any doubters?
lmfao xerxia’s and prx’s international results are significantly less impressive than KRU’s, LOUD is more debatable but imo eye test significantly favors LOUD
KRU? They are semi finalists
What can PRX and weakened X10 do? They are weaker than Zeta now
not sure, i think VK > bleed and FURIA > BOOM most likely. even xerxia looked very messy in APAC playoffs
Why are people from APAC and Japan hating Brazil and South America for free recently in this forum?
Fair, but realistically this forum is just SA fans saying SA is better, and APAC fans saying APAC is better
Tbh I think the most important thing is the fact that these teams will scrim each other and that's going to lead to teams seeing a lot of development which should transfer to the region as well. Good examples are like Sea only managing to beat Japan to almost beating Smb and x10 beating envy.
High in copium.
LATAM has shown a very big leap in skill, micro and macro wise. Take for example E-Xolos Lazer, which took a a series from a 4-3rd contender at Champs. They showed very fresh micros and a good macro game that took KRÜ for surprise, and even took a map from Leviatan, 2nd best team in the region that also had a very big leap forward since the last season after signing Onur, ex KRÜ coach and easily top2 in the world. Needless to say KRÜ has one of the best macro games in the world right now and that without Onur has kept its dominance.
The region may be small in teams that can contest top EMEA teams, but every other region should be scared shitless to face any of the three mentioned in this entry.
I think one of the things you have to consider though is the meta change, changing the game can lead to less consistency and teams getting upset. I think the region as a whole hasn't really adapted as much to the meta as other regions and that's why I think you could say the region is weaker.
South America has more talent than all of Asia combined . They are really good at fps games but they have anger issues and get super emotional like their fans . They have potential to be the best imo .
