Do you think you could do two person interviews with players from different teams? I know the DoubleLift Rekkles interview wasn't on purpose but it was extremely fun to watch! Also love your content

Do it for the same language players. Some non-english speakers do understand english so that might work. These interviews show a very different dynamic of players and the teams that is very different from others out there.

The only team NA should be sending to the International stage is the 2-men team: Travis and Brodin. I swear they will make it to the Final in every international tournament. They are truly the only team who can represent NA.

Riot has the same thing, just clearly not executed the same way. Those after match interviews that sjoks does is basically travis hired by riot. However, travis' interviews feel more natural and more relaxed due to the nature of not being employed by riot.

I didn’t have high expectations, I just had expectations. I’m wondering whether the scrims are the problem. We shouldn’t be consistently doing far better in scrims than on stage. Maybe we give up too much information, maybe we get duped by what’s good and what’s not, I don’t know... I’m just tired of seeing our region lose on picks and macro over and over and over

They might have millions but NA still a fucking island, the closest servers to NA are the South American ones and they are way more distant than say the different EU or Asian servers. The continental people there have a major scene advantage as players are concentraded geografically. There's no way NA ever gonna be a top region because it's too small of a portion of players and US is too big of a country

1) Again, you managed to ask about the EU Studios but it seems that no one is willing to comment on the fact that less than 200 people are cheering for the teams. It's funny (or sad) that in MSI we, the viewers, can tell exactly how many people are screaming when something cool happens on game. 2) The last part when you thank Azael for mentioning your name in broadcast seems really important to me. It's sad when casters or analysts don't give you credit for your work. Maybe (f%&*n) rito won't allow them to talk about independent casters, I don't know. I just hope rito thinks it through and realizes that focusing all the content on the inside doesn't help the game or the business.

Don't think that NA organizations have the main things they need to succeed. Those being: a competitive soloque environment and an inspired soloque base. I think this is the biggest factor that is to the detriment of NA doing well. All too often, are the resident players on the team having a misread on the meta, not praticed enough in soloque, or having a resident player who's not competitive at a world class level. These two factors are caused by riot having Cal. be the base of their competition, where ping is 55+ and because the NA player base has diminished from being outcompeted and riot's mismanagement of balance. There might be flukey runs like CLGs 2016 run where all of the player weaknessess are hidden behind certain metas picks even though they had few world class players who were practiced, but the region will never have consistency without these 2 factors being met.

Adam bowen do you know how much ppl play on Taiwan server ? Even if you dont do you think its even close to NA ? Yet is Taiwan a team that you look at thinking they are disappointing like TL ? Meta problems ? They have coachs for that, NA should stop playing the victims and talkies about them not having competitive players when all of NA teams have 1-2 imports, wich mean they have the biggest diversity of players after Korean server

You can see that Khan just isn't that great with tank and Peanut isn't as good with some of the meta picks atm, and the rest never even played that well

America needs to start taking sports more seriously. First of all, get rid of the communist league system. A competition based system is much better for competitive experience. Also they need to fix the American version of Rugby. Get rid of the suit of armour, remove the breaks and force each player to play for the entire match. The current version breeds weaker men with less stamina.
@BadgerUKvideo6 жыл бұрын
and that 2 natives per team rule is absolutely ruining the NA scene. Americans arn't currently smart enough for esports. Get rid of the American players until the US has implemented a system of education.
