how eu plays vs korea: roams, plays as a team, ganks other lanes how eu plays vs na EVERY FUCKING TIME: afk farms every lane and wait till they get ganked by mid top jungle and outplayed all over the map.
i DO NOT understand it. why. "we wanna show the world that eu>na" and you think that will work by trying to break the farm record in every lane or what?
Hey man, NA is just better, nothing to be ashamed of. [slayer-jinx-wink]
I am not sure where you are getting that EU does well vs Korea?
Going over the last two MSI and the last two worlds they are 2-20 in the head to head of EU vs KR. Not that any region has a great record vs Korea but even in the 2015 semi-finals vs Korea when EU was held so highly as the Korean contenders OG and FNC went 0-6.
Like I said though this pretty much holds true for any region facing Korea and I think the FW are the only non-korean team who have a decent record against Korean teams.
I have always thought that Korea was the top region and everyone else was at about the same level and I can't tell if people are joking when they try to find some crazy reason that one of the regions is the 2nd best or if they seriously think it matters.
It's pretty much the CLG way - they themselves tend to play really good against the top tier teams around the world, but when it comes to the less talented tier teams they tend to just flop. The same can be said about EU(right now possibly?). Maybe the EU teams thought they were already better so they didn't take the games as serious as one should have? I will say tho, NA tends to look good at the starts of tournaments but EU finishes strong more times than not.
Yeah I didn't get the GPL on their first day for Purple Rift either. Or the second day. And now they're in the finals. What happened this morning? (I know what happened)
Well, it's more that EU often dominates LPL and LMS and WC while NA is shaky against all of them. FNC and H2K had a 5-1 overall record against EDG at the last two Worlds. FW was two of G2's 4 wins at MSI Groups, before G2 took out WE in KO stage. NA, meanwhile, is really shaky against all of them, usually getting 0-2'd or 1-1'd in double round robins. I don't think NA has had a 2-0 against a WC team since 2015 MSI, and those repeated upsets hold them back from getting to KO stages often.
Basically, EU often looks bad or neutral against NA head-to-head, despite being better against common international opponents. Why is this? I have no idea. But it does put EU in an awkward spot in an event like this.
