I don't see a competition in the NA LCS

It's the same top teams in the top 3. I want to see some competition, some fury from the falling teams. It isn't cool seeing (even though I love c9) the same teams win everytime.

The 9th team is 1 win from getting up to 8th, 2 wins to getting tied for 5th, 3 games for 4th. Like this season is the most competitive NA has been. C9 had to get their feet back under them at the beginning of the season.

those tema like c9 ans Tsm also dont completly screw themselves by changing roster every year or during mid season. teams and ppl need to realize that that probally hurts worse than sicking with ur guys.it takes massive amounts of time for new members to learn to play together.that really is a handicap in my opinion.C9 and most of TSM have been together a while, and it shows in their teamfighting, and shotcalling reflects this. It makes otherwise devoloping teams look bad.Everyone wants to win i get that.Teams need to learn how not to screw themselves b4 ever playing the game.

TSM, really?

Spring 2014: Bjergsen replaces Regi. Summer 2014: Gleeb replaces Xpecial. Lustboy replaces Gleeb. Amazing replaces Oddone. Spring 2015: Santorin replaces Amazing.

Yeah, they don't change rosters...

so what 2 years ago they changed supports and got a hell of a lot better mid but as it sits right now TSM with the exception of Santorin has been together for a while it til shows but my piont isnt that they never swap players that the dont do it a lot like other teams or in the middle of a spilt

Umm, that was last split, and they replaced not one, but two supports. Honestly though, I put the dates beside it and you think it's two years ago?! Like wtf. You said they don't change rosters mid-season, but I'm pretty sure they added Lustboy mid-season. You said they don't change rosters every year, I show you one year where they made 5 roster changes. Only Dyrus and Turtle have been on TSM's starting roster for a while, so don't try and say they don't try and upgrade their talent when they get the chance. They don't "stick with their guys" as you put it. Only C9 doesn't change rosters.

Yes... when it comes to comparing NA to EU the OP has a point. Alas there is still competition among the top tier teams of NA... but indeed not as it should.

How is there not fury from the falling teams? 2 of TSM's losses are from currently mid-tier teams. C9's lost to WFX and GV. Liquid's lost to DIG, GV, and WFX. CLG is the only top tier team that hasn't lost to a team below 4th place (Gravity could change that today though).

Heck, even last split LMQ broke into the top 3, that's not the same 3 teams.

And this is why NA is the best region for fans who like to stick behind their favorite team and not jump from favorite team to favorite team every year based on who is at the top of the Korean scene. I like that no matter how hated TSM is (most loved and most hated team easily). At the end of the day they are a derpy team who have proven they are at the top of NA, #1 or #2. And I dont mean they always end #1 but in general they have been at the very top bracket for so long that they are without a doubt tied for NA's best team.

Also gives us hope since NA top tier seems to be consistent. Even if TSM doesn't win, I know C9 pulls through when they need to. And LMQ/TIP is becoming a favorite of mine too, even if they have a mid laner who would let you die if he had to choose between you and a cs.
