Keep the rage to a minimum. This includes wait times between games, music, and balance.

Fair warning to all.

Umm NA scene did "better" than EU did at TI2 aside from Navi. They also have more upcoming teams, well did before TI2 now EU picking it up a bit with M5 and Empire. At the top I wouldn't say they weakest, lower down sure

let's be honest, FPS games the only thing NA has ever been good at

if you talk about games like quake, painkiller, counter strike etc

they have been dominated by swedes mostly or scandinavia, sk, nip, fnatic. usa doesnt even have a good team anymore.
now its dominated by poland and ukrania.

holland dominated painkiller. etc etc etc. So no, NA havnt dominated fps

considering how dumb AF's lvl1 was it's actually kinda silly they couldn't convert it into an advantage.

They got Outplayed in every sense of the word.

It wasnt even close. having a 3k lead at 7;40 and losing that game is just bad.

Whatever, the gold lead is not the beginning and the end of lol. They still won some team fight, made good calls, they showed they had some skill.



Nope. Azubu did everything better.

To me this was a huge stomp, that was easily to predict tho.

Be ready for the Korean/Asian domination in LOL.

It's fascinating just how bad American teams are in just about every esport.


I wouldn't go so far as to say this.

US teams lack infrastructure and just overall professionalization of their epsorts. Its almost like NA teams are amateurs competing against pros when you look at how the scenes are run. Even then NA has produced several stand out players/teams (and I don't really see how TSM 0-2 vs Frost shows OMG NA SUCKS as the games were NOT stomps). The one game type that was competitive that NA scene "liked" IE FPS they had great success actually.

If there's ever a Madden world championships, NA would own.


same as every other game that nobody else plays

Apparently Europeans think any game they don't play doesn't matter .

Not even talking about American football either.

Waje up people that really think TSM got a chance in this tourney. Even after yesterday there are alot of people still put TSM in the top 3 teams lol.
TSM would have been eliminated in group if they were in there. Just look at how bad their top 2 opponents did in group play, you can evaluate TSM's real power from that.

NA is far behind the rest of the world, maybe ahead of South America? if there is any team there. They can't even compete with SEA teams(both SAJ and TPA are in the Garena Pro League, which is one of the few tournies that SEA has)

Are you serious ? They lost a bo3 against Azubu Frost, arguably the best lol team at the moment. You're saying TSM couldn't have beaten clg.na, dignitas, SK, WE, Saigon Jokers ?

The very early game swings are A LOT more random than mid game. I won't say it was all luck, but TSMs early lead was at least in part due to out-guessing AF's jungle path.

Every time a Korean team or M5 has gotten a lead like that, they have squeezed the life out of the other team through the mid game. Instead TSM slowly but surely lost their lead. That to me displays the difference in skill between the teams even more so than a 20 minute roflstomp.

M5 the last non asian team hope. And they looked freaking awesome against IG.

I really want to see a TPA vs. Frost finals, not because of any ill will toward M5/CLG.EU/WE, but because Lilballz vs. CloudTemplar in the jungle would be absolutely mind-blowing.

Did you miss the first game where TSM was down 10k and still pulling even in teamfights? Their decision making isn't the best when it comes to following up on an early lead, but to say Azubu did Everything better is a little much.

US mindset when it comes to this is absolutely pathetic.

Also Dyrus is really bad now, he just doesnt enjoy the game anymore.
