Hello everyone I have returned and this is an article I was thinking about writing for a while now since masters iceLAN ended (sorry I cant do all the matches)

In this opinion piece i will discuss the regions in valorant and where do they belong in the tier list of worst to best countries. Also i will discuss what will be next after the post plant meta will be gone plus the surprises of the first international valorant tournament.

BR OVERRATED?

It is fair to say BR hugely disappointed in iceLAN and the SEA team X10 were actually pretty good. Honestly I thought X10 would be rolled but they put a great showing taking both maps the distance with the best BR team (13-11) (14-12) as well as this i enjoyed watching Patiphan play as it is quite refreshing seeing he isn't yet another jett one trick. Pathipan showed his versatility by playing viper and sage which he looked great on.

LIQUID CHOKING (AGAIN)

When liquid lost haven vs V1 my blood was boiling I thought the horrors of First strike were behind me but I saw Liquid crumble right before my eyes. I thought Jamppi had ironed out his problems with jett where he played too aggressive and he usually died because of his aggression but no he did that but with KILLJOY which is a agent suited for more passive playstyle on defense. Honestly LQD should have taken the match vs V1 (credit to V1 zellsis and penny both looked great and vanity son of steel did his homework) Also the most heinous crime has to be soulcas throwing away a free kill vs vanity

NA VS EU ANSWERED?

Sentinels had a excellent run at masters not dropping a single map to all the teams they played against. Shahzam definitely did his homework when he came to Europe and he adjusted the system where TenZ can thrive playing duelist. However you cant forget the other stars of the show dapr and zombs who both looked great (+sick as well). The question of EU vs NA has been answered? yes and i still believe EU is better for 2 reasons. In NA Sentinels are in a tier of their own and most teams are usually fighting for second place because they cant topple the mountain that is Sentinels. As well as this even dapr and shaz admitted EU is better and Tenz said cNed is a great jett player. Compared to CS (im sorry I just have to) EU has always been better because there are multiple teams that are in the top (G2,mouz,VP and GMB) and the only teams that can challenge EU are LQD or EG which is tiny compared to the amount of EU teams that are gunning for the top spot.
