We do watch and we often have to bleach our eyes by how bad the quality of games are
Y'all still play the game like you're in 2022/2023, and there's a reason why people would love to face a CN team in the Swiss / Group stage of a tournament
Just watch any game between the middle of the pack teams in China and compare that to every other region. The difference is night and day
FPX vs WOL was a nightmare to watch, and WOL literally made top 3 at Toronto lmfao, it made games like TLN vs NS look good
The average game in china is a lot better than the last years, there are some veryy muddy games like nova against drg but the average to top is beginning to look very good
Average to top LMAOOOOO
More like just the top 2 teams at BEST. BLG is China's 2nd best and they look so lost against teams outside China. Just shows the level of competition
A G2 without leaf playing with their assistant coach, good job on that
Didn't beat KC though, and KC is like 6th best in EMEA. If EMEA's 6th best team can defeat China's 2nd best, I don't need to say more
They still got dogwalked in EMEA and only made playoffs cuz they had KOI and M8 in their group. That's not a good team, and god knows how they made it to EWC but they're definitely not even top 5 in EMEA to be fair...
you’re right, but you gotta remember china’s always been that one region where mostly every team is just average, nobody’s really good or bad
nongshim being competent on every other game but ivy plays iso on the talon game i think they might be a charity organization
nongshim never won against talon so if u dont want talon there i dont think nongshim belongs there too
Talon? What? I would want to put xlg as competent but we will see in stage 2. Maybe fpx and edg can be there as well if they do good in stage 2
nah xlg is dead dead. losing YOU was tough on them, tho atm BLG dont even look bad
give edg and xlg some time with zjc and noman, I will openly admit that they are not competent if they don't do well in stage 2 and champs. we can't say anything right now.
I agree that APAC and EMEA are looking like the strongest regions, but this post might be overestimating them a bit.
can only trust team heretics if they do this at champions, they revived for a brief period then bombed out of toronto
I would drop
NRG
BBL
KC
T1
Talon
And add at least EDG to China.
I'd you want to include BBL/KC/Talon, you kinda need to include the midish americas teams: MIBR/KRU/EG. But with the word competent, I don't think any of them qualify.
Mibr is an embarrassment, KRU peaked 4 years ago, and Yay hasn’t made a LAN since LOCK-in (everyone made that LMAO)
I’ll rate those teams when they actually do something 🥱
BBL/KC/Talon are miles better than mid table Americas
That's part of the post. Even SEN and NRG are huge stretches.
0/8 ragebait
china is better than pausemea shitters and am0ricas
apac and china > everyone
BLG > G2
I wonder when was the last time that blg actually beaten a complete, non-crippled roster (not affected by unfortunate circumstances) in an international event in 2024 and 2025.
whzy and midget (rushia) carry the team but with l0uis blg is basicly crippled. i love him but he has the gamesense of a silver player
1 br0nzil team carried by the NA player and 0 latam teams in the past 2 masters LMAO you cannot be talking with a kru badge and an a country flag thats only relevant for football
KC kinda looks like frauds can peak very highly but only consistency is suygetsu
finally found someone that does not give a fuck about ewc results at all, although I might say that fnatic was the only eu team that did not get grouped in toronto
you must be joking putting talon there
geng
prx
drx
t1
still the most competent in the region... only prx can compete with the korean... yes it is in that order..
yes rrq run is a fluke that will never happen again... dont get me start on boom and talon..
TLN kinda unlucky, they faced all korean teams in the last four games of split1 and managed to win two out of the four. killua and thyy were the top apac rookies before the league started, but TLN changed their roster too late(after kickoff), so they didn't have time to practice with the new team. Now they have time to rest and prepare for Split 2
EMEA should be first, also you should remove TLN, and we haven't even seen the new rosters play from EMEA so they might have even more
imo China but we've seen very little of WOL or FPX who seem best rn
EDG is shaky, but BLG has surprised me even against frauds.
G2 looks fine if washed with leaf, without isn't even worth mentioning. NRG we've seen none of. SEN is DRX levels of trolling right now. I don't think id count either until a coaching change
The gap between Emea and Americas is way bigger than the gap between emea and apac
Get rid of Talon and T1 and add RRQ. Add MIBR or 100T, whichever doesn't matter; they're close. BLG makes the list if KC makes the list.
