Genuine doubt
Why do na fans support ANY TEAM from ANY REGION when they are playing against a brazilian team?
I've noticed this since 2023, whether it's KRU/LEV in the Americas or teams from the 3 other regions in the Champions
i personally love brazilian teams, i think the divide happened in 2022 though
people either learned to love the loud optic rivalry and liked watching both teams like me or they grew to resent the brazil region as a whole
that being said, for this game it is because lev has NA players, but i understand what you are saying
frosty34 [#2]maybe lev support is cause there are 3 NA players on the team idk tho that would be crazy
I think that too, and I understand, in any case this doesn't work for KRU and teams from other regions

As much as I'm not sure, I believe the reason is LOUD 2022/2023, NA fans couldn't stand seeing all their teams getting beaten
Ballsamolee [#7]aint nobody catching me supporting an eu team over a brazil team
LOUD vs TL 2023
LOUD vs NAVI 2023
fiv5Mmmmm [#10]LOUD vs TL 2023
LOUD vs NAVI 2023
Nah fuck eu. real NA fans will support BR over those bums.
AnakinPodracer [#8]Honestly the only time I disliked BR was at Lock in, Fan's only cared about their team, I understand the hype for the home team and that's fine, but anytime a non BR team plays it was ZzzZZzzz in the crowd.
isn't it the same every VCT season for NA though? like look at the SEN vs LOUD game, can you tell me to who the whole audience was cheering to?

I agree a bit, But its always SEN fans the most whoever they are playing, just the biggest fanbase especially around Riot HQ I guess.
There were quite a few LOUD fans there too though.

You have to understand one thing, in Brazil there are few people who have a comfortable financial situation, the ticket to watch ANY game costs on average 150 to 300 Reais, even if converting is cheaper, I'm talking about purchasing power, imagine you in the USA paying 300 dollars to watch a game? Too expensive, right? Now imagine paying 300 reais to watch VIT x Global and FUT x RRQ? Obviously, days with only foreign teams would have low attendance.
espeon [#11]personally love brazilian teams, just really miss that loud vs optic rivalry and have been wanting smth like it for 3 years now
I miss a competitive brazilian team, that's all
Ballsamolee [#12]yeah why tf would i support navi or tl
Look for videos of these games, see the difference in the noise from the crowd when Navi won a round and when Loud won a round

Yeah that makes sense, would've been cool of Riot to lower the price for more attendance with that being the case with the cost.

LOUD is looking nice. I think they have a shot to make to Bangkok

We don't claim LA as part of NA.
ConsistentCycles [#22]i think lock in did generational damage to how na fans view brazil
I understand the frustrations but I explained above why games were empty when there were no brazilian teams

yeah and the crowd was louder for prx than eg. what does that mean then?
