Americas as in consisting of North America and South America. The 'America' you're probably referring to is recognized globally as the 'United States of America', and while it does have the word 'America' in its name it is not considered 'America'. Another example can be seen with the VCT China region. Its name has the word 'China' in it, but it also includes all the other Chinese territories like Hong Kong and Taiwan, that are seperate regions than that of China itself, because all those subregions together make up the 'China' region; just like how the different North and South American subregions (Brazil, USA, Canada) come together to make the 'Americas' VCT region. I know I could probably come up with a better example than the China one but I can't think right now it's too late in the night. Hope that helps!
anyth1ng [#3]south NA?
I think its not fair for you guys to keep it like this.
Tbh I dont understand how no one has complained about this.
VCT EMEA says "europeans, mediterranians and africans"
ours just say America.

this is the worse comment I have ever seen. I understand Hong Kong and Taiwan might be part of China, but Brazil and Canada are not part of America and are not subregions. We have Pacific coast, rocky mountain, southwest, great plains, great lakes, boswash, north new england, southeast, south central, southwest, florida, Alaska and Hawaii. Your comment even sounds a bit racist.

Europe
Middle East
Africa
Yours says 'Americas', not 'America'.

Exactly, it refers to: Pacific coast, rocky mountain, southwest, great plains, great lakes, boswash, north new england, southeast, south central, southwest, florida, Alaska and Hawaii.
Why not include Canada, Brazil and Chile? maybe something like VCT ACBC or AABC.

I apologize if I said something confusing, I'm not a native English speaker, unlike yourself. What I meant to convey is that the 'Americas' VCT region is a league that consists of teams from all over the North and South American continents. The United States of America just happens to be commonly referred to as 'America', so I can see where your misinterpretation/misunderstanding stems from. Here's a Wikipedia article on the Americas!

What is the point of doing this? Why do you go on the internet and make yourself look dumb so that people will respond and you can have arguements that you are know you are wrong in. Whats the point? Are you bored? Attention deprived?

Americas is clearly referring to the landmass though, I don't know how you misinterpreted the s in the Americas to be all those different states and subregions and metropolitan masses and whatnot. Also, if it really is how you're describing it, then why not include territories like American Samoa, Guam, or even Puerto Rico?

Everyone deserves knowledge of some extent, even if it's something like 'not know America is the combined landmass of North and South America'. I can see how one would assume this guy is baiting but I have met some people who are genuinely garbage at geography. Of course, they were all American, so I get where this tomaz guy is coming from.

Most npc conversation
koromast [#24]you know america was the name of the entire continent before you even arrived right?
nahhhhhhhhh no way
duchesssx [#33]then it was the name before you arrived as well cortez.
nope, cortez landed but he thought it was india because when people discovered the earth was round cortez navigated to the opposite direction of the route to india trying to find faster routes than rounding all of africa or russia, and they discovered the new continent by accident, americo vespucio was the one who attributed the most in terms of knowledge on the travel and a famous cartograph named the entire continent in his honor due to his work and the name remains till this days.

you are far too kind hell yeah brother
Hyopic [#25]dude you're falling for bait
You are absolutely right. I could've fallen for bait, and I don't deny the fact that there's a high chance, because most people with basic education should know that Americas mean both continents. But then again, my personal experiences dealing with people who suck at geography (a topic I'm actually very passionate in), tells me to help anyone in the subject regardless of whether their intentions are genuine or not. To conclude tho, I think you're probably right, but what harm does a conversation with tomaz do? 😊

I think they mean that you're trying to get attention from others using a subject/question you already know the answer to. Hope that helps!

I hope he's baiting, otherwise he might need to go back to primary school.
soonwookong [#27]5/8 it was horrible but so many ppl got baited
I just wanted to have a conversation on the internet is that too much to ask for?
Zerphyr1 [#50]I hope he's baiting, otherwise he might need to go back to primary school.
As a passionate enjoyer of geography, I do too.
