They have never dominated the scene for a long period in any FPS game, as Europe and Brazil have done several times (especially in R6). Why are they treated as a minimally strong region, when there is no basis or sufficient facts to support this idea? In my opinion, they deserve the same treatment as a minor region, but with a little more exclusivity for organizing some championships... They don't have any notable player who can lead the team to win titles. At most, there's Stewe2k, but he doesn't even come close to Coldzera or Olofmeister, for example... Okay, they have TenZ, but still, it's very little, and the guy hasn't won anything relevant for Sentinels. If it's about individual skill, there are several exceptional and good players, as much as TenZ, so there's no reason for hype.
Don't get me wrong, but if you're a bit logical and think rationally, you'll realize that the NA in FPS is almost like a sham...
