To be honest, it seems like a recurring trend that Europe > USA in esports. Just googling counter strike rankings brings up http://www.gotfrag.com/cs/rankings/ . Europe was certainly stronger than USA in WarCraft 3. It's no surprise that Europe has more top players in StarCraft 2 as well. It's been pretty brutally obvious that NA players have had a hard time competing in the teamliquid open qualifiers to the point that the casters are making a big deal of "all significant european players attending assembly". The question is, what do you want to say with all that? Or rather, why could this be? Let's just go with the most obvious answer: european kids probably spend more time playing their games. It should be that simple. Not very interesting. | ||

Beneath that certain level it's just even, or just not important. | ||

These numbers are quite useless. The accounts have differents amounts of games at first. Then the na acc by select is as example by far younger. So he looses less games through a learning process at the start and had quite a few "freewins" in the eu. And you need too consider when he plays... for example if select plays only at night for europeans most likely the top players are sleeping.^^ | ||

I'm from EU, but most of my favorite players have origins in the NA server - KiwiKaki, Huk, InControl, IdrA, Day[9], Arthritis, Tasteless, djWheat, miniWheat, qxc, Machine and CatZ, just to name a few. EU players might be better, in some cases, but the names that stand out for me from the EU region are ... TLO, Jinro, Haypro, Ret, DeMuslim, Mondragon and Grubby. And I'm really struggling to figure out more names that I really enjoy watching. Yes, of course, there are Nama, Mana, Mama and Sjow, but ... they're not exactly that sort of attention grabbers as most of the NA players. So which server is better ? Who cares really ? Both are behind the Korean. Did you mean  Artosis? | ||
