region fans vs team fans

#1

Astar

i hate this region fans who always jump the bandwagon train to other team as long as its from their own region

example: the same NA fans supporting NRG/Optic when they were consistently good now has become the EG fans (the same fans who underestimated them when EG at the bottom of the league)

this is what we call glory hunter plastics

The only true fans are Navi, Drx, Loud and Prx fans, rest are mostly bandwagoners

example: the EU fans who equip FNC flairs when their fav teams bomb out
example: we all know nobody had a blg flair before this

ofc but the example in question was more na-based so i decided to provide examples across multiple regions 😁

Yes but literally nobody knew them before/seen any of their gameplay so how would you expect people having their flair if they don't even know them?

For example #1, if ppl are blaming NA fans for not supporting EG during regionals, the same can be said for Chinese fans who saw BLG play regionally

For example #2, everybody has seen FNC play numerous time so they r just bandwagons

I feel like it's 50/50 when it comes to EG. Some people are supporting them because they're the only NA team left. While the other half hates them because they're toxic.

i feel like its more than reasonable to root for ur region in an international event than one team? in league play you root for your favorite team, and then internationally you want your region to win

supporting your region does make sense. but supporting a team from your region just because they're winning is a different thing

i think i get what u mean. ppl who claim EG when they're doing better but claim NRG when they're doing better

what's wrong with supporting your own region?

supporting your own region is not the problem. the problem is when your supporting only cus they're winning. and shitting on your own team when they fell off

I see nothing wrong with this tbf. First of all you can have more than one fav team, second of all, regional rivalries are a thing, so it makes sense to root for a team from your region, even if it's not your fav team... especially in Valorant where you don't really have rivalries between teams from the same regions (mostly it's all love), so I really don't get why you feel this way...

But whats the deal on rooting for the team of your own country? If NRG got eliminated there is no big deal rooting for EG wich also represents USA/Canada

#36

the problem is when the people only supporting them when they start winning. when they lost they start disregarding them

i mean, in NRG fans case, there is only EG representing NA on champs now, i guess they would like to see a NA team winning it all and in that case only EG can do that, it's not like they have any other options to root for lmao, just like chinese fans will root for Bilibili if EDG got eliminated
