EMEA & NA downfall

#1

RzqoFoxie

I felt like quite a few people called it a few years back.
EU has shown some strength with FNC and TH recently and Americas with G2 (kinda). But Pacific and CN did end up winning the Masters and Champions (4 in a row)
Y'all seeing a comeback for EU and Americas or are we going the direction of LoL?

Nah they're coming back in 2027 when we get actually good orgs americas more than emea will improve from this though (they really really need new teams imo)

I feel like despite Pacific and CN winning the last 4 events, NA and EU teams have still be competitive in all 4 tournaments so it isn't going in the direction of LoL yet, I will say Pacific seems to be the strongest and closest region at the moment though.

you have been brainwashed.

look at the real stats:

finals appearances in the last 5 events (the 5 events since asia has won its international trophies):

emea: 5
pac: 3
amer: 1
cn: 1

top 4 appearances in the last 5 events:

emea: 6
amer: 6
pac: 5
cn: 3

just cuz pacific and china fluked four 3-2, 3-2, 3-2, 3-1 grand finals wins doesnt mean the west fell off

Probably counts ewc that's my guess then the numbers add up but I don't think that retracts from the main point

500k prize money for winner > 50k. Top teams qualified thru stage 1 for ewc > invited teams for red bull

idiot cant do math

maybe its time to sit down and contemplate if those four times were really flukes.

Asians are like robots ( in a bad way) they never get tired after map 5 so they win when everyone else is exhausted

EMEA is already good enough to beat Asian teams.

And China is shit.

Nah I don’t think so
Val has just been a really good esport for regional parity
EMEA and NA teams still go far in tournaments and still make finals

You call it a downfall. I call it Asian teams finally shooting back. We aren't the same.
