I will be honest NA domiated early as they nearly had a full CS team switch to valorant only zombs who did not play cs and he is a clear problem in the team but now all cis and eu teams are catching up theres no chance for NA :/
Zombs did play CS. Just not professionally. Got him on my team quite a few times and against him and then he went to Overwatch and then Apex. The problem with NA is the mentalities and it has always held NA back. A great example would be CS. Players in the scene cared more about egos and reputation rather than focusing on winning, Same with Val. NA really had no competition in Iceland but things have certainly changed.
