You should check some post-Icebox / post-Split threads about Gambit
Daniveus [#15]only one guy said that and it was a troll, probably not even from Europe.
CIS is not EU (like in European union), but if EU means Europe then yes.
for most people, at least in esports, EU = Europe, but we are all representing EMEA so better go with that.
if we are talking about georaphy then they are from EU BUT in esports Europe and CIS are 2 different regions.
in geography GMB = EU, in esports GMB = CIS
Olofboost [#18]You should check some post-Icebox / post-Split threads about Gambit
Well no way to do that rn, but i checked the main thread 100t-gambit and only one person said gmb isn't EU and it's a SEN fan w/o flag trashtalking EU so...
Aperture [#14]EMEA is Europe, Middle east and Africa and im pretty sure Russia isnt african or middle eastern
yes but only 23% russia is in Europe rest of 77% is in asia🙄🙄
Big_Floppa [#11]yhey are eu today but when they lose tomorrow they are cis
No, there will be 20 times less people to say that they are cis when they lose, than the amount of people saying they are eu when they win
Big_Floppa [#11]yhey are eu today but when they lose tomorrow they are cis
they wont lose you flopper player
lalit2005 [#23]yes but only 23% russia is in Europe rest of 77% is in asia🙄🙄
what about population tho?
lalit2005 [#23]yes but only 23% russia is in Europe rest of 77% is in asia🙄🙄
yes but 80% population in Europe 🙄🙄
They are both europe like smb,Riot seperated both Turkey and Russia from europe at first and it sucked in Lol now they are trying to unify them with tournaments they are not still calling them Europe but EMEA (even there is no middle east and african team) I am so happy to see turkish players and Turkish teams on european stage i am pretty sure russian are too
Itsover [#12]Every player on Gambit is ethnically european except for nats, so
Are you dumb theyre all russian

In every esport CIS and EU are treated as separate except for this stupid EMEA shit in valorant so EU have copium when their teams inevitably get shit on
shashanth [#29]russia major part is asia
so asia>all
emea joined russia to carry them
major part is Asia yet 80% of the population and the capital is in Europe O M E G A L U L
Azaqa [#36]Are you dumb theyre all russian
Nats is Tatar, rest are Russian, I think I know a bit more about Russia than u cuz I'm half Russian half Belarusian and I have relatives in Smolensk and Petersburg.
verybestplayerworld [#39]major part is Asia yet 80% of the population and the capital is in Europe O M E G A L U L
who cars
Revlo [#30]CIS>EU in valorant and CSGO
you are mad and will be slaughtered by 100T today
scratch that I want envy to win I love FNS too much
Azaqa [#37]In every esport CIS and EU are treated as separate except for this stupid EMEA shit in valorant so EU have copium when their teams inevitably get shit on
In every other relevant esport NA is getting dicked on except for Valorant so NA has copium when their teams accomplish something here and think they're the shit.
Garbage fucking argument.
Opt [#43]How about we just accept that Europe is a political construct not a distinct geographical continent and leave it up to the individual to decide :). People have been debating “is Russia Europe” for literal centuries, I don’t think vlr.gg users really have much to add to the discussion.
This is the answer to "is Russia Europe", or else the UK used to be asia and France used to be Africa back in the days.

You say it so factually as if everyone said that. I don't anybody who said that.
Itsover [#46]This is the answer to "is Russia Europe", or else the UK used to be asia and France used to be Africa back in the days.
What are the axis on this graph? The geographical continent is Eurasia, where the dividing line is depends on what criteria you want to use, there is no objective answer.
reality [#19]if we are talking about georaphy then they are from EU BUT in esports Europe and CIS are 2 different regions.
in geography GMB = EU, in esports GMB = CIS
nope, CIS is a region WITHIN EU
Take a loom at the EMEA playoffs, EMEA stands for Europe, Middle east and Africa, CIS goes into Europe. The only reason it has a seperate region within EU is because of where it is located and the large population.
DDot [#9]EMEA is Europe, Middle east and Africa and im pretty sure Russia isnt african or middle eastern
That is the general use of the term based on the full form but, rito breaks it up as West EU, turkey and CIS (former Soviet bloc) because of ping/ language etc issues

