Why did NA fail at League of Legends World Championship 2020? | ESPN Esports

1. NA needs to invest on rookies, stop recycling players that cannot performed well in Worlds.

2. This outcome was disappointing but expected. NA needs to improve as do all regions but I feel people want NA to be more then the gatekeeper. I feel TSM failed hard at worlds but I think that was more the lack of quality in NA lower half of teams to practice against.

3. Flyquest is okay for me, TSM is just dogsht in term of mental

4. I think it just comes down to how they play. Next year hopefully they play more aggressive because they got nothing to lose

5. It's been 10 years, some regions simply doesn't deserve 3 seeds year after year after year.

6. Answer: EVERYTHING. Especially their roster.

7. On the bright side, Flyquest did pretty good despite the fact they were placed in the Group of Death.

8. eu was never as bad as NA , and msot definetly not in 2015 when fnc was a world contender lol.

   This is why i dont like watching espn. You''re just pushing a fucking narative

9. I heard they actually have an smaller player base. Is this true?

10. NA is still crushing believing in the "old good stuff" that never was.
    You'll better learn from LEC: no more transfers from Korea, just trust in your own young talent and minor leagues and Academys. Give them the chance. It's time for Doublelifts, CoreyJJ and those kind of players to step back. If not you're going to repeat: choking and choking again.
    From EU perspective NA has become a weak region overepresented at MSI and Worlds at least by perfomance.

11. Bigger question is why is this guy wearing a headband to talk into a webcam

12. Team Liquid still pretty much smashed the wild card teams. We'll see how it goes later but there isn't yet need to give NA only 2 seeds.

13. It's simple that NA problem is entirely TSM, mentally it must be hard being 2nd and 3rd seed and having your number 1# feed so ducking hard. Remove tsm, there could have been a chance all 3 teams could have gotten out. Fly quest beat top Esports.

14. Once NA accepts we are the 4th best region we can start to grow and be better but until then and pride may be downfall

15. If G2 wasn't the most unreliable team in the history of EU then NA probably would've sent one team to knockouts…

16. Tyler: We're still cheering for Bjerg and LiftLift. We've been doing that for 5 years
    Also Tyler: I mean obviously players like Bjerg and Doublelift wills till be able to play

17. TSM literally went full tilt which was disappointing. Flyquest was great but wasn’t enough. TL should have been able to get out. Spoon fed a game by G2 and Machi should have been an easy 2-0. The SN game was one of the few that they played well considering SN are 90% rookies. Don’t get why people praise TL so much when they have 2 world champs, a world finalist, and a world semi finalist that all got shown up by their Rookie adc. I’m a TSM fan and yes it’s embarrassing but they still had the lowest chance to get a win considering NA can usually only get wins against Smaller region teams. Oh well we look forward to next year I guess.

18. Na sucks! 10 years of league of legends and still hasn’t won anything in international event.

19. I actually think NA did decent as a region this round, they were close to having 2 teams out of groups. I had expected NA to not get out of groups but definitely not in such manner. I feel that only TSM's run was disappointing in the sense that they were supposed to be the aggressive team but they just sat back and got smacked around. That gen.g final game makes me want to rip my eyes out.

20. If the players and teams would work half as hard as the LPL teams do, maybe they would have a chance. They're busy in the gym and making up fairytales about stress, etc. They're overpaid. That's why you have to be able to deal with the stress.

21. NA is 4th best region. PepeSad
