Europe and the United States at the Pioneer Tournament

In the past 15 years, except for the first World Finals and the 2019 MSI won by the European team, the European and American teams have only occasionally performed well in the World Championship in the past ten years and can advance to the finals. For example, the 2016 MSI and the 2018-2019 World Finals were all six years ago. In recent seasons, the most common result seen in Europe and the United States has been the quarterfinals. Not to mention G2, the king of Europe who has drowned in the round of 16 of the group stage for three consecutive years. If the popularity of LPL has declined significantly in the past two years, then Europe and the United States are even worse. However, the merging of wild cards and the integration of the new format has given them a sigh of relief, but it is difficult to revitalize a region without winning the World Championship. It can only be said that G2's victory in the S9 mid-season tournament that year did make Europe a little stronger than North America today. However, being reached the quarterfinals of the World Finals by the North American team for 2 consecutive years made G2 lose face in Europe.

This season, Europe has finally ushered in a new turnaround, G2 has finally been beaten to the throne of the king of the region, and the young and energetic team KC seems to have given many European audiences a little hope. The North American side still seems hopeless, and this year's Vanguard of the Global BP has given them some opportunities. If Europe and the United States, which are more general than traditional operations and conventional BP, and have very general basic skills and competition environment, I am afraid it will be difficult to win a place in the finals dominated by China and South Korea. However, if you want to look at the depth of the hero pool, who has a special hero pool and more black technology, then Europe and the United States are indeed more imaginative competition areas. First Stand Do they really have a chance?

Mercenaries reign king in North America

In 2015, we never imagined that a Korean aid could work in North America for 10 years, but someone did. He is the former T1 first-generation champion top laner Impact, from TI to NRG, then to C9, then to TL, then to EG, then to FLY, and finally back to TL, Impact can be called the emperor of the esports industry. Many people think that Faker makes the most money with five crowns, but it is really better than Impact, which has a 10-year contract with a large contract in the North American LCS, and I am afraid that he is not worthy of his old teammates at all. Mansions, mansions, that's everything.

The success of Impact has also driven many South Korean, and even non-Korean professional players, to go to North America to make money for retirement, of course, there are not many players who can really have the ability and patience to sit in the position of "S Tournament Ticket Guarantee". A large number of mercenaries from South Korea, Europe, Australia, Latin America, etc., have joined, which has also made North America have no local newcomers over the years. After Impact, the closest to him is probably CoreJJ. Coincidentally, both of them are now playing for TL, and the owner of this team in the first two years also opened the all-Korean class mode, if it weren't for the local APA performance too well, the current TL target is probably all Koreans. This year's lineup is 2 naturalized Korean aids, 1 Korean aid who has just played for 2 years, 1 Korean American, plus 1 American.

TL is a team that has no chance of winning the World Championships, and with the same lineup, what level they were last year is what level they are now. The two Korean championship veterans are indeed very experienced, but as a North American team, the overall strength is not strong enough. The only thing to look forward to is APA's hero pool in the global BP. This is a player who can play Bomberman and Dragon King midlaner.

The new king of Europe

KC's Worlds is unknown, and with the exception of Canna and Tartarmas who will be a source of instability for the team, the other three players are worth looking forward to. Jungler Yike has a bit of a taste of taking over the Jankos position, and G2's decision not to keep him during the transfer period last year is now a failure of failures in terms of results. Rookie midlaner Vladi, a player who won the FMVP against Caps in the European finals, and a European local midlaner who will play Yonn in 05. Caliste, a newcomer in the lower lane, is also a player who can play Delevingne, not only can play big cores, but also has a strong C of various functions, and there is a deep hero pool in 06, and the fantasy newcomer double C that KC got this year is indeed the reason why they are kings.

KC On paper, they are very interesting against HLE, TES, TL and CFO. But after all, it was a small world race away from Europe, and it was unclear whether these newcomers would be nervous to the point of being out of class or excited to play beyond the norm when they were competing in an international tournament for the first time. With no data to refer to, KC's strength is a mystery at this year's Pioneer. But at least judging from the fact that they can beat G2 3-0, it's far better than the veteran duo of Caps, BrokenBlade and Hanssama.

NA and EU opener

In general, TL is not worth looking forward to, KC can pay attention to it, especially the opening game of the Pioneer Game is TL vs. KC, this game can see whether KC is the light of Europe in the future, or a short-lived team in the new season and new mode. If KC can't even pass the TL level, then Europe may still come to play with it this year.
