NA's schedule is actually better for me because my ISP doesn't artificially throttle my bandwidth on streaming sites during their matches. :<
I know the NA scene better too because of the streamers I watched back when I did it, and I grew more attached of NA's teams. Even if the overall level is weaker, I could cheer for Marn while I didn't care at all for aAa or DB. The fact that there was more disparity with how Gambit and Fnatic crushed all newcomer teams ('cept Giants hue) made those matches less interesting than stuff like Curse vs GGU as well.
Actually I think with all the rosters changes and overall momentum complexity, Marn and Vulcun probably grew more than Giants/DB/aAa over the course of the season, and with Dig and CLG proving how well they can throw/choke NA is probably going to be tighter at the start of the summer split.

Ugh. Don't forget about Curse's throwing arm. Their's may have been the worst, though their early lead keeps them from the relegation threat. But it does mean that NA will be interesting.
And yeah, I haven't been able to follow EU at all with my focus on NA. All I've done is root for the Wolves because I'm a huge fanboi... AND IT ALL PAID OFF.

It's hilarious how much more dapper his picture looks compared to the rest of the long-haired DBs.

When did hosan get a sex change.

I've no idea if MYM is good or not, but DB certainly doesn't deserve to stay in the LCS.

No, god, please no. Then we have to deal with his smug little face trying to tell Wickd how to play Zed for another season.

They are playing terrible in S3.

If they hadn't pulled those weird lineup changes, they'd probably have done better (though it was reported to be internal issues, and we've seen how getting rid of those benefitted TSM).
Guess MYM will take this 3-1, but then, I thought they'd 2-0 DB the last time they played...

The differance between chaox to wildturtle and spontexx to yamatocannon is that wildturtle is you know, actually good.

The winner deserves to stay in the LCS.

Fair enough... the cruelty of brackets strikes again.

People in here that already discard aTn, SNS etc and cry for SiJ to be included should remember the hype GIANTS got in here after they qualified, and how many people predicted aAa to finish dead last.

GGU went from laughing stocks to finalists so I guess everything is possible. OGN is walking proof of that.

When they qualified with Shiphtur and I Am Anjo, people were pretty happy about their performance iirc, and their week 1 was strong, if not too lucky.

GGU had some early hype because they were ex-TD which was considered to be alongside lgn to be one of the hot upcoming NA teams. Then lgn disbanded leaving GGU to pretty much get all the hype as the upcoming NA team (Chants of MRN MRN MRN aside) then they went what was it 1-9 and everyone wrote them and complexity off.