which side is which?
ItsOnlyAGame [#53]That is the general use of the term based on the full form but, rito breaks it up as West EU, turkey and CIS (former Soviet bloc) because of ping/ language etc issues
It should be ECT tbh
Itsover [#54]This is genetic distance between nations of Europe.
Pretty sure Australians are extremely similar to Europeans genetically, doesn’t make Australia part of Europe. Genetics is one criteria of many.
Opt [#62]Pretty sure Australians are extremely similar to Europeans genetically, doesn’t make Australia part of Europe. Genetics is one criteria of many.
There is no such thing as "Australian", unless you mean Australian aboriginal people. White Australians are mainly of British descent. White Canadians and Americans are European as well no matter how much you try to deny it, you speak a European language and have European genetics.

oh you pulled out "stop generalizing" card
Lets make it simple
TLDR;
EU = NOPE
EMEA = YES
Europe = YES
idk why everyone is calling us "EU", when EU is the political constitution, we should be called Europe or EMEA.
We do not call you "US" as well, but rather the "NA" because that what it is from geographical point of view, not political.
DumboVAL [#65]Lets make it simple
- Russia is part of Europe , meaning the continent. (GMB is part of Europe)
- Russia is part of EMEA. (Europe is in EMEA, GMB are part of Europe)
- Russia is not part of European union(EU). (GMB is not part of EU)
TLDR;
EU = NOPE
EMEA = YES
Europe = YESidk why everyone is calling us "EU", when EU is the political constitution, we should be called Europe or EMEA.

in esports EU = Europe not European Union. cuz people from Britain also play.
MilanTheMyth [#66]in esports EU = Europe not European Union. cuz people from Britain also play.
i dont care what is in esports, but they are wrong and it tilts me. EU is official abreviation for European Union.
DumboVAL [#67]i dont care what is in esports, but they are wrong and it tilts me. EU is official abreviation for European Union.
true.
DumboVAL [#67]i dont care what is in esports, but they are wrong and it tilts me. EU is official abreviation for European Union.
EU is also short for EUrope
dootie [#70]EU is also short for EUrope
it is wrong short what NA people made and are using incorrectly, because they don't understand what are they actually talking about
DumboVAL [#72]it is wrong short what NA people made and are using incorrectly, because they don't understand what are they actually talking about
well its like esports term, saying NA vs Eu is shorter then saying Europe but alr
PrTsty [#73]EMEA = Europe, middle east, africa. So is CIS = africa?
CIS is Commonwealth of Independent States
ShadowisBAD [#75]CIS is Commonwealth of Independent States
EMEA = Europe/Middle East/Africa
So as per my knowledge,
Russia is not in either Middle East or Africa.
So ummmm........................
Do the maths ?
tRONGOD [#76]EMEA = Europe/Middle East/Africa
So as per my knowledge,
Russia is not in either Middle East or Africa.
So ummmm........................

i honestly have no idea here

guys its riot that decided to include CIS in the EMEA rapresentatives https://imgur.com/de3cOrE
dootie [#74]well its like esports term, saying NA vs Eu is shorter then saying Europe but alr
it is, but they asked about the facts
ait8k [#78]guys its riot that decided to include CIS in the EMEA rapresentatives https://imgur.com/de3cOrE
Well they are apart of europe
ait8k [#78]guys its riot that decided to include CIS in the EMEA rapresentatives https://imgur.com/de3cOrE
It's not riot, By official standards, Russia is Included in EMEA.
I mean it's kinda complicated but it is what it is as long as they qualify through a same region, they are representing a same region.

