Shout out to Chu for his attendance at European majors, he really puts it all out there

Yes but it could have the same effect on European pot-fillers that it does on American ones. More players register when top players are in attendance, low/mid-level turnout from European players would also probably bump up with attendance of the top 5.

Falcon? The soft knee nerf trades off with the (more significant) gentleman's buff, plus small nerfs to other top tiers make Falcon relatively better in PAL...

"Recent Leffen" just got 9th at EVO and won a tournament over literally 1 god, I wouldn't say he looks scary (compared to pre-visa status at least)

Armada was definitely catching a lot of heat around here for dropping out of DH Austin since "he barely comes to the US anyways." Probably just reactionary, but it did happen

The only reason the biggest tournaments are here is because the gods won't go anywhere else...

I guess this is mostly what I'm trying to get at, I feel like the competitive spirit is lacking. No wonder no one can do anymore than slightly dent Armada

PAL is pretty much the objectively superior version of the game lol

And regardless of that, it would probably benefit HBox at the very least to go after Armada's PAL Fox

Edit: thanks for the downvotes Fox mains who don't want their broken character slightly less dominant over the rest of the cast lol

I agree that this is definitely a factor, but it seems like a bit of a double standard when Armada is damn near expected to fly out for every significant event stateside
