in my mind, a competitive team means that a team had a chance to go to a event and/or were able to play with/on par with highest level teams consistently during the stage. Full breakdown is hidden but if you want you can click for more info on how I made the ranking
- CN: 11 competitive teams, 1 non competitive
- AME: 10 competitve, 2 non competitve
- PAC: 9 competitive, 3 non competitive
- EMEA: 7 competitive, 5 no competitive

Not competitive (yet): JDG
some anaylsis:
CN is the most competive region which I think can be attributed to the level of play being lower
EMEA is the least competitve which I attribute to it having the biggest gap between the top teams and the bottom teams
AME despite its 2nd place has never looked that competitive (to me) but its mostly due to teams peaking at different times and not alot being competitive at the same time
PAC despite being 3rd place is often called the most competitve region (and I say the same) but majority of it was by the same teams before this stage-before this stage it wasnt that much more competive than other regions
