I got my pick'ems right. I voted on EU.

But EU fans should show some humility too. SO MANY EU fans put MSF fourth. Like wtf. You can't come back and try to say how great you guys are when you all thought your team would get destroyed.

They don't pull anything out. They lose just like everyone else, it's only a matter of time and who happens to face who when. But you're partly right, the shit between NA and EU honestly needs to stop. Support your team, fuck everyone else. I don't give a shit what region you're from. As a C9 fan, I don't like TSM or Immortals and I was happy to see them go. This region shit is ridiculous at this point. I'm a St. Louis Cards fan, do you think I was supporting the Cubs when they won the WS? Hell the fuck ass no! I wanted their dreams to be crushed just like mine were that year. It's how all fans should be when it comes to their team. Nerds are way too fickle. The biggest group of fair weather fans I've ever seen are esports fans.

The biggest group of fair weather fans I've ever seen are esports fans.

While I agree with the first half of your reply, I don't think it's fair to compare traditional sports fans to esports fans. Mainly for two reasons:

Location: Many fans remain loyal to traditional sports teams because, simply put, they live in the same city or state. Not all fans are like this, but it is a very big factor in gauging fan loyalty. All NA teams live and play in Los Angeles.
Roster Changes: As of right now, esports has a much higher turnover rate on players compared to traditional sports. In esports, your favorite team could have 4-5 entirely different players from one year (or split) to the next. This is a significant factor to take into consideration when judging fan loyalty. Some people like to follow the players, and not necessarily the team, especially in esports where you can relate to a certain position you normally play (I like following support players, for example).

Other than that, you're entirely right that the shit between NA and EU needs to stop, and it would be a lot nicer if fans had greater team loyalty. However, as of right now, esports is just simply not set up for that.

WO WO WO

It's not that NA sucks. It's that no other team but C9 can do decent at worlds. This is why C9 actually started picking up more fans. They do decently enough in NA region and actually do better internationally.
