your region's been on life support for two years buddy
no viewership, no wins, no stories

bro is following me around everywhere lol
really that mad?

you realize he's referring to eu = 0, na = 10, right?
eu + na = 0 + 10
not such a great post now, is it?

you can't look at the gameplay and say FNC was miles ahead of SEN and G2
but you can look at the gameplay and say SEN and G2 were miles ahead of TH & TL.

the thing is, gameplay is subjective, especially when it comes to a whole region—and people absolutely forget the worst performers. Sure, FNC played well—but did the rest of Europe? That's what stats attempt to resolve—a more objective take.

i agree w this
people seem to equate top team with overall region
apac is probably a two team region (rrq looked pretty bad tbf) but their two teams are stronger than americas two teams.

region ≠ team
"dominant fashion"

when the stats don't work out in my favor = mental gymnastics

Yes, I've been baiting a good amount, but the VLR forums have reached new levels of recency bias and anti-American sentiment.

So let's take an objective look at region ranking:

Suppose we assign 1 point to 11th-12th, 3 points to 9th-10th, 5 points to 7th-8th, 7 points to 5th-6th, 8 points to 4th, 9 points to 3rd, 10 points to 2nd, and 11 points to 1st.
Probably the fairest way of finding the "average" strength of a region---no manipulated biased curves, "eye test" arguments, or region-based bias.

• APAC has 22-23 points this event: 5 RRQ + 7 GENG + 10 to 11 PRX.
• China has at least 17 points this event, and up to 19: 3 BLG + 5 XLG + 9 to 11 Wolves
• Americas has 16 points this event: 1 MIBR + 7 SEN + 8 G2.
• Even if FNC win the whole event, EMEA will have 15 points this event. Which is unlikely, since FNC still has to face Wolves, the most goated team to grace VCT. This would make EMEA's point total 13 points: 1 TH + 3 TL + 9 to 11 FNC.

Hence, this event is APAC>>CN>AMER>EMEA by purely point totals.
You could make the argument AMER>CN since AMER is 4-0 against CN teams this event, and their point total is pretty close. But you could also say CN>AMER if you want to truly base this purely off point totals.

Regardless, the points make it clear that APAC is #1 and EMEA is #4. People don't seem to give the fact that two EMEA teams bombed out immediately enough weight.

Americas is 4-0 against Chinese teams this event
I have no idea which time frame you are talking about

right just like how Vitality did so at Bangkok.
or how FNC beat SEN at Seoul.
or how KC made it to playoffs and knocked out SEN at Madrid.

cherry picking at its finest.

recency bias go brrr
in all honesty an objective ranking is APAC>>>AMER>CHINA>>>>>EMEA

unfortunately emea frogs can't handle a reality check

your region couldn't even beat CN teams lmao
FNC didn't have competition they had smoke spams

ikr
the insecurity is palpable

finally someone with some sense on this forum
its been overrun with drunk delusional emea glazers

stats don't lie
maybe win a trophy lol
first time making the top 3 this year and yall have the biggest egos in the world

exactly im not from emea, someone's a little slow in the head
not surprising tbh

boo hoo someone's a little upset their team is going to choke again

1 apac
2 americas
3 china
4 tier 2 amercas apac china
7 tier 3 americas apac china
10 tier 3 india
11 my ranked games
12 fnc
13 other tier 1 emea
14 heretics

lemme bait in peace its too fun getting emea fans mad they have the biggest egos and act like that they're the best despite statistically being the worst region in valorant

emea in three words

fnc is the definition of lucky
how many more handouts does emea need

they most definitely were not before
typing all caps, everything is +1/-1, linking irrelevant games

yeah bro we know ur pressed

HAHAHA this is emea's best

i agree imagine ever thinking emea could compare against na

he hasn't won in two years
never was the goat and never will be

so pressed you're upvoting yourself and downvoting everyone else lmao

keep believing these delusions

who's we?

only a fnc fanboy would think this game is close
fnc getting crazy spam and collat kills, double pistol, and still losing

would be embarrassing to lose to them then

this guy talks so much shit yet i haven't seen him win a duel without spamming through a smoke

that's not saying much

where they don't get 3+ kills by randomly spamming a smoke

its actually called ethnocentrism and in-group bias dummy, look it up

and you have to be deluded to think xenophobia is more present in NA than EU

ultra processed food fed NA brain

wouldn't expect a drunk eu bum to understand anything

now this is the perfect example of a region in pure denial
and lashing out w racism too
no wonder you guys haven't won in two years
no wonder emea is statistically the worst region in this game

bro dropped the flair the same day geng lost diabolical

holy cope
yall won the craziest rng clutches and still mad
emea always needs more handouts

cuz their delulu and don't realize foxy9 is geng's best player

they can't even win with double pistol crazy spam kills free 0.01s rng rounds

yeah when fnc lose

you got the wrong read

americas is the best itw

where's all the G2 haters now

people can't fathom praising an americas team, especially sen or g2

wdym foxy9 is geng's best player

gotta love the armchair analyst who thinks he knows the game better than the coaches

what echochamber are you living in? the same one that said before the tournament that TH were the favorites?
fnc got lucky making it to the top 6

gonna need a lot of tech pauses for that one to come true

sen also improved over the tournament
and half the teams in this tournament don't even have more than 1 win entirely

what is this one-sided logic
