EU have some very strong and interesting teams right now, FNC, H2K and the new comer Origen of Xpeke ( they look unstoppable).
As for NA? TSM who is supposed to be the strongest team of NA doesn't even look dominant. You can't think about Worlds if you can't even dominate your own region..
Anyway, I don't really like TSM right now. As a team for NA, i really hope TL or CLG win the Summer split and playoffs.
ZeroAnarchy4 votesEU and NA are the complete opposite right now. In EU there are so many teams that could be 1st place (OG, H2K, FNC, UOL), while in NA there are so many teams that could pretty much be relegated (DIG, NME, T8). I feel like NA took a step back from last season when our teams were actually starting to be able to compete well internationally.
Fórsa1 votesExactly + C9, TSM questionable changes.
Azmoran1 votesI thought Dig was looking pretty decent actually.
Earl Eulrich2 votesi´m just afraid what´ll happen when teams start banning zac against them.
ZeroAnarchy1 votesYeah, then you realize their schedule is pretty soft. C9 is pretty weak right now since they still need to find their groove. TDK put up a good fight against them and right now it's just subs. They only faced on good team (CLG) and got crushed.
SinatraZ3 votesI think teams just need to play agressive like FNC and OG. Passive games are boring and in NA theres a lot of it.

Niaphim2 votesWhatever people say, NA has (or used to have) it's own style. I used to enjoy NA games but right now I feel (didn't count for exact numbers) there are more Korean\Chinese imports than actual NA players, so when teams play, there is an internal conflict between NA and eastern (asian) playstyle and they start to look like wannabe-Korean rookies, chasing both, reaching none. I mean, if you follow someone, you will always be at least 1 step behind. So I'd like to see more NA talents developing their own gameplay and comps.
KazaLyn Shao1 votesThe problem is, the NA style is bad. We've never done well internationally, so of course they'd make a change and try learning from the best region. We haven't mastered it, but I'd rather chase the best than try to make some special snowflake style that doesn't work anywhere but here. It's just not worth it. NA styles just aren't good.
TheXtractor1 votesI like EU more mostly because of the playstyles, most of the NA games are slow and boring or just really bad when it comes to the games. EU has more active and interesting games most of the times
DrCyanide1 votesJust don't let UoL get AP Kog'Maw... I was so happy when CW banned it, since it meant an actually interesting game to watch.
KazaLyn Shao1 votesBecause it's not Bronze level play against other trash teams from the joke region? No surprise there.
