I feel like all the EU teams have shit map pools compared to Americas and APAC teams. Pearl perma banned from most teams and a very mediocre Split hurting EU teams
I feel like it has more to do with the fact that they have too many teams and a massive raw talent drought
no way to even attempt to get the the strategic level of Americas because they can't see what works and doesn't if they can't win a single duel
EMEA teams unfortunately doomed to sit in corners and pray they can shoot people in the back until they can get the capital to start importing NA talent
lil guy's doing a little bit of coping here
unfortunately, I think FUT showed what they had. They looked as good if not better than they did in EMEA, unfortunately it just wasn't enough to close the skill gap
Giants and KOI are actually washed and hopeless, maybe a full rebuild next year for both teams will breathe some new life into the scene.
Turkish Tier 2 is promising, but thats one country in all of EMEA, and it's still cleared by NA VCT
not looking good
i think Americas is just good at min/maxing comps. They have gameplans and their comps are always built around that specific gameplan. EU sometimes let personal biases and agent pools get in the way of the optimal comp for their gameplan. EG literally put demon1 on brimstone cuz they needed to play that specific comp for the best execution of their playstyle. Its more of a difference in how coaches are approaching the game regionally.
