Region wars

Region wars on VLR aka "memea" and "assmericas" and "ap0c" and all this bs is genuinely one of the most hilarious things to me

Some kid with a german flag and TH flair for example will be like fuck NA theyre all shit EMEA better when Fnatic and TH (maybe vit) are the only EMEA teams left with... 0 german players... acting like his nation is being represented because theyre from his continent??? Maybe I should support Antarctica because I was born on Earth then???
Then some american kid with a SEN flair will say "memea" or NA diff when his team is comprised of: JohnQT, a moroccan, Sacy, a brazilian, Tenz & Zekken, asian immigrants and Zellsis, your worst player (not saying hes bad) the american. (Not saying Tenz & Zek aren't American & canadian because they are, but do not deny their heritage.)

TLDR: It's a shockingly stupid thing to take part in because in tier 1, teams are comprised of members from everywhere on Earth. They're international puzzles in which the pieces represent the very regions you're shitting on. It's quicker to create a thought than to speak, pls remember :D

EDIT: Basically all of you missed the point and completely misunderstood this post (its vlr idk why i expected differently)
Feel free to support whoever tf you want I couldn't care less
Feel free to hate on whatever region you want I couldn't care less either
I'm just pointing out the irony of region wars
And no I'm not racist and no I'm not anti immigration (if you got those ideas from this post im so sorry but youre actually mentally deficient)
Everyone thinking I called them out in the comments for being competitive are also mentally deficient

allat

This is NOT going to stop region wars + memea keke

tenz is Canadian no

assmericas and bumea are both washed, and chokepac isn't winning anything anymore
ch0na might be valulrant's last hope

Americas is the best region.
In the last 365 days they have won Champs and a Masters tournament. Not a single mickey mouse.

its mostly americans being insuferable

Imagine being born in Nebraska and supporting USA team even if none of the team have a Nebraskan player.

The sentiment of belonging can be supranational, and can easily be made by how the world is structured, how Riot cut the world in 4 just manage to create a sentiment of identity, and thats a good thing

I didn't say you can't support them because ofc you can

I'm saying don't shit on other regions and say "your" team is better when it is not "your" team at all

That doesn't really work for America (US) cuz our whole thing is...migrants. Tenz and Zekken Asian migrants? Those are called Americans brother

If i can say mine for Europe I can say mine for earth then?

The day Earth will fight against non-earth team, you will be able to say "mine" for earth, as far as they are an "us" and a "they" you can say "mine". They are no "they" if you say "mine" talking about earth, and thats why you cant say "mine" about earth.

We need to start seeing americas as one region, i will even say that full latam teams need to speak english regardless, otherwise a lot of talents will vanish in tier 3

This will definitely tell them! 😭🙏💯

yes but its part of sports culture

No, if you want Amer strong you need to keep your diversity, at least 2 full LATAM team, and 2 BR team is best for AMER

lmao your the one being slow america is built off immigrants, the only people who are actually indigenous to the U.S are the native americans

Thats racist

if tenz and zekken arent north american so wouldnt be zellsis, as he has italian ancestry

nobody is american besides xeppa who has native american ancestry

average braindead vlr thread

every non native american in America is an immigrant by that logic

No?
Their parents were the ones that immigrated so they're not allowed to have heritage anymore?
What is this logic hahahaha

why zellsis italian heritage doesnt matter, only asians?

Average_NA_fan [#35]

Ok zellsis is italian
Now what?
Whats your point big guy?
Are you this desperate to paint me as a racist you're creating arguments out of thin air?

JawXG [#33]

No?

the point is when does you stop being asian/italian etc and become solely american

That’s what makes it fun buddy. What am I supposed to say yay Americas so great I hope everybody wins?

Hell no fuck NA fuck Americas home the lose champs, masters, playoffs, hell I hope they lose the bus on the way home too

based but i hope emea gets steamrolled and fnatic goes 0-2 in playoffs

it's subjective brother, if there was a match with just players from your city vs players from another city you would support the ones in your city, same with state/region, same with country and it's just the same with continents at the end of the day, no you can't only support antartica just cause you are from earth cause they would be fighting other players from earth, it makes sence for continents cause they are fighting each other, sure the players themselfs are not always from there inheretly, but most of them were build in that enviroment which makes them relatable and gives a sence of brotherhood that makes us want to root from them, those are the players who play in our ranked regions, those are the players close to us geologically, USA is pretty much the size of europe so why is supporting USA diferent from us supporting EU brothers? with that logic you should only support players from your state cause that is what most europeans have to work with considering the size of their countries

Harapan845 [#4]

tenz is Canadian no

That’s still NA though.

People missing the point of this post is funny af

I do agree that the whole region wars is stupid; it leads people to turn their brains off and not actually watch the games. Just "teams from other region = bad reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee", making proper discussion is pretty much impossible.
The concept is just part of sports and youre never gonna get rid of it though (and it would ruin a significant amount of the people left on vlrs experience if you were to ngl)

For your problem it might help to think of this whole thing more as a "war of the servers/leagues" rather than associating it with countries.
Country of birth isnt really relevant in esports, which is innately digital, what matters is if you play with the people/watch all their matches.

I have no problem saying a polish player like Iluri is a dach representative, since hes played in our regions for as long as it existed, but I wouldnt consider Tex a Dach representative at all.

And ofc you dont gotta take part in it (blocking some of the bigger baiters is gonna help). Even when commenting on teams from other regions if youre a decent user, dont flame/bait etc, then people generally dont care about your flag and are perfectly fine with engaging with your opinions.

its not my fault NA is so shit at video games

Because they are futile and nitpicking because they feel attacked for some reason
For example the baiter above me "azureblade" 💀

EVEN THOUGH
I cannot stress this enough, I am pointing out objective irony therefore comments do not necessarily need a reply.

I am pointing out objective fact, not presenting subjective opinion so why people feel the need to give theirs is beyond me

what category does this fall under out of curiosity?

The biggest reason to want the strongest region is because most people only watch one region plus international events. And if the one region you watch is ass, the games feel less important.
