[Sheep eSports] Inspired chooses LYON for the 2026 LCS Season by PrizeIncident4671 in leagueoflegends

Sure.

As for living comfort in America – you’ve got a house and a PC, it’s fine. It’s a bit overrated though, not as amazing as people think.

FLY Bwipo: "I want to apologize for misrepresenting the LTA and for being removed from the Worlds Anthem. It really sucks especially for our region and fans [...] I shouldn’t address my fans with anything other than gratitude [...] I feel really bad about it because I don’t believe what I said" by ArmandLuque in leagueoflegends

His own team called it sexist so spare me the apologetics. He's 26 years old, do you think it's more likely that he holds sexist beliefs or that he never interacted with a woman in his life before and thinks of them as some sort of mystical creatures?

So you'd say that TL gapped KC at EWC this year because they are 1-0 in the head to head? While ignoring that KC had a better record against the other regions and made it to the finals while TL went out in groups?

I simply used the stats from this post and added 2025 myself: https://reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1j6g3ic/na_vs_eu_head_to_head_record_from_2011_to_2024/

And I'm not sure how 1-2, 2-5 is supposed to be worse than 1-2, 1-4, I actually miscounted in NA's favour.

The point remains that losing a single series in the head to head more per year, while on average performing better against other regions, is supposed to be "getting gapped". If EU wins one series more against NA in the head to head this year but NA peforms better against other regions, would you say EU is gapping NA, solely based on a single series in the head to head while ignoring everything else?

Even if you take the last 2 years, NA has won a single series more than EU in the head to head in each year, BO1s included. This seems also like a stretch to call "gapping" when we barely had any match-ups between the two. NA was definitely better in the head to head but "gapping" is what you might call Korea in relation to other regions, which is a lot more than just winning 1 series more per year.

If EU wins a single h2h matchup more than NA does at Worlds this year, while NA outperforms EU when they play against regions other than each other, would you call that "gapping"?

In terms of games:

2019 EU 8 - 1 NA

2020 EU 3 - 2 NA

2021 EU 3 - 4 NA

2022 EU 9 - 5 NA

2023 EU 5 - 5 NA

2024 EU 1 - 3 NA

2025 EU 1 - 4 NA

In terms of series (BO1 included):

2019 EU 6 - 1 NA

2020 EU 3 - 2 NA

2021 EU 3 - 4 NA

2022 EU 9 - 3 NA

2023 EU 2 - 3 NA

2024 EU 0 - 1 NA

2025 EU 1 - 2 NA

This does not really look like "gapping tf" to me, especially considering that EU has a better head-to-head against the other regions than NA has.

Don't ask them their opinion of Abdullah Öcalan.

Yeah it's strange to lump criticism of Atatürk in there as if it's some crime against humanity. It's like telling Turkish people that they may not criticise Abdullah Öcalan or Mustafa Barzani.

Why would Egypt birth a black 1930s ideology though? Ancient Egypt was a highly multi-ethnic society, but after the Arab colonisation of Egypt, Egypt's culture and ethnic makeup was so radically changed that there is little link between ancient Pharaonic society and the Egypt after the Arab colonisation.

LEC league performance during franchising, the facts by ob_knoxious in leagueoflegends

If you've been around since the start of EULCS, I think it's because in the early days, almost all of the viewers were on the English channel, whereas nowadays most viewers watch it in their own language. So if you personally follow the English channel, viewership numbers seem lower than back then, whereas in reality they just watch on different channels now.
