What is EU?

Now you are just making excuses yourself because whatever happens EU will drop out the same as everyone else not have achieved anything better than NA, only difference is how easy are the groups and quarter finals then of course that NA or EU team usually makes it further to later be obviously crushed.

I remember previous years where EU didn't made pass group stages and being really bad, i remember NA not making pass and being really bad, its all always same thing. No matter who has won the lottery of having easier groups NA or EU they are bound to be utterly crushed against koreans at some point. Even if one year lottery will fluke someone in the finals they are never going to win it. So EU > NA or NA > EU fuck this shit, both are losers by our own logic.

Oh ffs, results matter. And up until this year EU has been pretty much always better than NA. These "if not vs samsung duo" etc are just excuses. Something along the lines of GMB cheese and tough group of G2. But these would be the same excuses. Fact of the matter is that NA was bad last year and EU is bad this year.

Bullshit. They weren't better last year. Not even close NA was clearly better last year by any stretch of any imagination.
NA 4-0 vs EU last year. 9-9 in groups vs EU's 6-12.
Much better record in groups. The only EU team that did shit only did so because they didn't have a single NA or Korean team in their group and got a draw even better than TSM's this year.
And we all saw rift rivals where our 10th place team went 4-2 vs your 3, 1, and 4. Face it. EU has flat out sucked ever since Fnatic lost Huni and reignover and Origen collapsed.

Not quite the same thing - they didn't show up vs lck teams as far as I recall whereas na teams did vs samsung when samsung won worlds AND they had proven they were the equal of the other half of the bracket whereas the same cannot be said for og or fnc in the season you speak of. So, there is a SIGNIFICANT difference in the two comparisons.

H2K's problem has been the same every year; they don't understand how to ADAPT in game - they've got a script, as some would put it, and when it's not followed, they don't know how to write a new one as a team. This is why they lose to other "good" teams, but beat weaker teams. Their mechanics aren't so much stronger than other good teams, and they don't know how to impose their will on such teams once they lose the tempo. This is why I never buy into the H2K hype - much as I admire Jankos as a player; his team just isn't good enough - which is really sad with how amazing of a lead he can hand them many games early on.
