If ZETA win vs prx:
Jp = Kr (ZETA vs DRX 1-1) > SEA (DRX vs PRX 1-0, zeta vs prx 1-0)
If PRX win vs ZETA:
Jp=Kr=SEA. At this point, if prx beat zeta, yall are equally goated.
If ZETA win vs prx:
Jp = Kr (ZETA vs DRX 1-1) > SEA (DRX vs PRX 1-0, zeta vs prx 1-0)
If PRX win vs ZETA:
Jp=Kr=SEA. At this point, if prx beat zeta, yall are equally goated.
Bruh they had 1 ticket to masters so you can't really judge them + some of yall SEA fans are overdosed with copium and hopium, blinded by some weird nationalism
LCQ?!?! That was last year? FS qualified after 3-2 win vs NTH, got destroyed by VS, and apart from FS, idt any SEA team beat kr? Snap back to reality
No one called yall a fluke KEK. Why are u raging just because i said jp and kr is above u guys if zeta wins this series? Just go to sleep LMAO
Prove it without bringing up last year. And don't forget, NUTURN got 3rd, ZETA top 4 rn, while TS got that rank after beating shit jp team and br team, xerxia knocked out in groups etc.
Only sea fans? lmao talk about latam eu na about weird nationalism. Especially eu always wanting to beat na in every single things.
What team? Acend where the guy who made eu win is cned the turkish guy the asian guy? Lmao
Delusional + just argues without proper facts. Koreanoverlord is so much better than this tony lad. Although Koreanoverlord can be quite annoying sometimes
true. he hardcarries with the hopium though hes like the sergio ramos of vlr you want him on ur side but prob hate him when hes not
why the ranking is based on the team who beat drx who finish worst than both of the team? if it based on this year only like you said and not bringing past performance last year shouldn't it be drx is the 3rd place?
Uh i just put drx first, it is not based on who beat drx? And also 3 of them are the only asian teams in the playoffs. Plus drx have played both teams, zeta 2 times, and now that seta met prx the triangle is completed between asian teams
oh got it, but I still thinks drx should be last even if zeta beat prx, just based on this tournament. the nerves is got to drx player whenever they go map 3.
Not to break anyone's expectations, but if i'm not mistaken, the only time japan actually won ONE match in an international event was on Masters Berlin 2021 against Liberty, which was a pretty weak team to begin with. Sure, they've been playing reeeeeally good on this tournament, but i think you all should wait a bit to see if they'll keep some consistency before taking JP as the best asian region. Maybe taking ZETA as the best asian team instead?
rent free what? bro just repeat "rent free" who was started by NA, you became a sheep, are you even EU?
Bro i didn't even mention emea, and yall need to bring it into this thread? Living RENT FREE
Well i didn' even mention EMEA once and here he is, saying that emea is not allowed to talk. Living rent free + this is how u use it dumbass
The only team that beat PRX are from the APAC(North) also so i think this is valid.
best teams from both single team regions can defeat best SEA team but the region as a whole is what decides who is better and KR and JP arent if they were they would have got more slots
lmao aslong as riot shares the same opinion who cares about morons like you xD
KR no.1 and JP no.1 might be better than APAC no.1 at the moment but both regions only have 1 competitive team at this level. All the other teams would get rekt in APAC challengers.
That being said, there were a lot of biases in this tournament. PRX, DRX and Zeta are regular scrim partners. That means both DRX and Zeta have an advantage over PRX who play less on well-executed stats and more on chaos.
Both knew exactly how to counter their aggression which honestly teams from NA/BR/EMEA cannot do because this is an extremely fresh playstyle for them.
Overall SEA as a region is still better as even SEA seed 2 and even seed 3-6 (very close competition) have good chances of winning at least one game in this tourney. Cannot say the same for other regions.
i think ONS can do pretty decent, and CR is probably getting some maps off other regions or a win. But yea SEA is very competitive but it could also be because there are a lot more countries that play in the playoffs.
agree. I think Damwon, ONS, and WGS could do well if they were in the APAC VCT ngl, considering they were close against each other, ONS beat DRX, and WGS almost did the same too.
and in JP, CR could do well too imo.
Mhm. Korea and Japan while having alot of really good talents, just can't compare to APAC when it comes to talent depth / pool, really just due to population. If APAC can get the funding it need, such as bleed esport ( if they invest in local grown talent but sadly not ) it might grow into a true powerhouse region like Europe in csgo, Korea in LOL, or the abyss-like talent pool of SEA in Dota.
Also another thing going for APAC valorant is the sheer amount of players the region has for a game. On PC, valorant is probably the most played game in the entirety of APAC ( not including china for now ) so theres even more talent to be pull out. A simple example a a radiant top 10 that was not signed simply because he was too young ( juicyy), yes too young to play despite being top 10
a better example would be Surf lmao rank 8 and 2-0's OpTic in his first international tournament. kid's cracked.
