With LAN event I meant these weekend-long tournaments, not longer leagues like GSL or NASL. I dunno how else to put it, so I just call them LAN events. Obviously the EU runs deeper. For cultural reasons and practical reasons (more countries to draw players from). But the top pros of EU and NA are no better than each other. It's silly the way people try to draw a correlation between place of birth and skill level. EU and NA top pros are both in the same boat being inferior to Koreans. | ||

In EU right now it is basically ESL (IEM events specifically) and DreamHack that get hype and are something that the world looks at. But... Assembly has been good and is getting better and better - A lot better than last time! And regarding the pro scene USA is not as dominant as they could be. Sweden (a country with 9.3M people) probably have as many (maybe even more) successful pro gamers. | ||

You can't measure attention by Teamliquid only. Teamliquid is english-speaking, therefore its of course mostly US-based (with a very big country as well). There are other communities, especially in Germany. Just look how many viewers german streamers like Khaldor, Take and HomerJ get. And there are german starcraft-sites like mystarcraft.de, and I bet they exist in other communities as well (esp. french, russian). | ||
