How is an ascension match leading to regional arguments lmfao. Back in kickoff between SEN and LOUD ppl werent that heated and stupid
I think it is because it is ascension that it is leading to regional arguments. The region boundaries are a lot more defined and the stakes are arguably as high or even higher than a lot of T1. The emotions run much higher because this tournament could mean the beginning or the end of a career, depending on who wins.
Side note, this would lowkey make for a fire research paper.
edit: or it's just that AMER has more hate in general due to the sheer amount of people following it. EMEA was generally more chill than this, but there were less people following it I think. Since there are more people watching AMER (especially ones with clout), that leads to more arguments as people attack everything except what actually matters. Additionally, people tend to flock around general consensuses, so seeing people hate makes people want to hate, making a positive feedback loop of never ending pressed people

"The Psychology on How Regional Differences in a Sport Tends to Lead to Increased Polarization Amongst the Fans" would make a great title, and then one would use vlr as a naturalistic observation study :D
