Don't give a **** if HSGG is the owner of CL Gaming, everyone knows he is just an awful player and should not be on the team. They say their goal is to get into late game so jiji and doublelift can carry...of course that's their ****ing goal, get hotshot out of laning as soon as possible so he'll stop doing nothing...Here is the problem with the NA scene, the teams are terrible because of certain people on the teams, think about it. Take TSM, CLGNA, Curse, and Dignitas for examples. Line up all 20+ players and shoot Regi Chaox Dyrus Oddone Hotshot jiji chauster nyjacky saint westrice elementz patoy cop scarra crumbzz (shoot him twice to be safe) Qtpie and whoever the **** their support it (muffinqt?).
Basically you're left with Xpecial, doublelift, voyboy, IWdominate, and scarra (he is fat and lived through the shooting). There is your one and only one team that could even possibly come close to calling themselves a true team. Also note the NA Mid Lane scene is terrible and you have to use a guy who got shot because hes all you have.
So yea, the NA scene as a whole is terrible because no one here is as good as other players from other countries which is the exact trend it has always been for any game (except melee...).
Take any korean team, even the lesser known ones that are still insanely good, and mix and match the players, the end result is still the exact same as it was before the switches. NA scene is going to disappear faster than Scarra's 7-11 Big Gulp if people don't step up and start making new teams with new players and practicing.
Rainman was 100% correct, and I'll admit I thought he was going a little nuts when he said Solo queue is more important than ranked 5s but just consider it...If you were building a team of players would you want someone who is a team player or who makes plays for the team? As my soccer coach once said, you can't teach someone how to be a faster runner but you can teach them all the footwork needed to become a great soccer player. Likewise, you can't be a pro league player unless you know how to think quickly before you start playing. Sure, Crumbzz might know how to do everything a pro does and it has gotten him away with doing the bare minimum for awhile but soon enough all of these asain and euro teams are going to figure out these small tricks (in fact they are already doing this) and just blow all the US players out of the water. Imagine League as a 26 mile marathon. The Americans win for miles because no one else competing has learned how to run, but are rather crawling on four legs because it's all they know how to do. Once they look up they are all like, "Oh **** that is a much better way to move". So now the Koreans stand up and start running and they are behind so they need to learn how to run even faster, so they do, because it is the only way for them to actually catch up. Now all of the sudden at the 15 mile mark you see these Americans who at this point are pretty much just fast walking and HOLY **** here come these ****ing Koreans at like cheeta speed and now the American Fatasses are like wtffffff and everyone watching is like wtffffff and the Koreans are like wtffffff is wrong with these Americans...So the Americans start running again, toss their remaining Twix candy bars on the ground and gallop back to the pace they were at before they started walking. It takes a while to sink in but they eventually realize the reality of the situation. Not only did they never consider losing the race at their pace, they actually slowed down because they thought it wouldn't affect their individual placements. Sure the one American might walk a tad faster than the other just to ensure his slim victory, but once again he was satisfied with doing the bare minimum to win. So yea...the Americans obviously lose the race and the rest is history.
TL/DR Americans are fat****s and are just not as good at League as anyone else right now and they need to work on individual skill before they think about joining another tournament and humiliate themselves.
