the NA LCS has this thing called scouting grounds, if you've never heard about it, it takes the top players from the challenger ladder and invites them to play in a pro-gamer enviroment to scout for new talent in teams.
I've looked over the internet, but i couldn't really find an EU LCS scouting grounds, just a nordic scouting grounds a few years ago. RITO PLS why is there no reward for high ladder players on the EU servers? [katarina-love]
NA has scouting grounds because they are not capable to produce young talent and have a very underdeveloped competitive tournaments scene, so they needed to create and event to showcase players that wouldn't have a chance to be noticed by pro teams EUW has national leagues (Iberic league, Germania league, UK league, France league, Polish league, Nordic league, Balkan league, Italian league, etc...) and a rich competitive third party scene with organizers, and amateur/semipro orgs so EU does not need an event like scouting grounds (they should do more to help challenger caliber teams)
i think there's only Ragnarok 
for Scandinavian players or something, but really there's no scouting grounds in EUW/EUNE
