No 3rd party league as far as I know, but NA challengers is gonna work like a league with several weeks of round robin-type play.

That's true , EMEA will have several regional leagues, one super league (top teams will compete), and big Red Bull tournament. When NA beside VCT events, nothing more

no they definitely do, they have an environment in which there is a lot more practice to help the smaller teams really find what things they need to improve on. These frequest tournaments also help the stronger teams cuase they can maintain adapt and fine tune their strategies, so all in all they do have a better environment for competitive and its no wonder NA performed so poorly seeing as they havent played a tourney in ages and EU just finished the redbull cup

EMEA is like 3x bigger than NA as far as size, having independent leagues might be just because of that and might not mean it’s a healthier pro scene. Also pro salaries are generally higher in NA, it all depends on what you mean by healthy.

no im pretty sure that any definition of healthy would still be in favour of EU, cause even in terms of salary eu players still get a sizeable amount. Though most likely you would define the health of a scene by its support as well as competition and i would definitely say that EU rn definitely has more of that

It’s easier for europe just due to ping situations as europe being a smaller continent. Someone from NA who is west coast queuing or playing against a central team will get 60 or higher ping as the others will get 20.

The leagues could also be by state/province or by general region.

There is simply not enough players for it be based on state province. West coast immortal/radiant queues are dead. Everyone plays central. As a Canadian myself I don’t think there is even enough Canadians for a league to be created for just Canada. More people live in California than our entire country lol.

NA is just too big to have leagues. You have 3-4 regions and a few teams qualify for each region for
Playoffs but then how do they play each other on fair terms? A central team will get like 20 ping to a server where west coast people will get 60.

could be by state that wouldnt be a problem, a league doesnt need to be by nation/country
