I play on both. I don't play a lot on BR though because I only go there when LAS is lagging. I climbed from Plat 1 to D2 in like 4-5 days in Brazil though (last season when I transfered my smurf), so I don't think its "better" at all. Could get Challenger there as well. I think BRs take it more seriously though, or at least try to win more as a team and less... individually? In LAS it looks like everyone wants to solocarry.
The only difference is the "seriousness" of the Challenger players, LAS Challengers are really... well kind of jerks and not serious at all.
I keep hearing "oh you are Challenger on LAS that's like Platinum on EUW/NA/etc" and I honestly disagree. I watch a lot of streams so I know how the avarage Challenger NA/EUW/etc player plays. I could be there too, whenever I watch these streams I see SOOOO many mistakes from them... so yeah...
The only difference is the seriousness of the players - which translates into mentality and competitive success, which we lack.
By seriousness I mean things like... people will act like 12 y/o in LAS challenger. Lots of may-may's, blaming, trolling, etc.
So yeah while I agree there aren't many good players in LAS Challenger, I also think there aren't in ANY region, it's just that those regions with LCS players have some better players than the rest - they have people playing there who get paid to play.
Aside from the LCS players, I think it's 100% the same in terms of skill - they might just have more skilled players, but not better players - except for the LCS ones, which are obviously better than the rest since it's their whole life dedicated to it.
So yeah, that said, whenever I see any stream from NA or EUW I see loooots of mistakes. I'd love to play there and try though.
So tl;dr: We are a small region which means we have less good players, but not worse players. The only straight out better players from other regions compared to LAS are the LCS players.
edit: I have some clips from the times I played in a Challenger team in LAS (we were rank 1 but not the best team since the best ones were not playing ranked 5's haha). I'll probably upload some and also some from BR.
