EMEA Doesn't have any star duelists

(Title was to draw attention/make people angry lol) I noticed a interesting thing when it comes to the main source of firepower from all of the regions, AMERICAS has a lot of star duelists, (aspas, zekken, jawgemo, keznit, etc) EMEA has a lot of star sentinel/initiator players (nats, suygetsu, alfajer, leo, w00t, etc) and pacific has a lot of star players that swap between roles (f0rsaken, monyet, something, sayaplayer, meteor, etc) any thoughts to the correlation of this? NOT saying the region has none of the other, just that they are made up of a lot of what I listed above.

Purposely trying to rage bait is incredible

interesting

they used to have so many

here's a big list (im prob missing a lot)

Derke, Sayf, cNed, ardiis, ScreaM, Keloqz, Miniboo, wo0t, Twisten, QutionerX, qw1, marteen, d3ffo, fit1nho, Keiko, 7ssk7, Nukkye, purp0,

what r u saying

I would say it's a playstyle thing. So like

Americas --> Faster playstyle, which favours the duelists' individual performance
EMEA --> Slower playstyle, which favours teamplay rather than the duelists' individual performance

But that seems like too much a generalisation and I'm not sure how APAC fits into that

I think it comes down to historically successful EMEA teams having a preference for Controller IGLs: Redgar, Ange1, Boaster, and Boo. This results in a surplus of high impact Initiators (Leo, Shao, Cloud, Chronicle, Riens) and Sentinels (Nats, Suygetsu, Alfajer, Benjyfishy).

Americas is the opposite with IGLs preferring Initiator and Sentinel roles: Shahzam, FNS, Saadhak, Boostio, and JohnQT. Thus the high impact Duelists (Aspas, Zekken, Jawgemo, Keznit) and Controllers (Marved, Pancada, s0m, Demon1, Tenz).

G2 is an EMEA system in Americas. Valyn is the Controller IGL while Leaf is the star Sentinel. Trent and JonahP form a consistent initiator duo and all of that covers for a less than stellar Duelist.
