Perhaps the biggest area where Pacific is lacking is mental strength under pressure. In a BO5, having a player who can inspire the team is a big advantage, and Boostio and Zellsis are definitely deserving of it. Looking at the Pacific team as a whole, they do not have any players with that kind of energy, so their patience is weakened.

Honestly, if GenG maintain this form, i will say they are the team with the highest chance of winning a tournament. They clearly do not lack in the mechanical department and are clearly a much more flexible team than other top pacific teams have in the past. Like, Prx has their aggression and combo plays and Drx with their discipline and set plays, the only 2 teams that could have realistically won in the past. However, GenG clearly doesn't have that sort of identity. They don't have a mould that they want to keep. Even now, we clearly just remember them for their cracked aim rather than their play style or anything. They have shown that they can play slow which can be seen on maps like ascent and they can also play quick like they did against Sen on split in the upper finals and they literally fought against Prx aggression with aggression of their own and won it. It feels weird that a top pacific team doesn't have a distinct style that they will always follow but maybe this is the way because they can't be figured out like other pacific teams in the past.

I believe that they will be able to win something in 2025 See, the contracts are till 2025 for all players. That means, for entire 2023 and 2024, they will build and become even better than they already are. With a new roster they secured 2nd Place in Champs. More practice and time and experience for new players (Something) will make them extremely good. SEN don't need Hopium anymore. PRX needs it

the only way we can make pacific win a BO5 if BOTH teams in the grand final are pacific. Personally it sucks for me because I've been a SEN fan since the sinatraa days, and I'm from South East Asia and also rooting for paper rex, so seeing them in that lower final at madrid was weird. The fact that they have gotten top 4 in 5 international tournaments and COULD'VE won 2 trophies is heartbreaking. Paper Rex need to know that their play style does work but only works to a certain amount of time. Thankfully I think they do know since they played more slower and default rounds, but They need to stop changing their comp in a BO5 grand final. Teams just won't get caught off guard with that and they will 100% adapt to prx's comp change.

@@ltk7309 what?

Before asking why they haven’t won a tournament yet, why don’t we start with international bo5s. Imo the biggest problem is that in a bo5, they always get figured out by the 3rd/4th set. Even with a 4-8 half, geng had momentum and looked to be able to comeback on split. But somewhere along the 2nd half, johnqt finally got the download on how geng read the game, and helped drag Sen across split and they used that momentum to roll thru icebox. There r many more examples of this across the few years of vct we’ve had

It is insanely interesting, EU is known for their structure and strategy, Pacific is known for their unique comps and playstyle, Americas/NA is known for being able to combine the two into a blend that leads to several trophies. It's interesting because DRX was known as the team so structured it hurt them, yet GenG reminds me more of NA, taking the best of that structure playstyle and mixing it with individual talents and unique agression (like PRX) to a good style. I think GenG lost not because of style but because of experience. In my eyes, they're trophy hopefuls this year

I was rooting for SEN vs PRX for finals, but when I watched GenG play vs Sen, I wanted them to win. GenG looks like the kind of team who can readily bounce back, do retakes, and have counter strats for plays. I've been watching APAC teams since 2022 and this team really surprised me. Maybe it's because the roster is completely new, and the other teams have not much content to study how GenG plays, but they definitely deserve to be one of the top teams right now. The very last map against Sen just showed they were losing hope in themselves, like they were tilted or smthng tho. So yeah, I completely agree on the experience part. Hopefully they get a trophy this year. Or anyone from APAC, at least.

I think GenG lost not bcz of style nor experience but they chokes many times and their mental cannot keep up with the pressure, that's why they lose map2 when It's easy win

Honestly do think the way things are going, GenG have the highest shot at lifting a trophy for apac. As much as I want to believe in our boys in purple (prx) especially with jinggg back, I feel that teams in the higher echelons of vct are better suited to counter what they build their identity on, their W Gaming style. Teams like FNC, current-age SEN, and even GenG to a fault, are so well rounded when it comes to rotating around how they play, no matter what kind of pacing it facilitates. but we'll see in the coming tournaments. There's so much young blood in the vct now more than ever just in madrid, so honestly so many teams have a chance at lifting the trophy.

GenG are so talented and complete I cant imagine them not winning one eventually

if its gonna be any year its gonna be this year, prx coming back to their main core and GENG finding their place in pacific means that this might be their highest chance of winning at shanghai as both pacific contenders are at full strength and have made grand finals and nearly won

This video was all we needed thaks commend, ik which region's winning next masters

GenG has brought home Pacific's first and long deserved international trophy, and with the pressure finally gone for Paper Rex, and a visible improvement in discipline for Paper Rex, we might just see a back to back Pacific trophy.

Honestly I have everything in T1 stocks atm. I think they're a lock for Shanghai and they may have the highest chance of winning out of any team. They're flexible, they have a CS legend on their team who's in contention for best opper in the world atm, they have their very own vibes merchant flex player in Rossy, they have one of the best duelist's in Pacific, an incredibly promising rookie and an experienced esports player as their IGL, with a case to be made for the best Lotus in the world atm. I think the combined experience, firepower, mental strength, flexibility and strategy could definitely mean a trophy for T1

Gotta remember that Pacific is a region never known for their FPS plays. Back in CSGO, the best squad was Tyloo but even they couldn't make a playoffs of an international tournament. We can't be basing the FPS accolades against the MOBAs/RTS accolades. Those have been born and bred into the system. Apparently when you walk into any PC bang in Korea, you only see League posters everywhere. There isn't a huge CS or Valorant as big as League or SC2 in there. This is the same basically in all the big countries in Pacific (China, Indonesia, Philippines etc.) Even MLBB is bigger than CS2.

And that's because of a lack of servers. CS initially started with servers in Asia in 2015, even then the servers were only in Singapore and India at first (making your example of Korea and Japan even less acceptable cause they never had the chance, CSGOs Seoul server was added only 2 years ago). Even then CSGOs asian servers faced a number of problems and they do so even now in CS2. Valorant on the other hand did from the start and that's why you hear and see more asian teams in VCT over CS tourneys as people are slowly making that transition over to valorant

Here after Gen G just won APAC’s first trophy at Masters Shanghai 🥳🥳🎉🍾

3:15 i still remember PRX is strong in bind with this comp, but get destroyed by FPX 😭

The challenge of Asia winning a VALORANT trophy often boils down to the regional competitive ecosystem. Historically, the development and support for esports infrastructure, including coaching, strategic analysis, and player development, have been more established in regions like North America, Europe and more recently Brazil. This foundation allows teams from these regions to innovate and adapt quickly to the evolving meta of the game. While Asia has a strong culture of gaming and immense talent, the disparity in resources dedicated to the professional development and support for teams can be a significant factor in their international performance. However, the gap is narrowing and it wouldn't be surprising to see Asian teams rise to the top in the near future.

You have no idea. Modern Esports literally started in an Asian country (Korea), and it also has far more attention over there than a lot of normal sports. T1 winning Worlds last year brought attention towards eSports in general that hadn't been seen in years. About the infrastructure part, you can say that about SEA, but in Korea and China they have actual eSports federations. That doesn't exist in any EU/NA country. Asian countries just historically suck at FPS games, Valo is the first actual FPS game they've legitimately done well in

Theyre like the old memphis grizzlies who likes to grind it out in a close match. A team that would win many clutches. Thats because they had the hardest road to the championship.

they fall under pressure at the most crucial moment, GenG on round 5, prx, on the mid of tourney, while EMEA and NA thrive with it, thats the biggest factor, like they can defeat any EMEA and NA top team in a dominate way through the tourney, but once its on final, they choke
