i was a hater ngl but he is proving himself

sorry mta

yes, that’s what i said

at least it makes the debate about factual statements rather than baiters fueling the fire

the title is just clickbait of course i’m not gonna single-handedly end it

thank you for citing your sample size of 2

new lineup + different chemistry means you can't really use the past to 1:1 judge the future. of course it's a possibility but i don't see them losing to teams like Talon and Bilibili

i added [ALLAT] to account for zoomer attention spans 🔥 read a book

i mean if TH was better than SEN and PRX at Madrid then they would have won against them. The winner of the event had a statistically hard path to victory.

Compared to LOCK//IN, Fnatic played 3 Americas teams that were clearly not in form but had great victories against DRX 2022 core and LOUD 2022 core, 2 teams that were proven to be good

thank you welikefortniteandvalorant

it just upsets me seeing all these people fight over which region is best when they are the most equal in current skill and history than they have ever been

Why do people try to claim their region's superiority over the other? How can one region claim they are better than the other? At this moment in time, both regions are the most equal in stats and trophies than they have ever been. Ironically there's more similarities than the fans care to admit. Here's my statistical analysis of the history of EMEA vs. Americas Valorant:

EMEA Accomplishments:

1. 5 Trophies
2. Had Fnatic, an incredibly dominant team (1st LOCK//IN, 1st Tokyo 2023, 4th Champs 2023)
3. Had Gambit, the 2nd most dominant EMEA team (1st Berlin 2021, 2nd Champs 2021)
4. Had Acend, a team that won a Champs after a poor performance at the previous masters (5th-8th Berlin 2021, 1st Champs 2021)
5. Had FPX, who could have won 2 masters back to back (DNP Reykjavik 2022 due to the war but was VERY dominant in stage 1, 1st Copenhagen 2022 with a sub for a few games)
6. Currently no definitive best team (TH? FNC? even VIT?)

Americas Accomplishments:

1. 5 Trophies
2. Had Optic, an incredibly dominant team (1st Reykjavik 2022, 3rd Copenhagen 2022, 2nd Champs 2022)
3. Had EG, the 2nd most dominant Americas team (2nd Tokyo 2023, 1st Champs 2023)
4. Had LOUD, a team that won a Champs after a poor performance at the previous masters (Groups Copenhagen 2022, 1st Champs 2022)
5. Had SEN, who won 2 masters 2 years apart (1st Reykjavik 2021 and 1st Madrid 2024)
6. Currently no definitive best team (G2? LEV? even SEN?)

Common Arguments debating a better region:

Americas has 2 Champs while EMEA has 1!

Although Champs are definitely harder to win, Fnatic won LOCK//IN and Tokyo back to back which is also pretty impressive, something that Americas has never done. Additionally, FPX could have won Reykjavik and Copenhagen back to back but were stopped due to outside forces, so those together imo are equal to the 2nd Champs win.

LOCK//IN / Madrid doesn't count, fraud format and fraud masters!

1. LOCK//IN is a difficult one to judge, since Fnatic only had to play 5 series' to finish 1st, but every team was on an even playing field and it was a unique single-elimination format where the pressure was on.
2. Madrid was very similar to LOCK//IN, in the sense that both had original formats. While LOCK//IN had 32 teams and Madrid had 8, SEN arguably had a much harder run than Fnatic with TH (Shanghai runner up), KC (idk), LOUD (Champs 2022 win + Lock//In Core), PRX (constant podium finishes with core), and GenG (Shanghai winner) victories.
3. Both Fnatic and SEN beat 5 teams to get their Trophy and both Grand Finals ended 3-2, meaning the Trophy could have gone either way.

Americas / EMEA is a very deep region with a lot of talent compared to Americas / EMEA!

While I think last year Americas definitely had a more competitive region (EG, LOUD, & NRG vs. FNC), this year I disagree. Neither region has a clear best team, and I can see any of those teams (referring to #6) winning Champs 2024, whether it's a "fluke victory" or not. How it always is with VLR: if your favorite team loses, it's a fluke, if the other region's best team loses, the region is washed. It's all hypocritical.

