What's the point of NA/EU Teams...

When all we see are actually KR/CH Players?

I know this might sound really bad on my part and even racist but isn't the deal with national/regional teams to support your countrymen in a sport (e-sport)?

TSM: 1 canadian, 2 US, 1 now considered US (been there for like 3 years i think) and one european.

CLG: 3 US, 1 now considered US and 1 korean (not sure about this one but from gamepedia that's what i get)

C9: 1 korean, 1 european ,2 US and 1 canadian

Total: 2 canadian, 9 US, 2 european and 2 korean.

I think that's not too bad....

I know right, I wonder what racial group he will insult at worlds this year.

I don't know what your idea is but I'm not insulting any1 based on race. If it was the other way around (NA/EU Players been too much used in CH/KR teams) I would have expressed the same displease.

Teams are literally not allowed to do what you're describing. They have to have at least 3 residents from their region on their active team.

It feels weird but the quality of non KR regions have improved since the transfers which makes for interesting matches

Stars ShaperOct 1, 20162 votes

But why should I care for my region if all I see playing are (insert funny yet non offensive korean names) who just bring more points to the team (and severe communications problems with non KR players who might still be in the Team)?

Lets compare it to common sports like olympics or world football cup or w/e your favorite sport might be. You are supporting your nation team because you feel connected to them and not because foreigners are boosting you up the ranks.

look at the French EURO 2016 team for football.

exactly 4 players in the starting line-up were not from african origin.

And that's why they were the biggest joke in any non-french commentary.

This isnt the world cup..... You arent cheering for USA USA USA USA. You are rooting for a team. Where they are based doesn't matter. NBA for example, will scout outside of the US to see if they can find that yao ming. Money is on the line, you want to win that money, you get the best team possible for highest chance. Shouldn't be that confusing for you. Also, just because they have (insert Korean name) doesn't mean they can't be US.

I can't speak for EU or any other Country but for the United States that's what it's all about people all around the World in the USA. If you want to be apart of the USA you're Welcome to be apart and if you want to support and be apart of an E-Sport team more the merry.
