Yeps, the scene has been missing this for sure. Last 2 days have been very exciting for me and alot of fun to watch


European scene is the most pleasant to see imo. Sure it does not have the same level of play than Korea, but everything else is best.


NA has the best characters/personalities

No.


It quite clearly does. There are some Europeans with character like White Ra, Stephano and Naniwa. But most EU players are as faceless as any Korean.

NA have always done a brilliant job at marketing the personalities of their players (especially EG obviously).



I don't want to bash NA, just defend EU. There are tons of players here with great personality! Those you mentioned of course, but also Grubby (!!!), Demuslim, Mana, Dimaga, Thorzain, ToD, Snute, TLO, Ret etc.



Most of those players aren't really interesting except Grubby and Demuslim (who's really NA scene anyway). The ability to speak English doesn't make you interesting by default.


So what makes the USA guys more interesting? I would like to hear your opinion.


Because they have more unique personalities, more players who have strong opinions about the game and share them regularly with fans. They also have more big rivalries (Huk vs Idra, Idra vs Minigun, Demuslim vs Violet) where there's more to the game than just the game itself.

Some EU players have this but they're with Koreans (Stephano vs Polt, Naniwa vs Nestea).

There's too many bland nice guys in EU (Thorzain, Grubby etc..) and not enough guys with a bit of an edge to them.


So the interesting people are: 2x Idra, HuK, Minigun, DeMuslim (A European) and Violet (A Korean).

Wow! Really interesting scene man!

Also Incontrol who is by far the most interesting personality in Sc2 and Huk, QXC and Catz. Scarlett is boring in terms of personality but has a great story which is a decent substitute.

That's something noone can argue about.
Any fellow ShoWTimE fans here by the way? Does anyone know what his games vs Tefel are like?

Edit: Oh, the games are on Kalaeris stream.

Yeah that's exactly what I had been missing since Kespa vs Esf, more pointless comparison of scenes. Thank you.

If NA was so interesting blizzard would not have send 20 koreans to get that scene rollin' and just 5 to EU....
