no
yes
Loud hard carrying the region
If you go by having the best team, yes, but I don't think the rest of the region is comparable in strength. Hope Loud winning champs can improve the strength of the Brazilian/SA scene as a whole. Would be nice to see.
No region is the best region, honestly any of them only has 1 truly worthy world class contender
BR- LOUD
NA- OPTC
CIS- FPX
APAC- PRX
EU- FNC
KR- DRX
JP- ZETA
LATAM- LEV
no 2nd team from any region was a world title contender at anypoint this year
W
fnc?
world title contender at any point this year
based take
agreed, but xset came very close at the end
All regions kinda have their 2nd good team, but at the end only the 1st ones can really go to upper finals/lower finals
exactly my point
they werent ever cosidered as actual title contenders
they beat FPX (2-0), FNATIC (2-0) at LAN, and were extremely close to beating LEV and FPX again in both tournaments (double OT maps to LEV, 14-16 to FPX). Had they won a few more rounds, they would've been title contenders.
Not really because you probably need more than one team in your region that is actually an International title contender.
No, the gap between loud and the other teams is currently quite high
EU -> 50 countries, 750 mi pop, 0 Super Team
BR -> 1 country, 210 mi pop, 1 Super Team
stop talking shit about "1 team region"
Tu não entendeu, ele quis dizer que o Brasil com um tamanho consideravelmente menor de times competitivos conseguiu um Montar um super time, o que é um fato.
REGION RANKINGS:
2021 OVERALL: EU > NA > KR > LATAM > APAC > BR > JP
2022 OVERALL: NA = EU > BR > KR > APAC > LATAM > JP (not just one team, all team of the region performance)
i did the science for eu=na - https://www.vlr.gg/143631/why-eu-and-na-are-equal-this-year
not even top 3
nah, they need some improvement but they're showing great promise after this champions
Americas is best region
