Nothing new here. Another world, another year where NA is just embarassing to watch.
Liquid, C9 and 100T all 1-2 to begin and it won't get any easier for them. I hate doing EU VS NA comparisons, but they have been performing so much better so far. We have Fnatic and G2 both 2-1 and Vitality are impressive so far even if they are 1-2 (they threw the game VS C9).
Unlike NA, EU are actually not meta slaves and they play to the strengths of their teams, not afraid to bring out picks like Heimer, Sivir or Eiko. Thier overall performance is also much better. NA are playing so passive or make stupid engages at wrong times (Like that Blaber engage in C9 vs Gen.G...).
I honestly don't expect a single NA team to get our of groups this year.
