Current means Toronto

EMEA falloff??????????

last 4 grand finals apperances (the 4 grand finals that Asia has won):

1. EMEA: 3/4 grand finals (Masters Shanghai, Champs Seoul, Masters Toronto)
2. PAC: 3/4 grand finals (Masters Shanghai, Kickoff Masters Bangkok, Masters Toronto)
3. CN: 1/4 grand finals (Champs Seoul)
4. AMER: 1/4 grand finals (Kickoff Masters Bangkok)

and you may think Americas is dogshit after looking at that^. but Top 4 Stats in the last 4 tournaments (the 4 tournaments Asia has won):

1. AMER: 6/16 Top 4s (2x Shanghai, 2x Seoul, 1x Bangkok, 1x Toronto)
2. EMEA: 4/16 Top 4s (1x Shanghai, 1x Seoul, 1x Bangkok, 1x Toronto)
3. PAC: 3/16 Top 4s (1x Shanghai, 1x Bangkok, 1x Toronto)
4. CN: 3/16 Top 4s (1x Seoul, 1x Bangkok, 1x Toronto)

winning trophies does not mean best region or best region by miles. Otherwise people wouldnt be saying AMER > EMEA in 2023 while FNATIC was winning everything.

current (Toronto):
PAC: PRX, GEN.G
EMEA: FNC, TL
AMERICAS: G2

2025 overall:
PAC: PRX, T1, maybe GEN.G, maybe DRX
EMEA: FNC, TL, VIT
AMERICAS: G2, maybe SEN

we truly do know which region is the 1 team region. EMEA is still good lol

No Derke???????????????????
and bro has cryo, zekken, jingg, and zmjjkk

WHAT THE FUCK?????????

Derke is literally better than jingg (by a LOT) in everything u mentioned for jingg, let alone what u didnt mention

zekken isnt even top 20

holy FUCKING SHIT THIS GUY HAS RECENCY BIAS LIKE INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

NO DERKE???????????????????
AHHHHHHHHHHHH

DRX was ur highest placement at champs 2024 (saved your region from total embarassment)

placements at champs 2024:
fraudPAC: 5th-6th, 9th-12th, 9th-12th, 13th-16th
EMEA: 2nd, 5th-6th, 9th-12th, 13th-16th
AMER: 3rd, 4th, 7th-8th, 9th-12th
CN: 1st, 7th-8th, 13th-16th, 13th-16th

hasnt even been a year since this shit performance from fraudPAC. Even worse than EMEA and AMER worst performances

i think it will be EDG, TH, LEV
CN > EMEA > AMER > fraudPAC???

1. First, why are we using Aspas's preference? He also may be saying that cuz he won a champs already, but whatever.
2. Teams are not at their peak at champions. The meta in this game constantly changes.

still we say that the best team of 2021 was Gambit, 2022 OPTIC, 2023 FNATIC, 2024 GEN.G

it isnt as important in Valorant. nobody cares about Acend, Eg, Edg

deluded

+played every role in the game
+has multiple high stats at international tournaments (best stats overall at ints)
+on Gambit 2021 (best team of 2021). on FNATIC 2023 (best team of 2023)

season 3 is like a season 2 part 2 basically (they are shorter seasons that shouldve just been together)

its not as bad as people say. still worth watching to see what happens (if you have the time)

the reason ppl say it was bad is because there were a few storylines with unsatisfying endings leading to people seeing the screen time for those storylines as a waste of time. People also disliked the inclusion of one character that kinda ruined the Squid games part of season 3.

DO NOT CLICK THE SPOILER IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED

deluded

bro forgot the actual #1 phantom skin: Prism
will give u the aim of the best phantom gamer: nAts

nerves in an off season-like tournament against an EMEA bum team (M8s)????

NAVI shouldnt be hiring players like that lmfao.

ngl FNC vs M3C fracture (1st map in the series) was the greatest map ive watched and even better than the 23-21 on Split

it was the perfect showcase to understand the type of team FNATIC is.

Hands >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Feet
hands are one of the deciders for sure

lmfaoooo

nah I genuinely believe FNATIC lose

4 EU vs NA:

1. FNC vs 100T
2. TEAM HERETICS vs NRG
3. BBL vs SEN
4. KC vs G2

FNC 0-2 100T, TH 1-2 NRG, BBL 2-0 SEN, KC 1-2 G2

4 PAC vs CN:

1. PRX vs BLG
2. DRX vs XLG
3. RRQ vs TITAN
4. GEN.G vs EDG

PRX 2-0 BLG, DRX 2-0 XLG, RRQ 2-0 TITAN, GEN.G 1-2 EDG

cNed in Berlin 2021
Alfajer in Copenhagen 2022 ig

dont forget how hard they fell off at Champs 2024 though (also the 2024 region ranking by average placement is AMER > EMEA > PAC > CN)

also all 3 of PAC's grand final wins have been close (3-2, 3-2, 3-1). They also had map advantage in all 3, which makes the 2nd team look just as good as them or even better.

until a PAC team can win dominantly or a PAC team wins from lower bracket, we arent in the pac era

its called being an EMEA fan

ewwww

better:
FNATIC, NAVI, TH, TL, SENTINELS, NRG, 100T, DRX, GEN.G, PRX (10 team playoffs trust)

he isnt top 10 all time yet

nah he is underrated
last year, people were calling him the EMEA GOAT since he had just been so good from 2021-2024.

all of a sudden, people forgot how good he was for 4 years and can only remember 2025 IGL. recency bias is insane

has to be Sayf right now

people forgot he carried Team Liquid in 2023 and Team Vitality in 2024 to EMEA grand finals with pretty much EMEA bum teammates/washed teammates.

he also carried GUILD with Leo & Trexx in 2021-2022 (one of the best Jetts & Chambers)

now that he decided to IGL in 2025, suddenly he was "never" good

aspas? not good with raze

also bro described Leo and Aspas and changed Leo to Aspas

no TenZ
no FNS

too boring

FNC vs DRX is the dream finals (Will Boaster be able to retire peacefully or will MaKo finally get his trophy?)

you forgot derke, boaster and less
