Plat chat

Do you think these guys are speaking on analysis or bias because they call Emea a 2 team region and praise NA all the time

delusional people like most NA fans

Speaking out of their ass. I do better objectivity.

all 4 live in NA so take a guess

Never watched them honestly

I like egg though is he still with them

most of the time they're joking

emea is a 2 team region, fnatic and fpx are top 5 world but other than them nobody can compete on an international level imo

and they dont praise na all the time, thats mostly jokes. josh is known to be an emea simp, and balla has (respectfully) been dickriding emea through the whole group stage

I've said this before, but in my opinion PlatChat has always been more critical about EMEA compared to other regions. And they focus way more on negative stuff than positive when it comes to EMEA. Pretty much whole year so far:
-team in EMEA wins: "They only won because the other team was bad and trolling"
-team in NA wins: "They won because they are good and were better than the other good team"
its like EMEA is the big brother who gets shit on for everything while NA is the little sister who gets praised for everything because they finally learnt how to cycle.

and yeah I understand that EMEA has been bit of a mess so far and Fnatic and FPX are clearly above others, but some of their statements don't always make sense to me. Like they are a lot of times downplaying some of these teams and their performances. FPX (more) and Guild (less) are good examples. Saying something like "FPX would get beated by most top NA teams" is pretty bald statement for team that has now been 2 stages EMEA's top 1/2 team. They are also really high on NA right now, because NA is finally competitive within the region and there's many "new" team coming out and challenging the top dogs of NA. And even though I agree that NA is looking nice I still think they are overrating it as a whole little bit. Regionals games with 1 week prep time between games is one thing and actually competition in international LAN tournament event is completely other thing. EMEA has always been bit troll when it comes to regionals for example, but still manage to do well internationally. Actually Masters 3(M2 this year) is good example of this, but Gambit ended up winning anyway. But we will see. No hate towards them or any NA or EMEA fan.

that podcast went downhill after bren and sideshow started casting

i love plat chat and i’m excited for their podcast every week, but it really is true that they shit on EMEA without shitting in NA. i’ve especially noticed it in the past couple of weeks comparing valoranting’s podcast with their’s. vansilli and the NA guest are always saying positive things about NA and throwing in a couple things to watch out for, while mitch and the EU guest do the exact same for EMEA. it’s crazy hearing the difference in the way they talk about EMEA.

don’t get me wrong, a lot of the times they are right about EMEA teams and shit on them when shit is due but the main problem is whenever they see a team playing bad they choose to only focus on that team and not the other.

the reason they shit on these teams is for comedy and clout, which i get because that’s what their fan base enjoys. i think they just need to shit on NA more and stop only focusing on the bad parts of EMEA (mainly sideshow and bren, which is surprising considering they’re from EU) and focus on both bad and good in balance with both regions
