"i want a pro team that can compete at worlds and stuff in major gaming leagues..." "But they always suck and lose"

Idk maybe too many poor spanish players or mexicans or w/e can't afford internet/computers?

I've met plenty with good mechanics. Nothing godly but more than good enough for solo queue and ranked 5's diamond play for sure.

Maybe its because they get servers last usually? Idk.

Enlighten me summoners.

Why are they usually weak, because his question made me curious honestly.

I couldn't really answer him. And now its gonna bug me until I figure it out myself.

It all depends on the society structure of the country. Nations like Korea, Japan, and China have invested a lot more economic pressure into technologies such as video games, and as such, their culture is much more open to the possibility of people making a living off of playing video games professionally. In the US, it's starting to turn around, and more people are becoming acceptive of eSports (although there still is a ways to go if the reaction to the Heroes of the Dorm finals played on ESPN2 is any indication of the current sentiment towards eSports)

In CS:GO, EU teams ARE the gods of Professional CSGO gaming. NA and various other countries are like the inferior ones and their raw talent, teamwork and stragedy are completely outclassed by EU Pros. While League seems to have KR as the dominant force, somebody also pointed out E-Sports was a huge part of Korea and players take it more seriously than NA.

You only need a few toasters in series to run LoL, the only problem is investment.

If no one is willing to bet money on pro teams, then there is no pro teams.
