Why Is Europe so bad even after a headstart?

So, EDG just pulled off an insane win. Everyone was doubting China. On the other hand heretics have choked a second time in a row. Other EMEA teams look like T2 teams. NA is much ahead of EMEA. Looks like the previous wins from EMEA were a fluke.

NA is still better I would say. Leviatan beat heretics 2-0 in upper semi-finals. Them losing in lower finals was just a bad day. Also, Sentinels sent fanatic home (So called best EMEA team)

idk 4/6 players + coach on LEV aren't from NA
The FNC game was close, and there was no clear favourite beforehand. So you can't really say they are better (as a team, not talking about champs performance only)

Overall I think at the highest level NA and EMEA are similar, but NA's middle of the pack teams are probably better than EMEA's

LEV isn't NA
Fnatic clearly isn't the best EMEA team this year

Memea's last tournament titles are an invitational Mickey Mouse and the biggest fluke of all time.

Anyone who uses the "Mickey Mouse" argument loses all credibility. It doesn't matter what the format of the tournament is. And you could literally argue LOCK//IN was harder since its single elim.

And "fluke" is just so opinionated and biased its just dumb.

Lock In was an invitational tournament. Not even a masters.

Ok? What's your point, all the teams were invited. And you had to have a perfect run to win. No second chances like Masters and Champions. And Fnatic still went on to dominantly win Masters after that. Saying its a fluke is literally what every hater says for every event XD
