EPTIt is like 8 teams have nuclear weapons. The top 3 teams all have 3 missiles. the bottom 5 have one. Now a challenger team makes it into lcs with 2 missiles. The 5 bottom teams need to react so they also but 2 additional missles. Now the top three teams see that the bottom have exactly the same missiles as they have. So again even the top 3 teams get additional missiles to keep their spot. And thats part of how a league gets better.

Honestly just pretty impressed with the management of the top teams in NA. It's not perfect but there's a definite improvement happening. If only some of them would learn to stop using social media. | ||

I had the feeling that many teams saw it comming to drop another place in the rankings and they all tried to change their rosters and get coaches to the better. When a good team joins a league its mostly not about that other teams "learn" something. A big part of it is that teams actually see their food taken away from them and have to change something.

That was indeed the point I was trying to make (tho one could argue if its the coming of LMQ or the dominance of C9 that caused it). Europe needs something like that to shake up the teams, to force them to work on improving themselves or settle for being 3/4th place. And no I don't believe the large shakeups happening at the moment are a sign that it is already happening. I would say that it is actually a terrible sign. Your not working to create a coherent team when a large part of the teams is switching almost their entire lineup. | ||

Your not working to create a coherent team when a large part of the teams is switching almost their entire lineup. So now you are saying the roster swaps are too much to be a sign of teams trying to improve or what? First teams are too stagnant, then they change too much. With what exactly would you be content then? This whole notion of yours that teams dont try to improve or whatever is just complete nonsense. And especially what you base it on. The competition among the teams is already extremely high. | ||

Why would Alex Garfield spent money on management/coaches etc. when he can just sign new Dota 2 team? If you refer to Alliance, they had a bigger coaching staff than anyone else in NA or EU. Heck they even had a cook. :D They were not missing anything. Fnatic could need more support though. | ||

Their manager/owner is working full time for joinDota and doesn't even live in Cologne. Their coach - Leviathan didn't get paid for months, because he was on 'trial'. Rest I don't know, but they had some guys that researched for them before Worlds for free. EG was fucking mess too with manager that didn't do shit according to Krepo post. | ||

TSM has a few Hearthstone players, a Smash player, and don't they have a Smite team or something? | ||

The competition among the teams is already extremely high. I meant stagnant in terms of skill, not only within Europe but especially when compared to the rest of the world. Sorry I was not more clear in that. Your free to disagree but I dont call every team losing and winning to every other team a sign that the region is doing well. | ||

It's not, but Alliance had once of the worst managment/coaching stuff out of any LCS teams. Also their cook was Krepo girlfriend that stayed with them for some reason and their coach/manager didn't. They didn't even have gaming room in their house. On November 01 2014 00:55 Gahlo wrote: Not at all. TSM has a few Hearthstone players, a Smash player, and don't they have a Smite team or something? Still they spend like 75-90% of their budget on League team, easily. | ||

I disagree but wont challenge you on that. My problem is with the claims that teams don try hard enough, have to be shaken up or whatever. I dont see any basis for that idea. I mean ok Koreans always try harder, but I dont see any difference to NA in this respect.

And I saw lots of people saying the way Alliance was training wih the seperation etc was an example for others to follow when tehy were on their winning streak. Now that they lost a game vs Kabum its suddenly all bad. | ||

Now that they lost a game vs Kabum its suddenly all bad. The idea is 5 people living on their own and meeting in 1 place every day to practice. Just like a normal working person. Not 5 people living in 1 house who have to go somewhere else to be able to play. | ||

Also playing all the time from your bedroom is stupid idea and I never liked that. | ||

I am ok with China kicking Kespa in the butt because it will force them to pay better. But this is kinda going too far even for my liking. I wonder what kind of money they are ready to throw at Faker. | ||
