True, but I'm so tired of this because of LoL. Luckily the situation isn't the same in Valorant as it is LoL, but I just hate the tradition of NA teams importing good EU players just to ruin them and send back home year later. Also importing is overall bad at this point IMO. You have local talent so why not keep them and try to develop those players. They try to win, but its just not good sign. I would have been mad if EU team had imported like Cryo or something. Its just bad because it weakens the other by taking some of their best out while also possibly worsening the future of own region. Like NA has already imported Xeta(going back to Korea I guess), Sayaplayer, ec1s(not good) and now Ardiis. It makes it so much less interesting and becomes frustrating.
"better region" lol OpTic was only team who was doing anything for NA for most of last year and even they already got split into pieces. And even the core lost arguably their 2 best players (yay and Marved/not so much lately). We will see how these teams do, but many seem to forget they haven't done much in the past.
Weirdly enough, NA esports pros are usually fit and hit the gym, or at the least are just skinny, while there are many overweight or a little chubby EU esports pros. Odd, considering that gamers are stereotypically seen as fat dudes in their moms basement, and NA’s obesity rate being so much higher than EU. You’d think we’d have more overweight players.
