Quote from: Forgotfulking on December 21, 2017, 10:02:08 pmThis isnt eu vs na discussion thread xdThis.EUs stop posting here if you're not involved with the league.Maccle stfu.
Dodges team has been removed, if your team has a match against pentitisms then it will be a Dr-facto win.been a busy week, sorry loves
Sleek somehow only attacks when he’s successfully pulled a dude away and his team is coming to help - as in, the most reasonable time to continue blocking
Sleek plays like he's underwater - slow
Hey I got a kill against drake with a kick you dumbos
reminder that teams have to play their first two matches (rounds 1 and 2 on the bracket) by the 24th

The example Ledger gave isn't really a good one as Jackie hadn't really grown into his fullest potential until the 12th.

He wasn't at his peak in EU and was still ranked as one of the best, and when he came to NA and got better, he was the best (imo)(for a time).It's hard to judge his peak since the tier of opponents he faced in EU was higher than in NA, maybe he is better now but it's harder to see. Anyways, it's not relevant to the point. He ranks 87 on the Community List, that seems quite above average to me. Still a rather competent player though. He must've had some quite magical late peak vs NA though if he is alright in EU and then suddenly becomes in your opinion the best NA (having played the game a lot already by that point in time).Above average competitive wise is like 80, it's debatable/different for each person. And wow yeah 2012 is very late and magical.. this is purely anecdotal here but, the first year of playing the game I was AIGHT.

NA players are not mechanically worse than EU players. It's a cultural difference along with their attitude towards competitive play and their reluctance to evolve. Long story short : You're inept.
