This past weekend, North America kind of screwed up.
You know what’s funny about that? We could be talking about almost any esport and we’d be right.
But there is a difference this time. North American teams went a combined 5 and 13 in the League of Legends World Championship group stage, and that is the worst they’ve ever done under the modern Worlds system.
It’s an absolute catastrophe, and it’s got a lot of people asking: How do we fix the dumpster fire that is NA League of Legends?

Hey guys, as you've probably noticed by now, whenever we mention NA playing Bo3s in playoffs and internationally, we actually mean Bo5s. Cheers!
I mean they lost to G2 at 1-2. So G2 almost didnt advance it was some close games between them. Either way NA definitely does not field their best players and we dont care about competitive as we realize theres way more money in streaming. This combined with people dont play league as much here, we play fortnite these days and are busy winning those tournies
na's combined record in the group stage looks like my botlane's score at 15
Realistically if NA is going to get better the entire culture towards practice and respecting coaches needs to change. Unfortunately that's a process that will take 10's of years to change. We'll have to hope the next generation of pros is raised differently.
The answer is super clean and the same for every e-sport:
Learn
2
Play
Leave Dev alone!
its real simple send NA to Korea for a full year
see not hard to figure out
handle there plane tickets
and housing
I mean
if you want them to get better
you send them to the wolves to fight it out and figure out what they are doing wrong
"Say something stupid"
Ok boomer
TL was in a group with iG who went onto semi’s and a difficult DAMWON team that they managed to get the best of for a game. The pressure Jensen was under was evident for groups.
C9 was in a group of death.
Clutch wasn’t much of a hope.
It’s not that trash, it’s a strong international scene. Sometime they will rise from the ashes if the community wasn’t so fucking toxic and full of Chinese bandwagoners. Let’s support our players and believe in them.
start by picking kids that are really from n.a stop paying for chinese or korean kid the language barrier and stuff sure doesnt help
At least NA is the top region in COD
To be honest NA is just a den of favoritism and "legacy". Like Locodoco and Reginald are toxic and worthless. Why are they even allowed in esports?
NA are not hungry as other country because in their countries it’s the only way to get a job by being very good at gaming. So they give everything they got unlike in NA there are so many jobs you can apply and it boggles me how many people are homeless in america.
how come the depth of field is so shallow? feels like a floating head lads
whats sucks is that the ping thing and new server seems really pointless when there are not that many players even on na right now and just gonna create a massive massive long ques for games but also makes it really pointless to start playing league in na when you just get fucked by the ping and its really trash to have to play on higher pings
At least we have the overwatch bois
Honestly dude I feel like the pros don’t take it seriously. They just in it for the money, if NA wanted to be good we could be the best but everyone streams and has a streamer mentality instead of taking the game seriously. It’s honestly embarrassing to see NA eat so much dogshit.
Franchising killed NA LCS.
Riot wants LoL to work/feel like the NBA while ignoring the structure, system, and draw that allows pro basketball to exist.
Well NA in any game ever, really have a history of just playing for fun, and not wanting to actually improve.
Meanwhile EUW soloq makes it so your entire family could be murdered and you’d still not tilt.
“ I could be talking about any esports team and I’ll still be right” stfu you’re so wrong it makes no sense. NA cod is not like that. NA cod is always winning. Any NA team. You piss me off because you sound so ignorant imma report for false info. Change the host please!!!
i mean you are not just asking riot for a new na server so the pros can get better, you are also asking them for a new server for all of the solo q players who want to play on decent ping. we really just need a new server in NA period.
