I doubt it. I seriously doubt it.



I think individual strengths wise NA is really not that behind. NA lacks teamfighting decision making and general strategies/execution/teamwork/communication.


so.... they're behind in... everything?

Nah, NA is miles ahead of the world in Baron throws.

To be fair, they probably aren't getting a known A-class top laner. It's more likely they got some B-team shitter who's ok with taking free money from NA scrubs.

To be fair, anyone can replace Nientonsoh and be an improvement.

Yes, but I don’t think the difference is huge when it comes to laning. Again, JUST LANING.

The argument that this KR top laner is just going to come and destroy every single lane opponent is grossly exaggerated, especially in this anti snowball meta.

Uhh, Bjergsen came to NA and destroyed pretty much everyone. Why can't this Korean import do the same?

Rumble vs renek was game 2 of bota, Balls got a lot of help from Meteos and Soaz was screwed by some poor skirmishes, not because he didn't play to his champion's advantages. I think he plays renekton well, not on Asian level, but still one of the best in the west after Balls and Zoro (and maybe Darien lomo).
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

Well yeah you do have a point.In order for the korean guy to win lane they need to actually 1v1 and not just freeze on opposite sides of the map.

Soaz is a pretty shitty renekton dunno wtf you smoking bra.

As I told Roffles a few days ago I think Trace is a monster. He singlehandedly brought Aatrox into the Korean mainstream after world's and forced so many top lane Aatrox bans when he played. Has a lot of #potential so perfect for CLG.

Expession is still dying in the hospital I thought?

Problem is clg has no infrastructure to build young players. So they're forced to look for established players, and all the really good established players are already contracted to good teams. So now they have to look at crappy b-tier and c-tier players that none of the decent korean teams want anymore.

What western teams have infrastructure to build young players? All they do is just scoop up some already established challenger team and don't even practice with them or train them.

Rekkles was already a good player and under fnatic contract he played mainly with CW. Fnatic didn't really do anything to grow him(Think they tried a team or he did and it failed). They just made sure no one else bought him.

Curse academy is closest thing to farm team for talent. But for whatever reason they just never bother use those talents in their main roster.

the challenger b team system has been tried by basically every organization that could afford to do so, cloud 9 being the most recent. this gets dangerously close to the ESPORTS INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT ESPORTS INFRASTRUCTURE ESPORTS borefest that's been argued endlessly, but it's just a really difficult system to make work when being on a challenger 'farm team' isn't enough to allow players commit to gaming full time
