truly Major region is EMEA (but that doesn't mean they are too far above the other regions)

KR was the only minor region that was very strong in beginning, and as the year progressed, the level of their teams dropped. Only in Champions were all minors at a satisfactory competitive level (apart from JP).

It's annoying really, but it's very good for betting, the underdog gets very high odds for no reason.

very true, i think we really saw at champions that it comes down to the players not the regions anymore. a favourite team isnt always gonna beat the "underdog" anymore, no need to call anything an upset anymore
