This article is savage
Pretty bad argument for EU. You conveniently left out G2's performance of MSI 2016 (G2-8 anyone?). And speaking of international events, Kien, you intentionally and willfully ignore the fact that at Worlds 2016, the most recent Worlds, that although EU made it to Semis, H2K did so without having to play against ANY NA team in their group. Both TSM and CLG 2-0'd their EU opponents in their respective groups. G2, EU's #1 team at the time, went 1-5 in Groups, 2 losses to CLG/NA. G2 in 2017 summer split are in a slump, the middle of their group, whereas all 3 NA teams are in an upward trend in their region, including P1 rising from the ashes with Mike Yeung! I will admit that going 3 weeks without a single match win is concerning for P1, and that both C9's top laners don't look very hot. I do believe Fnatic is the strongest team going to Rift Rivals NA vs EU.
Yeah, I personally stopped taking the article seriously when I checked the EU side and didn't see anything related to the meta going on right now, and the effect it's having on the teams. While the NA teams may have looked stronger last split, the massive shift towards tank supports and non-utility adc's makes it heavily in favor of the EU-sides (as guys like rekkles/zven didn't really have to adjust too much due to being the primary carries/"anchors" of their teams). I also agree that Fnatic is heavily favored to win this event, but entirely expect P1 to potentially cause a few upsets and make the "playoff round" assuming there is one (haven't checked, as I've been quite busy with other stuff), with MikeYeung being a giant wild card and the team lacking the predictability factor the other two NA teams will bring (ie: if you camp P1's mid you won't instantly eliminate 60% of their win condi).
Overall a pretty meh article, for something that's supposed to draw/build hype around the event I would've loved to see a lot more stats and a lot less fingerpointing.
Do you two legit just not see sarcasm in this post... This is a joke lol.
Someone missed the sarcasm in the article. The sole purpose of this is just to show show humorous trash-talking from both perspectives. This one is purely for fun. If you want stats, that's for another article.
"I'm an NA fan but I like Fnatic" lol could not sum this up better. Fnatic seems to be the EU team that NA fans will get the least salty about if we lose.
When I saw that I was like "This is literally me in a nutshell" I am from NA but I only actively follow two teams. Fnatic is the reason why I'll always choose EU > NA even though that makes no sense at all.
Younglings.
Fantastic though.
look, the only thing us NA fans got going for us are memes, we have the best memes, why is that not mentioned on the article, riot you're garbage at writing these "savage" articles, hire me rn.
This is awesome! xD
Dat 1W-5L "Kings of EU" team, doe...
Is it just me, or is the article blank?
The article isn't blank if you just click on NA or EU.

For me, the article has nothing to click on except the languages. I'm using Microsoft Edge.
Same :)

Well, there's your problem.

What browser are you on? Riot has supported Microsoft Edge in the past, like with Fantasy LCS.
Chrome, works fine. Microsoft is bad. It will always be bad. Edge/Explorer should both never be used. Chrome > Fire Fox > Safari > Edge > Explorer

You might want to re-read that paragraph ;P (Field of Memes), although the title should be italicized, even in its parody form.
Kien, bro. You're gonna start the next World War with this article.
