There are quite a few Canadians and Americans in the LCS, we have:
-Hauntzer
-Doublelift
-Adrian
-Wildturtle
-Pobelter
-Crumbzz
-Shiphtur
-Remi
-Stixxay
-Dardoch
-Sneaky
-Balls
-Hai
There are more, but I'm to lazy to list all of them right now.
EDIT: Removed RF.
For me, all the koreans/europeans reminds me of when David Beckham signed with that LA soccer team years ago. The idea of teams willing to sign proven foreign talent instead of going with home-grown weaker talent has been going on longer than sports has existed, becoming buried in "american" tradition.
This game has turn into a serious sport for LCS, gota do what you gota do to win and earn that $$$$
Or lose more $$$$ importing Korean and EU
I tend to agree with the OP, it's boring watching teams with players who can't speak English, who we can't relate to at all. Where are the Brothers, the Mexicans, the Red Necks, the Yankees, the Cowboys, where are the people that define what North America is? Where is the character at in this league?
We're stuck in bronze/silver
Have you looked a c9 before? Last season they had 1 European, and before that all americans. With the addidtion of rush, they still have 3 american players.
News flash, the term "Americans" includes anyone residing in America; a name originally referring to the land mass that blocked direct travel westward from Europe to India and Asia; currently called North America and South America. Was your intention to ask for more United States citizens, or American natives, or the historic native American cultures that have been marginalized and segregated into quasi-nation states by way of a series of broken faith treatises?
News flash, americanism is a political idea that spawned the american exceptionalism theory, and that purposed that anyone who experienced a model America would become a believer in the ideology, such that an open invitation to the world's people would create a world of Americans. The doctrine intended to win the hearts and minds of the people, while using a dominant navy to present the big stick to ruling bodies abroad that would oppose such externationalization of the international populations. Because nationalization (or externationalization in this case) requires a nation state to which the patriotism is applied, the goal of Americanism was to unite the entire land mass, North America and South America, into a nation that monopolized this hemisphere of Earth.
Are you still sure you are correctly asking for "good ole american folks," because that would include all the players in the LCS who have been exposed to the United States, which politically conforms with americanism, thus it is presumed their hearts and minds have been won over by the experience; aside the fact that they are considered American by their residency.
gogoggogo America !!!
I feel like the entire point of America is that nobody's really "American." It's not an ethnicity. We all came from somewhere else somewhere down the line. Look at the population of the US compared to that of the UK. They're what, like, 90% white? We're a melting pot, that's kinda the point.
Well 1st off its North America which covers way more then just America. Though yes a team that isn't half Korean would be nice. Though be it not that good.
American is not an ethnicity, it is a nationality. If you are a legal citizen of america then you ARE american, regardless if your ethnicity is korean or french, danish or anything else.
All these asians eastern folk, black people, white people in the NA LCS are all americans because they live in america. I would like to stop hearing about so many idiot biggots marginalizing the LCS based on their own ignorance.
Same, I miss old C9 so much.
