Which western region has better midlaners?

Alex is playing in NA, but I don't believe he has been for long enough to be considered NA for the roster. What I mean by that is that Bjergsen has been playing long enough in NA that he is now considered NA starter, which is why TSM can have Lustboy and Santorin when you're required to have 3 NA native players and only allowed the maximum of 2 foreign players. Lustboy being from Korea, Santorin being from Denmark.

Alex plays as a sub for TDK and since their mid retired I guess technically is starting roster, he also plays for Misfits according to his page on Leaguepedia, but I'm not 100% on how accurate that page is. (Link Here)

I also fully concur with your assessment of the NA list. I wouldn't consider Link or Pobelter to be anywhere near an all time great, and frankly while Shiphtur has displayed strong play, being on Dignitas he's likely to never get the chance to shine as well as Bjergsen or Hai.

As far as mancloud goes, I'm not sure that I'd throw him on there any longer due to his recent lackluster performance on Coast, not entirely his fault, as that whole team was so far in the gutter there was basically no coming back. I found myself rooting for them in several of their games just because they needed a win so desperately.

I think my revised list would be as follows:

1. Bjergsen
2. Hai
3. Reginald
4. Scarra
5. XiaoweiXiao (He also counts as a North American player for roster purposes.)

It's actually very depressing to look at this list and see that 2 are retired. 1 is sitting around drifting between coaching and other things. and the other 2 are foreign recruited talent.

So is Alex Ich, but I think he's saying where they are from and not who they play for.

I don't even think Feb can be added to an All-Time list. Next, Bjergsen was never a top 3 mid when he was in EU, he didn't come into his own until he joined TSM.

Also, the Original Posters NA list is a bit lacking of "All-Time" talent. Mancloud used to be a contender. Reginald (god I hate to admit this). Voyboy did decently and probably better than a couple on the list.

100% agree with all of this. I can't really think of who I'd put Eu's 4th and 5th though. I wasn't watching back in s2 early s3, so who would you say instead of Bjergsen for 4th? I always hear about Ocelote, but I really don't know how great he was in his prime. Nukeduck maybe?
