Toughest Region for Int’l Quals?

Don’t you think APAC has the hardest road to internationals? Tons of talent but not many slots, so every qualifier’s intense. NA’s got like 4 good teams, so it feels a bit different there. EMEA’s mostly a top 3 now, and China’s still kinda unpredictable after Masters Bangkok. If any region’s a real grind, it’s gotta be APAC, right?

Ye

i mean yeah apac is a genuine toss up

APAC and CN are toss ups

EMEA
for sure rn
they have M8s fnc th tl navi bblfut kc who are potenial 4s for champs

EMEA is close too, but kinda more for APAC since FNC basically gaps everyone in EMEA.
One bad thing I observe is that ‘new’ APAC internationals team that qualified from the “tough” road might not necessarily perform well in internationals since they are not experienced/used to other playstyles (especially slow-ones from EMEA), they are just very used to fighting the aggressive playstyles in APAC, but I guess that could also be recency bias from observing how poorly RRQ performed…
I mean it also took some time for PRX to adapt, even with their own distinctive playstyle

Apac -> EMEA —————> americas-> EDG and friends

apac and cn sent different teams to bangkok and toronto this year so yeah it’s definitely them
