It's not just a stigma, the top EU teams have been consistently outperforming their NA counterparts for like a year now, if not longer.

EU's team looks stronger on paper. No room for error for NA.

im hyperboling, but I think every of EU's champions is considered pretty strong at the moment. Graves, Nauti, not so much

No it's explained already NA got lazy, with practice. That's it, nothing to do with talent with LCS they picked up so much right now. It's not stigma it's fact even NA teams themselfs will confirm this. That was in season 2, when they did not face international teams. Now they are putting more effort than before.

Nautilus is considered really strong atm, but Graves is neither stronk in the current meta NOR a "DLift-style" champ.

I don't understand the Graves pick over Varus. (Was Varus banned?) Just seemed like it would've been a stronger pick.

Lulu/Graves is a good lane for pushing, they will probably lane swap and try to burn down the tower super quick.

That is what i said, they picked up alot now. Result is though that EU teams performed alot better so far.
And i'd go with EU picks on this one.

Graves has an escape.

If nobody on EU gets caught this is over. NA will get poked to death with no engage. Only Naut can do anything.

Doublelift definitely knows how to play Graves well. He used to alternate between Graves and Caitlyn for a long long time.

I think it's actually illegal to display bones in media in China, dunno why they're not using Chinese Karthus

I can't actually think of a carry Doublelift can't play. Just a bunch he chooses not to.

I'll be interested to see how he plays him today. Certainly he hasn't been used much in S3 (by DLift or anyone else), so it'll be interesting to see how he comes out.

Someone's getting fired for this shit.

Well, I guess NA has stronger 5v5 100% committed teamfights. They have very limited ways to force those, though(Naut has to land a hook or get a nice ult). Actually I'm not even sure about that, Zac CC and damage are so crazy strong and EU has far more CC.
