Let's stop the EU vs NA trash talk for now

It's getting ridiculous. And frankly kind of old. It's fun to trash talk when both regions are at a good spot or when they are near each other. But right now, I think it's more fun to talk about what do people think each of the 3 NA teams need to change in order to be more successful in the future.

I think TL need other NA teams to be more competitive so that their weaknesses are exposed more frequently and during scrims so they can work on those weaknesses. Also, I think Xmithie needs to go, I really like his personality, but I think he has reached his ceiling and isn't providing TL enough advantages to justify his drawbacks. And they need to find ways to win other than putting DL on a carry, having impact soak 25 million atmospheres worth of pressure and perma focusing bot lane. They also need to improve their champion pools. It was too obvious they were not comfortable with too many picks and didn't have enough bans for them.

C9. About C9 I think they need to address their sneaky(or the entire bot lane, not sure how good Zayzal is without watching him with a real 1st class adc) situation. I understand sneaky is a fan favourite, BUT, be it because he doesn't care anymore or because he just is past his prime, he can't go toe to toe with any of the worlds bot laners at all. His Cassio and Heimer and Sona... I don't know how these picks were even considered for him. (Again, like xmithie, I like sneaky as a person and he seems like a genuinely nice and fun guy) The dude was benched when non marksmen meta appeared, and now c9 decide to put him on those non marksmen that they thought he couldn't play for LCS let alone WORLDS. Makes no sense to me. Final point, I think c9 have to commit to either blabber or sven, it's not fair for either of those, they are both really good junglers with distinct differences but it pains me to see Sven was benched after being MVP in lcs. It's like C9 are keeping both so TL can't have one.

Clutch Gaming are not a team I am extremely familiar with, I have only watched maybe 20-30 games of them, so I would prefer to allow someone else to make a case for them first.

P.S. Please no NA vs EU toxicity. Let's talk some sense for once boards.

NA fans:

  1. EU teams have no imports 15/15 players are from EU g2/fnc/splyce roasters.

  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLDryQi3hNI "I do belive we are not going to beat korea using korean people importing them, I do belive we are going to beat korea using european guys".

3)https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/5v0d8o/regarding_korean_imports_in_eu_lcs_the_4_pieces/?sort=top

The import culture is what made your competitive trash. Frankly if I was riot I wouldn't allow imports to play at worlds. During regular season is ok... during worlds no. If you represent NA you must be from NA... if you represent EU you must be from EU. If NA soloq has problems with lack of talent the problem must be faced and not avoided by using imports.

No region can win vs korea if its teams are made of korea second choices players. Like SKT plays with impact top... eventually SKT finds a better top laner and your region is given impact... but it is obvious that if impact isn't in korea anymore it's because korea has grown a new more talented top laner. NA is not able to grow its own talents and that is because of your soloq/streamers/avgplayers being complete garbage and missguided. Like if you just check your streamers they are the majority toxic otps... if people like Tyler1 and yassuo are the "examples" for the NA league culture then no wonder you guys sucks (no offense).

Your region competitive has become a retirement home for 2-3rd choices from EU/KOR instead than NA talents wanting to prove themselves.

At this point I kinda want the LCS to fade away. I love the players but man, we as a region royally suck. Don't know what Riot can do here but I feel they could do something to help. Either way, I'm done watching LCS, what a piss poor performance at worlds
