Like if you look at the 2 regions historically, they are pretty equal, sometimes one wins, sometimes the other. Why waste breath with NA>EU or vice versa, when we should all be pooling our fan trash-talking energy to being hyped about how well we are doing against the East.
I mean why fight over C9 vs FNC when we can all be glad that Origen beat KT, or that C9 is an unexpected strong team that NA and EU are bringing to worlds against KR and CN?

Muh boii6 votesBecause we are rival regions and it's fun. I'm glad Origen beat KT, but I'm even more glad C9 beat Fnatic. Just because we have a common enemy doesn't mean we can't still shit talk each other.
Jason the other1 votesLol rivals are always fun ever good thing needs a rival
Kal Vas Flam5 votesI just like watching good games, don't really care what country the teams are from. Obviously I am partial to NA teams but have seen respect and dignity from the other regions. The C9 vs Fnatic game was awesome I loved it. Respect to both LOL JUST KIIDDING C9 GONNA TAKE IT ALL EURO TRASH!
Reynard the ƒox2 votesbc eu is trash
TheSequelsRBad5 votesNo they aren't, actually, they are weaker recently, but historically they have more international success than NA. I am glad NA is evening it up, and don't get me wrong I am ecstatic C9 won. But I also want OG and FNC to do well, and am glad OG is showing up.
Reynard the ƒox1 votesya there bad tbh na is the only good region
TheSequelsRBad1 votesWell compared to NA everyone is bad, but EU is about the same as everyone who isn't NA.

Ever since FNC played skt in Msi, there was a huge momentum that eu>Na
C9 took down the best of eu though, something only OG could have claimed.

PyroAmos1 votesI want OG to do well... I want FNC to flop, just cause of all the hype the EU casters give them. I believe the one EU caster said C9 is the worst team at worlds and would go 0-6 and FNC was best in their division and would go 6-0.... which means he is currently 1 correct 5 wrong on his C9/FNC picks. That makes me happy in my pants.
SuperJediNinja2 votesWonder why people say this after the C9 vs Fnatic game...
YCitizenSnipsY1 votesYeah its pretty funny that these threads only pop up after EU looses to NA. I never seem to find threads any other time.
xJLx MCHammer1 votesI'm extremely happy that Koreans and Chinese team with Korean teams are failing.
I hope the trend continues. I'm still happy c9 won but even as their fan I wasn't expecting c9 to win vs FNC. At least, not one game, maybe beat of 5. Regardless, I think you can let the fans claim Na>eu for now, as well west>east
Eu and Na are united vs China and Korea but there is still a healthy rivalry between the regions. It's that out mutual hatred towards Korea is too...good
TheDuelist9991 votesKorea is still #1 at 7-2 NA #2 6-3 EU #3 5-4 China is tied for #4 with LMS 3-6 and 2-4 respectively China does have head to head IWC #6 at 1-5
Slappybiscuit1 votesAgreed. These children thinking that one team performing better than another means that they vicariously won something. It's ridiculous.
Jason the other1 votesIs N.A still the worst region?
TheSequelsRBad1 votesUm I assume you haven't been watching this worlds.
And no, they aren't.
Daedalus8711 votesNA = Europe = China > LMS
Jason the other1 votesThat wasnt a question more of a sarcastic comment
Mazariamonti1 votesIt goes like this for me, I root in a tier based system with North American and European teams at tier 0 and 1, respectively, wildcard teams at tier 2, Korean teams at tier 3, and Chinese teams at tier 7,568. Highest tier gets priority. I love all the European teams and want them to do well unless it is in conflict with a North American team. In general at worlds I'm just rooting for whichever NA or EU teams are there to get as far as possible.
TheSequelsRBad1 votesSame for me, but with Taiwan over China.
PyroAmos1 votescause the east doesn't speak English?
TheSequelsRBad1 votesBecause for most of the time in this sport China/ Korea have been arrogant and contemptuous of the western e-sports scene. And as a Western fan it feels nice to get a little of our back.
Ace of Bronze1 votesIt's a rivalry thats been there for years, it not gonna leave, you should just stop trying to make it go away.
