When SK was good, they won everything. Fnatic Navi etc etc dominated NA, isnt it weird that 3D just jumped to source because they got raped? Dunno. Then we have Fatality, which is like how a "pro gamer" should be. Takes it seriously and practice alot. However, he was dominated in painkiller by voo and others (expect grand finals) and in quake 4 by cooler and a swede. I just feel americans have this laid back attitude and still being cocky. ant it just looks stupid when they loose all the time. to get some actual numbers in on this: http://www.hltv.org/blog/5446-country-rankings-2000-2011 | ||

1. Don't let them have skarner. Actually in general, why give any team skarner? To make an engage happen out of nothing is plain dumb not to mention his speed and tankyness. 2. Be ready to defend your jungle early, so many western have the mindset of "but... aren't we still in laning phase? I dont know what to do, why would they ward my jungle so early? WTF *dies horribly to facechecks*". 3. Individual skill; they're just better. Better mechanics, better gamesense. So much for solo queue grinding I guess? | ||

Again, 3D and complexity dominated early before the big teams from europe came and from asia. Then we never saw them again. That is what happening in LoL also. CLG was great 1 year ago, not anymore. | ||

You're saying TSM couldn't have beaten clg.na, dignitas, SK, WE, Saigon Jokers ? See, you still delusional, even after this. Lets say you take SK out of group A and put TSM in there. Do you really think TSM can beat Frost and iG to get out of group A? Lets say you take Dig out of group B and put TSM in there. Do you really think TSM can beat Najin and CLG.eu or even Saigon Jokers(given how hard SAJ stomped Dig, I would give SAJ a really good chance of beating TSM). Imo, NA teams will just stay bad. Why? Because stream soloQ 10 hours a day bring them enough profit to get them going. There are so much tourney that only available to them, so no Korean/Asians team can come and take their prize. They can just stay bad playing each other and make still make money. | ||

They removed a player from the team for not wanting to dedicate an insane amount of practice. People can bag on them for streaming semi frequently. They need to support themselves with the funding from that because of lack of sponsors. Whenever a larger tournament is coming up, they halt their stream sessions. They scrim quite frequently, with other NA/EU teams. They're near the ceiling of what they are allowed to train. Practicing on the Asian serves would be a waste of time, with the ping. I'm sad that they lost, but don't fault it on practice. Nobody here is surprised that the Koreans have taken over. Practice doesn't just mean playing and scrimming a lot. It is about a systematic, strategic approach to improving. I see how much they stream solo queue and the results at the tourny speak to that. Your post makes it sound like you think the Koreans are just inherently better, which is false. They work harder and take it more seriously. If TSM or other NA teams want to be taken more seriously then they need to get more serious about the game. | ||

Until it reaches the point where non Korean teams become "foreign" and you got separate tourneys for Korea and the rest of the world. We are witnessing history folks | ||

The korean scene has been dominant since a long time now, only CLG.NA refused to see that. But M5 and CLG.EU have always been up there, with TSM not so far behind. CLG.EU getting 2nd at OGN, winning Naijin sword and stomping 2-0 frost mean what ? | ||

If NA teams just took it more seriously and played together more, to be better as a team, and understanding each other, and developing new tactics, they would have done better. Instead they are more interessted in streaming solo queue and fucking around | ||
