These teams have insanely talented rosters so what do we think the problem is? is NA just really fucking good rn or is everyone else just playing really bad
nah, there’s only like 3 or 4 good emea teams THAT are all franchised, while NA has teams in ascension who could easily dominate the bottom half of the franchised emea teams. there’s more competitive drive to be the best in NA while emea and apac have or will have one or two teams always at the top 😴
I'd argue about talented bit. It looks to me NA teams who have historically been worse, had gone out and found new and upcoming 19 year old players to give them a chance. EMEA teams meanwhile who were and are ranked towards the bottom, just went ahead and recycled the same bums who didn't have much success before and are currently refusing to give opportunities to new talent, as if buddies made sure that buddies got into franchising.
Dokka [#3]I mean we still haven’t seen emeas four best teams whilst we’ve seen a few of NA top 5
Hard to make a comparison when looking at the bottom half of a EMEA league

NA plays a different game than EMEA. Look at how many times Heretics or Koi were running out of time with a 5 on 5 still. That doesn't happen in NA. EMEA has an advantage based on playstyle, nobody plays like that in the rest of the world. How do you beat a guy like FNS? Give him zero information for 95% of the round.

Great take honestly
