EU better start taking ESPORTS more seriously

Angelofchaos16x··2 votes·483 views

So many stars of the EU scenario left to EU, and now Froggen himself packed his bags to go play for Echo Fox. All the players are saying that the salaries can't compete, and obviously they can't, the people and corporations over in NA saw the potential that Esports has and are funding teams. If this keeps up,the teams from EU is gonna pale in compare to the other LCS teams. Not saying NA > EU or vice versa, but I am saying that salary wise NA > EU, and that is where the stars go. I have hopes in teams from EU though, Vitality are looking massive, so yay for them.

They can't spend money they don't have. I've read that it is tougher to get sponsors in EU because different countries have different companies and different languages. So they just don't make as much. Not sure how true it is just what I read.

What you said is true, but only partially...the BIG difference in this offseason money wise has been done by VC money that NA got for no reason other than probably the investors are American and that was easier to create a top team in NA once you pur in money when people started to analyze their investment

The difference is: In EU, we actually have good pro players, we dont need to buy them from oversea like NA does ;)

Don't get why this is getting so much negative feedback, it's true, eu has become west's korea, and na has become the china of the west.

Has always been that way, no sponsors = small salaries.
