A year ago, only EDG was showing up from China at Internationals, that too barely. Every other team from that region would have the occasional good games like BLG vs NRG² or Heretics vs FPX but then fizzle out in thin air. Now it seems like the region has some real strength, like their top 2 can go head to head with most teams in the world and all that without EDG even qualifying. Does that mean they are perfect? No. But it's always nice to see the growth.

watching teams like trace blg and edg last year its clear they were studying tapes and actually becoming much more strategic in their game plans, even at bangkok trace and edg played relatively well, losing to both finalists in swiss and playoffs, but it was clear watching them that they would have to get better to keep up with the top of the league but watching stage 1 it looks like they top teams have regressed while the bottom teams improved slightly but only to a point where they are as good as the other regional teams that have regressed, still falling behind the competition, the only team that i can say has for sure gotten better enough to truly compete compared to last year is XLG
