No excuses left for NA

LMS - Gone LPL and LCK - Dealing with that Resident Evil virus LEC is the only region at this point that has been playing their regular games and such.

If "Jetlag" is a real thing there should be no excuses for North America not to do well on the International stage. And I'm not saying NA NEEDS to win Worlds but the real goal for NA is at least tohave 2 teams make it to Quarterfinals and I'll be fine with the results. Don't care if NA goes 0-3 within 30 mins in the QTs but something other than 3-3 and to be constantly either up in the first week 2-1 or 3-0 and still not make it out of groups.

I say Worlds because let's be honest, MSI might not actually happen and even if it does many of the other regions might not send it's best team because of the schedule and such. And 2.) because no one cares about MSI. Worlds is the real tournament, the Wrestlemania of E-Sports/League and to be constantly bent over is getting old.

There's no more excuses! We have Korean teams in our groups, our group is hard, we are "jetlag", we have a cold,....blah, blah, blah!
This resident evil virus is legit doing a better job at defeating the Asian teams than NA has ever done on the International stage and we need to capitalize on it.

And for the love of god NA teams try to eliminate D-Lift's Team Liquid from being able to make it to Worlds! Love me some Broxah but f$ck, D-Lift is a weeny at Worlds. I think after 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 it's a tell-tale sign he shouldn't be there.

The LMS is now technically the PCS but the point still stands... Pin them together with Resident Evil though and it's still fitting.

Let's see...worst way for NA hope to die....hmm....

  • C9 lose the finals
  • Lose to LATAM
  • Lose to Oceania
  • TSM goes to MSI

Jeez there's too many ways...

LCK is playing their games like normal, they simply are closed to the public due to virus scare. And there are three very good teams duking it out at the top of their region. I've been watching LCK a bit more than LCS, and from what I've seen T1, Gen G, and DragonX are easily as good, if not better than C9. Doesn't help that besides C9 the only thing consistent in NA is how crazy inconsistent and bad every team but C9 is.

If MSI does go on as planned, and anyone somehow topples C9 and reps NA, they will get roflstomped by LEC or LCK. If C9 goes I don't have much faith in them because they haven't faced any serious competition, and facing it at MSI from other regions could lead to a very rude awakening.

NA has a better window with LPL not playing, but still see them as weaker than EU and Korea.
