You cant be serious, They just won a league twice where every week 100k-200k tune in to watch them. Thats like saying the english premier league doesnt mean shit, cause they get owned in the CL by spanish teams or Bayern Munich. Ridicolous statement.

saying clg/tsm (especially clg lol) might be better than fnatic but conveniently leaving c9 out of the equation because fnatic has a winning record over 3 bo3's over them, nice!
TSM and CLG are both playing well in the US LCS atm and we have little to no head to head matches between them and fnatic so yes I agree with Cheep on this.

This is true. The one thing that TSM fans have over FNC fans is that TSM fans aren't delude dinto thinking TSM > Korea lol.

Not anymore. That might have something to do with being like 0-15 against them though

Look at last worlds OMG literally trollpicked and stomped lemondogs top 2 eu team.
Who cares about regional competition if it's not OGN/LPL.
Thing is just that in whole West there are two teams - Fnatic and Gambit who proved that they won't choke against everything international against them. C9 were eliminated by Fnatic 3 times in international competition from 3.
Neo-TSM and Neo-CLG with Regi and Monte as coaches will perform i assume, probably Alliance also because of amount of raw talent in team, C9 will just stay as regional kings and choke every time.
But both LCSes are so weak that there is no hope to develop teams to fight Koreans/Chinese teams.

He was specifically talking about meaningfullness and results. It is complete nonsense from wherever you look at it. Cant believe I am even answering to this.

Neither are fnatic fans, your hate for the LCS teams is just probably just too strong so that you think they are.

I think on paper Alliance and Neo-CLG both look really strong. TSM has just disappointed me too many times in internationals so even though I'll root for them, I've lost a bit too much faith.

Even LPL competition is shit now. LPL stagnated/regressed compared to last season, and OMG is once again the only team to even be close to being competitive. The top tier of LPL can probalby beat the top tier of LCS pretty convincingly, but the mid tier of LPL is very lackluster.
LPL structure is currently:
Top:
S - OMG
A- - EDG
Mid:
B+ - LGD
B - WE
Low:
C- - EP.HK, iG
D- - Royal
F - PE
EDG has so many glaring weaknesses that are just painful to see, so we don't even need to look at anyone else.
OGN only thing that matters.

Meaningful in terms of assessing teams based on how good they are. Winning LCS is meaningless if you want to compete with OGN teams.

I've given up hope for the NA scene to catch up, but I think EU scene can stay relevant

I think Fnatic could make Ro8 with an easy group draw. Against like Falcons, IM #1, and like Midas FiO

LCS is no better in case of difference between top and mid/bot.
Thing is just in NA people actually care about regular season, in EU they don't.
But agreed.

I feel TSM would be in a better position if Dyrus didn't choke every single time he plays in international competitions. Until he/they get over it I doubt it even matters how well they are playing before the event.

Probably man, but I'm sure there are just as many tsm fans that think they can go head to head with the top of ogn teams even with their 0-17 record or sth.
Both camps probably only watch LCS and no ogn games.

Over the top fanboys are dumb, just gotta tune out the noise. Kinda like how people hate Ohio State for their fans.
