Every EU team needs a 15k gold lead + baron before they finally force a tower down in a 5v5, and takes 50 minutes to shutdown a game. because they can gradually snowball a small lead to a bigger one without risk. they do it so smooth that the gold gap widens usually without action. thats why games are usually extremely methodical and are considered boring (i like them). | ||

As opposed to ending games with 5k gold leads? | ||

Not saying it's the worse way to play, but this entire split you keep seeing eu teams wait to bait out non turret objective and force farm game until 15k gold advantage before they fully group to dive turrets. | ||

What if they could close it at 5k but were just farming KDA, show off to get publicity and all star votes, or set all time high cs records? Would that be unethical? | ||

On that note, Nien is ass lol. Early picks for NA All Stars? Think its clear Balls/Meteos/Bjergsen for the solo laners/jungler. I guess Aphro/Lift for bot? | ||

I dunno about that. It mostly seems that the teams that are ahead are hesitant to do anything outside farming. It's not uncommon for EU teams with 5k gold lead be content continue to farm and preserve the laning phase well into 20 minutes into the game. | ||

In NA the gap between the good teams and the bad ones is huge, and despite that you even see such upsets like C9 losing to dead last XDG. In EU the gap is so small that the results are destined to be "random". It seems random but in reality it could be something like 60-40 for the better team. Also, few players can dominate and teams constantly adapt to each other, constantly evolve and all the newer teams are thirsty for recognition and work hard. Also gambit are so consinstently dropping games in "non-important" tournaments for years now so wtf you talking about :D | ||

There are reasons for this, be it ziggs / gragas / etc waveclear, superior lategame team comp or something else like not having enough cc for a dive. Another reason could be that the weaker team is in the lead and they arent good/confident enough to win otherwise. Imo kudos to them for winning the way they can instead of throwing like bottom 5 teams NA notoriously often do. | ||
