Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Clearly it has something going for it.

Now american football? Great way to watch commercials, awful for watching sport.


I think the spectating is so widespread because people have such national pride, and being part of a big group of fans is probably pretty fun. Its not because they enjoy the action on the field. I can't imagine all those dudes sprinting back and forth for an hour or whatever is all that enthralling. My gf loves it and made me watch a game. I enjoyed watching the USA play, but that kind of cements my point in my own mind at least.

Shit like that, which I see every so often, furthers any remote interest I had for the game. I like American Football and can watch whenever my father calls me up to chat about it; but I can't sit down and watch any soccer/football without being bored out of my mind.

At least with Hockey, they can get pretty violent.

I think I'm just not a sports-watcher, but Soccer/Football is incredibly long and dull. IT Crowd does a pretty good episode on it.

It's amazing how NA doto has gone from a total joke to a real powerhouse thanks to EG alone.

I mean, EG, of all teams.

Aui's a good support player. Also apparently he did some drafting recently? I know he doesn't in-game captain much though.

I did forget about Aui when I said that. He's pretty good too, although priority wise, he gets above average farm for a support. Every game 4/5 EG heroes have solid net worth while PPD is there in the bottom. It's amazing how he rarely he feeds.

Zai, 1437 (well, canada), Aui (well, he knows how to farm on supports, also canada), ppd is average IMO...

That's it pretty much. I guess Demon on support has been decent.

Oh, I honestly never knew that. I guess never mind about him then.

Why is he on team american then?

Fluff? Not like he was kicked by TL for his play and he managed to take IXmike and 3 nobodies to 1 series from Seattle.

But yeah, the lack of supports in NA is really what is hurting the scene.

Do you guys think for improving play, you should stick to one role and hammer away at it? Or is it better to try to become well rounded? You got me thinking about it when you mentioned Zai. I tend to just play whatever... Slark, WD. Meepo, lich, aa, ta, mirana and a few others. I wonder if I'm handicapping myself by doing that....
