Overrated af. Buts its the classic Americas overrate. Its been a thing since start of VCT. I've said this since 2021 but for example EMEA is always looked at from negative pov. Why team won?: because other team played like shit. In Americas why team won?: because they played well and the other team played well as well. Its literally been the case since forever looking at vlr, reddit, even casters and co-streamers. People love to hate on EMEA for some reason even people related to EMEA and ALWAYS focus on negatives over positives, and I think that Pacific is slowly getting there as well.
NRG and MIBR are good obviously, but the region as a whole is not much better than others. People only say this because NRG won Champs. They talk about MIBR top 6 finish like they won an event, while G2 didn't look winning level and have been on down spiral placing lower and lower each event. People only hype FURIA and 100T because both have performed better than expected(especially FURIA) and 100T have a lot of fans. They are not clearly better than teams like NAVI or FNC for example.
