Ihe three VCT leagues are going to be crazy. If the Lock In has already turned out to be an incredible tournament, with the best players in the world, When they can start fueling, with already more time in their equipment, the competition will be fierce and at a very high level.
With that clear, it is legitimate to wonder which is the biggest competition of the three, whether EMEA, Americas or Pacific. The subconscious pulls to think of the first two, since the 2021 world champions were European and the South Americans 2022. Now Lock In places EMEA as the most important.
EMEA, the best region
It is true that, if we see the side Alpha led supportEuropean teams did not achieve great results. All of them, including the three Spaniards, crashed between the first and second rounds. But it’s also true that the rivals who knocked them out were top tier: NRG for Giants and KOIs, and Evil Geniuses for Team Heretics.
LOUD and DRX are the two teams from this group. But it is that the Omega is where we can concentrate the advantage of the EMEA. The two best teams, it seems, in our region are Fnatic and NaVi, the two teams that reached the semi-finals of Lock In, on the same side.
And beyond that, they could be blamed that the crossings were easier for them, which, although false, can also be refuted. If we talk about players, of the 10 who have the most rating have reached according to VLR, seven are from EMEA.
The first two are NaVi’s Shao with 1.45 there Fnatic’s Leo with 1.37. Behind them GenG’s K1NGand in fourth place Zyppan, also from NaVi, with 1.36, like K1NG. Close the first five positions Derke, with 1.30. they follow him Mako, from DRX, cNed from NaVi, Cloud, from Giants, Mwzera, from Furia, y Chronicle, from Fnatic.
