That’s a bold take
Personally (although I’m somewhat biased), I think it could be Nth, DK, NU, or FS

Nuturn boutta get destroyed by DWG if they win this match

It's very fun to watch because you never know who will win
Only downside is the amount of toxicity getting thrown around :/

Wait till the tournament ends to rank the APAC teams at least, it's too hard to rank teams based off of 2 games alone, especially with how inconsistent APAC has been so far
(LATAM and APAC seem like the two hardest regions to overlap imo aswell, so it's hard for me to really have a reasonable opinion)

Ahh yes, the classic Brazilian rivalry
This game’s going to be hype

Teams have definitely stepped up since Reykjavik but losing Lakia is the major reason why they have fallen off, not that NU were shit in the first place

With Lakia, I’m confident that they would’ve at least made the GF in the LCQ

I do agree that NU aren’t top 10 material right now though

You can get your point across without being plain toxic you know

As a Korean, I agree that SA deserve a masters slot

But don’t attack the KR region tho, people gotta stop acting like the entire region is terrible except for VS

Just because VS are so much better then anything else in the region doesn’t mean the rest of the KR is weak

VS are just miles above anything produced by Asia so far, making the rest of the region look weak when compared, so I think it’s kind of an over statement to call VS “Korea’s life saver”

Name doesn’t check out ;(

Gg GE
Great game, nothing to be ashamed of

This F4Q has some of the worst individual decision making I’ve ever seen from their team

Not the same one we saw in Berlin

Game’s not over yet
I don’t want to jinx my boy Seoldam

Easily one of the most entertaining players to watch

Hopefully Breeze

Jett dashed because he got baited by the Sova drone that instantly got cancelled
Really smart play by Ten

Holy shit, what a comeback
JP really did get better fast

I'm guessing GE will be able to at least get past F4Q, they're trying too hard to reinvent themselves with a play style similar to Gambit rather then imitating SEN's play style like they were before Berlin

Beating NU also seems plausible now, especially if Hyeoni has an off day like yesterday, but I think that match will be a lot harder to win and the entire roster has to be popping off (kinda like Full Sense did)

imo:
F4Q 40% vs GE 60%
NU 80% vs GE 20%

If I were GE, I'd ban split against F4Q
they're scary on that map if Bunny uses Raze instead of Jett

PRX 2-0 Nth
DWG 2-1 BOOM
GE 2-0 F4Q

APAC is the most fun LCQ region to watch, change my mind

KR has been getting shit on like crazy this event too

when GE lost 13-0 to PRX, GE fans deflected making stuff like "DK laugh thread"

when F4Q lost we got threads on how "KR has fallen off" and "KR overrated"

when NU lost we got like five 13-0 threads and 1/2 of all the comments on the page are literally '13-0s'

now people are using KR's results in the LCQ to justify why VS aren't actually good and how they just luckily "antistratted EU" in Berlin

You gotta realize that you're not the only fanbase getting shit on atm
The truth is that every region gets shit on at some point or another, and you just gotta live with it

GE 2-0
F4Q have been looking terrible this entire tournament and I don’t even see them getting a map tbh

Would love to be proven wrong though and will still be cheering for them
#F4QWIN

When u say “I guess Korean teams thought it would be an easy slot” you imply that they believed they were by far better then SEA teams and what they deserved by getting destroyed, making it sound like you believe they have large egos

I can assure you that even if the fans may have large egos, the KR teams are incredibly humble

KR teams did not think it would be a free win

NU and F4Q prepared but got aim diffed badly
DWG did not expect to be in the event and; therefore, had very little time to prepare + they were literally in the middle of a roster change

It was not an ego thing

Yeah, not sure why everyone is being so toxic

Tournaments not over and the region in general is getting stronger overall by playing each other and building off of each other’s strats

Gl to all the teams left <3

“All they did was strat diff EU teams”
that’s literally the most tactically strong region imo ;-;

This is the worst NU have looked all year

They can’t win a postplant
Pistol rounds get thrown and bonuses are pretty much impossible for them to convert on

Nt NU, but this was a pretty poor performance all around

Fakeflagger
Even if you aren’t, you were a fake fan

For me it’s a no brainer to put him on Jett though

His Skye has not been performing well at all and while his Jett is potentially the best in KR

He wouldn’t single handily win the game but it would make a massive difference having a player not at 70 adr on an agent he doesn’t feel comfortable on

They look scary right now but NU also look decently out of form imo

Just put the boy on Jett, please ;-;

Idk if NU are saving Hyeoni’s Jett for a bigger match, but please don’t use it too late

I don’t want to see him end up like Lakia in Berlin

Most of the list seems reasonable, but you should give more credit to the Japanese teams imo

I feel like a lot of people are ignoring the fact that Fennel and Reject both played very respectable games against the SEA teams

I’m predicting a DK 2-0
SamuraiDeeper has been looking pretty unstoppable recently tho so there’s definitely upset potential

I’ll make another thread once the tournament ends, since I think it will be interesting to see how people’s opinions change in a week :)

What are the odds teams like TNL, VS, NU, DWG, and F4Q participate?

Also this is great for the scene since we’re yet to see such a large scale open qualifier in KR, if I’m not mistaken
Will hopefully help teams, like DWG, scout out upcoming talent

You have to make an account and hit save to share your tier list directly from the website

I'm really excited to watch Sengoku play, but I think it's a little early to put them that high

DWG, GE, and F4Q should also be higher imo, even if recent results make them look bad

I'm pretty bad at ranking SEA and SA so I'm sorry if it's a bad list :<
(order in tier doesn't matter btw)

link's broken for me

Since people have been ranking Asian teams a lot recently, I decided to make a tier list: https://tiermaker.com/create/asian-teams-1228666

Share your lists below (also tell me if I missed any major team)

1 - VS
2 - PRX
3 - NU
4 - CR
5 - TNL

X10 and TS are too hard to rate atm so I’m just going with safe picks

Sad to see people forgetting the entire reason why LG are even in the LCQ

Without Yaboidre, I doubt they would have made it this far
Dudes just having a rough game, give him a break

He's apparently playing it on other maps

They looked a lot more reformed then before and Seoldam was on one
Bunny also looked a little uncomfortable on Jett, but that’s just imo

Could definitely see them giving PRX a hard time

Regions just got better, KR didn’t fall off
VS and NU are still as dominant as ever as well and 2022 will see more orgs like Lunatic-hai and Ghibli enter the scene
Right now it seems bad, but i think the region’s doing fine atm

Both teams have been looking great recently
Exciting match, I’m predicting a 2-0 for PRX tho

This is just sad
If win: laugh at other region
If lose: laugh at another region for losing to our region

*APAC LCQ

Fennel and Reject have actually played a lot better then I expected
Maybe JP is starting to pick up on some stuff after international play

SamuraiDeeper is insane with the operator

Probably
I don't want to sound ungrateful, since I know that the production team are trying their best, but why wouldn't Riot just go with a better company?
The LCQ production should at least be on par with Challengers' production imo
