and why is it always in EU? I can think of 3 examples on top of my head - ScreaM and Nivera playing their whole careers together, Boo and MiniBoo and now Happy and koalanoob

click is good but hop off his willy will ya, worse stats than koalanoob in one of the easiest VCLs in EMEA while koala is putting up better performance against NA and Ascension teams
listen bro, you gotta stop for a second, idk if you think click is cute or something but the obsession is crazy
its nepotism but if you seriously genuinely actually think koalanoob is some bum and not comparable to a guy who plays in german t2 youre tripping
koala is one of the best players across every tier 2, NA just doesnt have enough slots for him to be a T1 player