Send this to someone claiming one region is better than the other!

i feel like he constantly gets the respect he deserves

im certain it is a 2 kd

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

you were insulting jinggg 2 months ago when SEN beat them, cause you were probably baiting as a SEN fan before

PRX fans aren't dumb like SEN fans though

⚠️ DO NOT INTERACT⚠️

⚠️ BULKYLETTUCE IS NOT A PRX FAN ⚠️ HE IS A BAITER ⚠️

⚠️ BULKYLETTUCE IS NOT A PRX FAN ⚠️ HE IS A BAITER ⚠️

rip daveeys :(

i didn't think icy was the best pickup but i never doubted eeiu for a second

LOL

hey man i don't think it will be but we'll see

i can understand trying to stand up for your favorite team but i don't see how he'll ever be an improvement, not trying to be a hater

i pray that a Middle East team or African team wins

because it happened, i was the desk alecks smashed

you're going to sit here and tell me mta is a good player on KRU? KRU started losing when he joined back 💀 i'm not even being a hater, the roster is worse with Klaus out and mta in

2 Americans
1 Brazilian
2 LATAM

LEV definitely a LATAM roster

i didn't even say the word "throwing" 😭 i'm catching strays for existing

most overrated team: PRX

If i made a thread right now saying PRX is winning Champs, i would get 50 downfrags and 7 death threats. Non-fans hyped them up for 1 event and now they're back to hating on them. They are not overrated on VLR 😭

self-bump is crazy

huge, now this guy confirmed his contract renewal so he can ruin kru for another year

people sleeping on icy

icy apoth and demon1 being on eg's reserve roster is crazy considering how they've played the past year

boostio thought she was his OnlyFan

Today I was at the games (I was holding the 100T are Piggies sign) and I was able to sneak backstage after 100T lost. When I turned the corner, eeiu and Boostio were yelling at each other pretty badly. I wasn't able to make out much but I heard Boostio yell the words "betrayal" and "Sophie" while eeiu was storming out of the hallway. Boostio saw me and starting running towards me to silence me, but I was able to outrun him due to his short legs.

I think sometime in the past week, eeiu tried to make a move on Sophie Rain, Boostio's "friend". I think Boostio felt betrayed because eeiu broke the Bro Code, since eeiu knew Boostio liked her. For the entire series, I could tell from my seat that Boostio was malding at eeiu, which created a negative team environment. I think after 2 maps eeiu had enough and started fighting Boostio on his calls, creating a divide in the team and causing 100T to lose an 11-7 lead on map 3. I hope this doesn't ruin the team forever.

pacific imo is PRX, DRX, and GenG (not ordered), the 4th slot could maybe have been better with RRQ/TS but Talon with Primmie could be stronger than people realize

and TS had the only victory against PRX in groups

sometimes a team's playstyle is countered by another team, doesn't make them a shit team entirely

if BLG don't get grouped then God above is looking down on them and protecting them

this isn't the first time G2 beat LEV, idk why you're shocked by this

i think both of these teams go to playoffs though

holy fuck 100T did not deserve to go to champs with that map 3

congrats KRU, thanks for proving Americas may be a 1-2 team region like EMEA 2023

bro ignoring Optic and EG i guess

that sounds like bias my friend, if your top teams lose to worse teams then your region is diverse, when other top teams lose to worse teams then that team is washed?

stopped winning trophies once other regions got an equal amount of slots 💀💀💀💀

mfs were carried by 3 slots to masters and 4 slots to champs, na got 2 slots to masters and 3 slots to champs

stopped winning once fnatic fell off

how many china matchup games did EMEA have?

also EMEA has historically had more teams go to events bc riot gave you guys 3 slots masters and 4 slots champs

also NA/Americas had: Berlin 2021, reykjavik 2022, copenhagen 2022, and Madrid 2024

what makes you think EMEA is the strongest region? cause VIT beat TH today? PRX beat GEN in split 1 finals yet PRX did bad in Shanghai. don’t be fooled by regional events, if that was the case then PRX would have 4 trophies

i fear that -lakia +davai (ignoring language) would create a super team far beyond anyone’s comprehension

GEN
TH
G2
FNC
PRX = LEV

bros stuck in 2021 with all 4 emea teams qualifying

you can’t just add correct to the title and then spit the worst shit ever

then does G2 beating 100T make Americas a deeper region or does that mean their #1 team fell off

EG was by far the best team at Champs, i even predicted EG to win over PRX

yeah it sucked but i’m a realist

I will not be able to stand the next 3 years of VLR if 100T does not qualify to champs. They have to win a single match, so please let them qualify.

i see 3 SEN players and 2 100T players on this list
