I mean I’m glad because Rush is the best streamer on twitch but kinda lol at the same time. This is incredibly common, at least in other esports.

Can you, please, name foreigners, who came to NA with functioning limbs and at least some motivation left in the tank, and killed their promising careers? Besides ohq, of course. And then, if you do not mind, do the same for TCL, curious to find out about uprising or decent South Korean and European players, who got worse there as well. Thank you in advance. | ||

Thank you in advance. I mean GBM went to both and is mediocre as fuck. RO went from amazing in EU to literally unwanted in NA. It was mostly a joke, but there's quite a few people who have gone to Turkey after their careers were pretty donezo. Reach is another. Hell Ninja also pulled a GBM too | ||

If a hyped prospect went to a region and didnt become a superstar it's not necessarily the region's fault, or the organization's fault for that matter. Besides that, motivation and functioning limbs are also difficult to assess in a lot of cases. Of course there are people like GBM and certain other Koreans who just chill and cash out, but can we truly say that someone like Frozen didn't have the ambition to become a top 3 midlaner in the world? All I'm saying is that saying "player A became bad here" doesn't tell us too much. | ||

Hell Ninja also pulled a GBM too GBM, who wasn't anything special since Gangplank nerfs in 2015, but still murdered both TCL/Rift Rivals. Reach didn't pretend to be good so him being terrible at both TCL/LCL is ok. And Ninja's peak was making WeiXiao retire instead of going to Worlds in 2014, so not sure if worth talking either. And Reignover was a NA LCS MVP, just in case, head and shoulders above any other player in North America for a year, until Liquid decided that paying six figures could make Reignover tolerate his teammates in 2017 TL.

He was nearly relegated in LCL, stint with Dark Passage was too short. Realistically, TCL is the best place for the upcoming Europeans to play, since EU Masters is a joke and Turkey actually has competition plus funds. Sure, not for everyone, since there is school, but all in all, a decent place to start your career, unless you're Magifelix, your team is a dumpster fire and has Elwind in it. | ||
