Anyone else done watching any sort of LCS or E-sports?

As of now I'm done watching the professional E-Sports League of Legends mainly from the NA/EU LCS is concerned but really as a whole. I have watched and wasted about 4 years of my life watching E-Sports League of Legends and really when it's the same results over and over again there is only so much that I can take seeing and watching the same winners in each Worlds and in every international tournament.

2016 was really NA's time to really do something as a region, the teams looked stronger than ever in previous years. CLOUD 9 TEAM SOLOMID IMMORTALS COUNTER LOGIC GAMING were really our 4 musketeers.
IMMORTALS- Couldn't win in NA and if they couldn't win NA how would they win at an international stage ? CLG- Seems to always lose to the IWC teams over and over again. TSM/C9. Both have really been the poster teams for NA for 3-4 years now and their like the Dallas Cowboys were they will get the hype but fail to do anything when it counts.

Long story short it's a waste of time mainly if you're a NA fan and if you want NA to really do ANYTHING you will just be wasting your time, cause the wins will just never come. 2016 was NA's best chance. I mean look at the new players that are coming into the NA lcs scene. Moon? Hard? KFO(KFC)? Big? I mean just garbage players and NA is really at the bottom of the barrel these days with talent. How many more split does D-lift, Bjerg, Aphroo, Darshan, X-mthie have left ? 1 split? maybe 1 full year left? The only way NA makes any noise in the future is if they have 5 Korean players on each team in the future.
IF not just like in 2013-2014-2015 and so far 2016 NA will just get bent over and get destroyed over and over again.

The LCS is always insanely boring and bland. Atleast in Worlds there is action from start to finish. The NALCS is just unwatchable. I havent watched more than 1 game in total in years. NA is all about avoiding any and all confrontation with the enemy team for the first 25min...they want to farm and get all their items before they do anything at all. Atleast in other regions there is action the whole game. The NALCS culture is all about avoiding the enemy, but when they get to worlds they cant hang bc thats not how any other region plays the game. They play from behind and on their back foot the whole game. One other thing.....i believe a big part of why TSM lost is biergsen decided to play Zilean mid. Zilean is far from a playmaker, and thats what bjergsen is. Why he played such a cruddy passive mid-laner in that game is beyond me. Korean players are too good for Zilean to be a factor at all.

Yeah while I do agree with most of your comments I somewhat disagree with just "the LCS has always been boring" I think 2014 was a fun year to watch the NA LCS and a little of the 2015 but for the most part I think NA LCS will only go down hill from here. Looking at the new players and talent coming in to NA it's a lose-lose situation. The players who have represented NA for years are coming to the end of their careers such as Bjergsen-Doublelift-Aphromoo-Xpecail-etc etc there are not much time left for some of them.

Yeah TSM would be ahead 24/7 in NA!!! Where the talent is pure garbage compared to the LCK and LPL. Bjergsen playing Zilean was pretty much a "guys I'm tilted Carry me" ring to it but you can't do that on the INTERNATIONAL STAGE!!! Players are much smarter than that. Why would Bjergsen play a "support" mage instead of playing a carry mid is beyond me. Bjergsen needs to learn how to be the Bjergsen of old 2013 and be the one that carries his team not be someone that needs his team to help carry instead. Voice or no voice has nothing to do with your fingers on a keyboard or outplays.
