I know anything can happen in playoffs but let's say these teams make Tokyo
EMEA: NAVI, FNC, FUT and TL
Americas: NRG, C9 and LOUD
APAC: DRX, PRX and GENG
China: EDG and Attacking Soul Esports

only thing i know is that chinese teams wont win a game exept if they play against t1/geng
either LOUD vs C9/NRG grand finals or EMEA vs NA grand finals.
Not because LOUD is necessarily worse than the NA teams but because since they're only 1 team and NA will have 2 teams, there's a chance that NAVI< FNATIC, or DRX beats them beforehand, while even if one NA team dies the other one will probably survive in another bracket
unfair.
EMEA farmers league has 4 slots
APAC 2 team league has 3 slots
CHINA HAS TWO?!?
and Americas has only 3? why? by far the most powerful and competitive league
It’s crazy because there is a very real world where Lev send Loud to the lower bracket.
That would leave us with Lev qualifying.
Next we have c9 beating NRG for the 2nd slot.
That leaves Loud against NRG for the final spot in the Americas. An El Classico once again.
Imagine how much weaker the Americas look if it’s Lev, Loud, C9
There is a world; I disagree about the very real part.
On a serious note it would be tragic if Lev qualified to Tokyo for the Americas representation. I'm not a hater, but they just don't have what it takes to be a title contender like NRG/C9/LOUD.
If Taco decides to wake up, it will be dangerous for LOUD. But LOUD could show us what they've been cooking. Either way I can't wait to see LOUD go all out
China will be the best region in Tokyo. They will do things that no one thought was possible in tier 1 valorant. Maybe we find out why Edward is gaming (and/or who is he). And "Attacking Soul Esports" sounds like a cool name. Don't know any of the players there but pretty sure they are cool.
