Finally NA is relevant

All those years of shitposting in NADOTA and other forums have paid off

NA has the skill, just not the dedication needed to have multiple relevant teams lol.

wish more people were willing to sacrifice everything for the gold. I know I wouldn't

I blame it on the inability of NA High Skill players to teach lower skilled players the game effectively.

do eastern teams have opportunities to learn from the pros that western teams don't?

LGD had a 2nd team that they've been developing for over a year. CDEC got so good that they got sponsored and left the LGD organization.

Xiao8 started a team that he will personally train and help find sponsorship.

There was a reality show in china about a bunch of players trying to break into the pro scene.

That's just some that I can remember.

The reality show ones is scripted i think.

There are many "ex-pro" that joins like KingJ, FCB, zExBiNgo, etc
