(To JackeyLove) How can NA become a better region?
JackeyLove: It’s easy. Pick more imports.
(To JackeyLove) You said pick more imports. Why do you think the NA imports from Asia always choke in NA?
JackeyLove: There are two problems, first is that they're not acclimated or second, the players are faulty. I can't think of any other reason.

In other words, he has no idea. Not sure why we'd expect him in particular to have any special insight here.
The thing with imports is that A) they take time to reach a normalcy, especially if they are not somewhat speaking English already B) their soloque experience deteriorates extremely. I mean it's no secret that KR challenger and NA challenger are different worlds. Especially when you go from 30 ping to 80 ping. That's another thing LCS needs to address if they want any success internationally. Having servers and competition in different cities is just moronic imo and screams "WE ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY" but that's just me. C) Too many imports makes NA academy league and challenger league less lackluster, because players there know(especially midlaners) it is much harder for them to break into LCS high level teams, so maybe they pursue a streamer/content creator career rather than a pro player career.
Stop being NA.
Isn't NA almost at maximum import slots?
imports get shit-tier practice when they come to NA
+ communication is inherently worse
