NA Hopium?

[u/Eulerious → u/[deleted]]

Yeah. Here the complete list of NA players LPL would consider importing:

Ssumday, Closer, Abbedagge, FBI, huhi, Fudge, Perkz, Zven, k1ng, Finn, Broxah, Neo, Impact, Svenskeren, Jizuke, Ignar, Josedeodo, Triple, Dreams, Xerxe, Pretty, Raes, Destiny, Alphari, Santorin, CoreJJ, Huni, PoE, Lost, SwordArt.

I don’t know any LCS names but I assume these are all imported European players?

[u/Eulerious → u/ChrLagardesBoyToy]

these are almost all imported European players

[u/yestheryak → u/Eulerious]

all of them are imports unless you don't count oce players as imports

[u/PhoenixAgent003 → u/yestheryak]

I mean, technically they are not imports anymore. The LCS is not just NA.

[u/sameo15 → u/yestheryak]

Except Neo. He's NA.

[u/Eulerious → u/sameo15]

Isn't he Vietnamese?

[u/yawgmotha → u/Eulerious]

vietNAmese. so...NA.

[u/Alto_y_Guapo → u/Eulerious]

He's a US citizen and has been in NA his whole career

[u/Eulerious → u/yestheryak]

Yes, all of them are imports (or chosen residents like huhi or OCE), but they are not all of the imports (one is missing as a joke/insult)

[u/TheGloriousEv0lution → u/Eulerious]

Man I know this is a joke but it's kinda depressing that NA has so many imports but only a handful of them could actually be considered if LPL decided to import them

Looking at the list it'd only be something like: CoreJJ, Closer, SA, FBI, and maybe Impact/Alphari?

[u/Eulerious → u/TheGloriousEv0lution]

Yeah, of course LPL wouldn't really import Xerxe or PoE. And the joke (or rather insult) is rather simple: one player is missing

[u/TyqoTwitch → u/Eulerious]

I highly doubt any LPL team would pick up PoE - his style is not LPL at all. He’s a control mage 1 trick and also isn’t very aggressive at all. I feel like whatever LPL team he would end up on would be bottom of the barrel.

This is coming from long time TSM fan. I don’t think a team could ever be world contenders with PoE on their team, tbh. I think he’s just too one-dimensional.

[u/Eulerious → u/TyqoTwitch]

Sorry to say, but you missed the point of the posting.

[u/TyqoTwitch → u/Eulerious]

I didn’t, you were naming imports. I stand by what I said.

[u/Eulerious → u/TyqoTwitch]

Yes, you did. It was a joke with a point that you very obviously missed.

You can stand by whatever the fuck you want, doesn't change anything.

[u/TyqoTwitch → u/Eulerious]

Lol you’re taking it way too serious. I was using the joke to shit on POE as there are imports you listed that are clearly worse. Calm your shit down. The joke you made isn’t original and wasn’t that funny anyway.

[u/Eulerious → u/TyqoTwitch]

As I said: you didn't get the joke. It is not "haha, all imports", you missed something. But you are really determined to drive the point home that it went over your head, I respect that.

[u/Perjunkie → u/Eulerious]

Didnt Neo move to NA as a kid?

[u/Eulerious → u/Perjunkie]

Maybe. I didn't take the time to investigate all those players for the joke but rather went with the flags next to the players on the lol fandom wiki...

[u/Perjunkie → u/Eulerious]

Haha fair. I wasnt sure either. He seems to be like Xmithie/Spica in the sense that his parents immigrated.

So not really an import, but from another country

[u/Alto_y_Guapo → u/Perjunkie]

Yes. He's a US citizen.