CIS is like EU both are economical regions and both are in Europe

Who cares, why NA gets to claim continent not just US for example? So we will claim whole Europe to not just EU.
Canadians players > Americans players
FightWasTaken [#82]EMEA - Europe, Middle East and Africa. Europe would include CIS here.
yep. Russia - Gambit is in the Europe part. Middle east part is mainly TR teams and from Africa there isnt any team.
EMEA is used most often in situations involving international trade and business. It is less of a political term and more of a geographical term. For example, a nation outside of the EMEA, like the United States, might talk about Russia as part of the EMEA. Bolivia might say the EMEA when they mean Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India. The point here is that the EMEA is not a complete set-in-stone term. While it most commonly refers to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, it is not uncommon for other nations to tweak the countries they include under the umbrella term.
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/emea-countries
j read this. Its vague, Riot decides which teams r in emea
DumboVAL [#86]yep. Russia - Gambit is in the Europe part. Middle east part is mainly TR teams and from Africa there isnt any team.
Actually TR teams are in İstanbul's europe side and nobody in Turkey likes that middle east word. Calling middle east to TR came up by bush at 2000's, it's not official or anything just political. Some people consider TR as middle east some doesn't. There isn't any middle east map or union, there is arabic union kinda staff if I'm not wrong and 13 country from middle east is part of that, as you can guess Turkey isn't.
justadude [#84]nope, CIS isn't a region WITHIN EU, it's a region within Europe
CIS is like EU both are economical regions and both are in Europe
ah ye mb, I actually meant Europe by EU
DumboVAL [#65]Lets make it simple
- Russia is part of Europe , meaning the continent. (GMB is part of Europe)
- Russia is part of EMEA. (Europe is in EMEA, GMB are part of Europe)

We do not call you "US" as well, but rather the "NA" because that what it is from geographical point of view, not political.
Finally a decent comment. I think in Esports people understand EU as Europe as a continent, even if it's wrong
Itsover [#63]There is no such thing as "Australian", unless you mean Australian aboriginal people. White Australians are mainly of British descent. White Canadians and Americans are European as well no matter how much you try to deny it, you speak a European language and have European genetics.
That's exactly what I'm saying dude, european genetics in a region doesn't make that region europe. I have european genetics and don't live in europe, easy to argue same thing about Russians. The boundary of Europe is blurry and genetics is not a particularly solid argument for where to draw the line, esp considering the many ethnic groups in Russia. It's a complex geopolitical and historical question that relies on one's individual cultural perceptions and education. No need for the aggressive tone.

These "many ethnic groups" have their own names(like tatar, bashkir, nenets, udmurt etc) , the genetic study I posted refers only to "russkije" aka ethnic Russians, Russian language has 2 words for "Russian": russkij and rossijanin, the latter meaning all ethnic groups in Russia and the former meaning only ethnic Russians.
justadude [#85]Who cares, why NA gets to claim continent not just US for example? So we will claim whole Europe to not just EU.
Canadians players > Americans players
Are you stupid? Thats like saying why do EU get to claim the continent and not just sweden...
f4lcon [#45]In every other relevant esport NA is getting dicked on except for Valorant so NA has copium when their teams accomplish something here and think they're the shit.
Garbage fucking argument.
Yes NA is actually good in this esport unlike almost every other esport which is why EU need copium. You proved my point.
nohorror27 [#83]Russia is in Europe tho?
Russia is bigger than entirety of europe areawise and extends into asia aswell as europe boundary wise. However majority of the area is part of asia
TheHardStuckImmortal [#104]Russia is bigger than entirety of europe areawise and extends into asia aswell as europe boundary wise. However majority of the area is part of asia
however the 80% of russian population lives in the European Russia
TheHardStuckImmortal [#104]Russia is bigger than entirety of europe areawise and extends into asia aswell as europe boundary wise. However majority of the area is part of asia
The thing is that all gambit players and generally all cis players are from Europe. So idk wtf you guys are talking about
ShadowisBAD [#2]CIS
theyre EMEA
And the EMEA, they are from the Europe side. Middle East is Turkey and close clountries and Africa we know what is
justadude [#85]Who cares, why NA gets to claim continent not just US for example? So we will claim whole Europe to not just EU.
Canadians players > Americans players
This is so stupid. NA in esports has 2 countries while EU has 40+ countries competing for the region so don't be stupid
ShadowisBAD [#77]i honestly have no idea here
They EU, we dont talk about the europaen union, we talk about the continent europa. If gambit isnt EU so liquid isnt EU aswell, great britain isnt in europaen union.
Azaqa [#100]Are you stupid? Thats like saying why do EU get to claim the continent and not just sweden...
My point is EU should be able to claim whole continent and not just a region or a country, but I guess you are lost.
This might help:

Europe > NA stay mad
Also NA and EU are overlapping you can be in both at the same time so one more reason to do continent vs continent :))
justadude [#111]Europe > NA stay mad

Everyone knows esports wise what NA means what EU means and CIS means
