Reason why NA > EMEA atm

LAN experience. Pretty much all of NA teams in berlin already had many LAN events in their previous games eventhough not many has join big LAN events, they still have alot of events that are held offline. Meanwhile alot of EMEA players are having their first LAN experience in berlin and doesn't have the experience yet

Not really, i feel like NA clutches more often because of that and in first to 13 those clutches have wayyy more impact

I'm not sure that clutches are the problem for EU. From what I've seen of the matches and streams (from both NA and EU players) is that EU lets util do all the work of entrying or taking space while NA follows up better with a combo of util and the entry fragger. Also, teams like gambit always leave it to the last possible second to explode onto site and plant with 4 seconds left and set up a sloppy post-plant (which somehow works, idk gambit does look like a cracked team). I feel that the aggressive playstyle that NA has counters the more passive EU playstyle right now.

That aggresive playstyle i think only sentinels can mantain in the long run because of the sheer firepower they have. I think EU strats are better in the long run, but right now the aggresive are definitely working better

Sentinels are like 80% straight-up aggression which like you say only they can maintain, but if you say that SEN isn't tactical then you are out of your mind. I bring back Gambit into the discussion to say: do you really think that leaving it so close to losing on time is a good strategy? if you can delay that final push or kill the spike carrier then the entire round is lost.

I never said that? I said the aggresive playstyle that NA teams play is worse but that doesn't mean they only do that. Crashies for instance has the craziest sova lineup that i dont think any eu sova have right now

Also navi strats will always prevail

Boomer team has the most LAN experience. There's a chance they can win against SEN.

Sentinels best team itw so i think it's unfair to compare them. 100t and envy are better comparisons of having shaky starts but in second half pulling off clutches out of their ass, i think their previous experiences help them alot in that aspect

Cuz they rescued all of their CS for Valorant. if EU did that then honestly they'll be above NA in Valorant

I think one part of it might be language

Most EU teams are national mixes which tend to have slower comms and a harder time portraying ideas

In CS the best European teams were always national teams

That’s also why I think Gambit is better than most EU teams despite having less experienced players than teams like Liquid
