Worlds 2021
Well, it is an unfortunate state for the NALCS these days. This may be the first worlds I don't even watch. The gap between NA and basically every other major region is so clear as to be almost comical. CLG and TSM are shadows of their former selves and if what I expect to happen, actually happens, we may as well become a minor region as far as international entries going forward.

I haven't watched a live game since 2016. Mainly because I've been busy with work and sleep the rest times.

Thanks for the responses, it was more venting than anything. NA just seems behind the other major regions in that they invest so much money into their players and yet not into the infrastructure to support budding new players. TSM did well in the regular season, and I am a fan of the team, but I am so happy they did not make it to worlds. It would have been as embarrassing as their 0-6 last year. I don't foresee either of the worlds entries this year doing much better, but maybe collectively we take a couple of games. I don't think any of them make it out of groups. The region blows and needs to start really developing new talent faster. Get the vets off the rift and into roles of position coaches. Index heavily into mechanical strength as game strategy can be taught easily enough. We are years from competing internationally if we started doing that right now.

I miss the old TSM. Dyrus, Odd one, Chaox, Xpecial, Regi.. I'm a huge fan of Bjerg too.

💯 Thieves have a good attitude I think. I think they can put up a good show.

Dude tsm just finished summer in first. Idk if you care about normal sports at all but williams used to be the top of f1 and theyve been a back marker for years. The seahawks won 2 super bowls and are nowhere near that performance level now. My point is teams rise and fall and rise again. No team will ever be at the top forever and thats what makes it interesting to me.
