I say USA and not NA because to be fair Canada has a tons more skill than the US.

But anyway i had a sudden Epiphany of how the US is possibly, just as if not more influential to E-Sports than the rest of the foreign community. With out directly supporting skilled players (Few exceptions of course ex. IdrA...) the US dishes possibly the most money for tournaments at lesat major tournaments (all the small EU tournaments do add up eventually) for ex. NASL and MLG.

The US also has the greatest people to offer E-Sports I will list my personal favorites sorry if i miss some.

Day9
Tasteless
Artosis
Husky
DJ Wheat
Painuser (im actually not sure )
Tyler
Incontrol
HuK (Dual citizen so eh)

But thats just off the top of my head so although US may suck at PLAYING SC were the best in keeping it entertaining.

+ Show Spoiler +
*Yes this is literally just a rebuttal to all the EU's who always put down the NA ladder and it makes me sad

I know this is literally a NA vs EU but its not my intention just my blog and im pointing out how useful the US is useful to SC2 because as of late i've always been wondering what the US does to help out E-Sports

Flame if you want eh i dont really care just pointing out that we suck player wise but personality wise we excel

It helps that US is a larger country that also has the advantage of a shared language that most people in EU can understand, while only select people in NA can understand usually only a single European language. In otherwords, US has the advantage of a larger people pool and a far wider potential audience.

I see great things for the future of this thread.

Also, as an American, it hurts me that a whole post is dedicated to the fact that we are the ugly girls in high school but underneath it all we are really nice.

I think you are spot on, I can't think of a singular community person in Europa that is even close to the casters you mentioned.

Never even thought of it that way.

So much of this sounds like an inferiority complex though I can't determine who it's for.. probally because the complex isn't justified.
Please make more structured threads man, even the discussing is so random and offtopic
And say NA cus people won't complain half as much
