I mean half the NA teams have international talent on it already tho.
Most have only 1 imported player. Unless you mean teams like LG, TS and RNG
Do you know what Canada is? It's mericas tophat and has nice people with bacon.
And yes as an American NA means United State's only
i dont get how you can attribute liquids success to s1mple alone. he hasnt fragged as well on lan against teams that arent clg
s1mple bottom frags at the qualifiers: "what a learning experience"
s1mple frags barely better than elige, hiko, adren against fnatic: (no comment)
s1mple destroys clg: "might as well just rename the team to team s1mple because hes just leagues better than the rest of the team"
its just nrg with 2, liquid with 1, and coL with -1 (hes british)
so it averages at 2/3rds of an imported player per team with imported players

He's been consistently topfragging for Liquid tho, not only against CLG. His only bad showings since joining is the series against C9 at the IBP cup and the game against Hellraisers at the qualifiers. Other than that he's always at the top of the scoreboard
http://www.hltv.org/?pageid=173&playerid=7998&statsfilter=9
In 2016 he has a rating of 1.21 while the second best player on his team has 1.06.
His LAN rating is a bit skewed because one of the two LANs he played this year was by far the worst tournament of his career.
Same story in ESEA.

93 ADR while the second best player on his team has 77.
Massive difference
The only thing keeping s1mple from superstar status are his stupid decisions and careless peeks sometimes. If he can get that under control then he's a star. Also he needs to be the main Awper

Liquid w/ stand in adreN allows him to make dumber decision than tarik and get away with it. He's great but there's a reason he never accomplished anything until playing for Liquid, and there's a reason Liquid with koosta is average at best
People make it sound like he took an open team and made them Top 4.
phantom spiker shot me in the back in deathmatch yesterday so he's actually NA's top talent
according to hltv, the only lans s1mple has attended (**with liquid**) are the qualifier and the major. that means hes played a total of 6 maps on lan (2 at the "fluke bad performance" of the qualifer, 2 in groups, 2 vs clg) of which he has significantly outfragged his teammates in a total of 1, being the stomp against clg. assuming the qualifier was a fluke, he bottom fragged against faze, top fragged by 5 on fnatic, and finally stomped clg.
and im choosing to ignore esea because every time i try and argue that online results matter i get handwaived in this thread
and second on his team is adreN with 1.20, not hiko with 1.07
my bad, read that wrong, in 2016 his rating for lans with liquid is 1.09, while hiko and adren have 1.15 and 1.14 respectively
Wow what a day of CS, Astralis looked so strong against fnatic! Definitely not able to get a Gold Pick 'em now. Liquid with that come back against CLG made for a fairly exciting game to watch. Looking forward to the last quarterfinal game tomorrow with my bet on Luminosity.

matttwood isn't on the CS team atm, so basically if people want communication they better hope some dev like Cliffe shows up on reddit (if he's still on the team that is): https://twitter.com/matttwood/status/716136871022071808
Thought so btw, he hasn't talked much about CS for a while now.

He was hilarious for the first 5 rounds. Now I hate him with passion

Taco beasted those two last rounds, and that double kill to finish the game was beautiful.
Hope we get Astralis LG final.

I met Mikaelele and got a picture with him.
Only NiP members I got signatures of are Mikaelele and Fifflren. Good enough
Really good I meet F0rest and GeT_RiGhT as well.

That's kind of dangerous if you can hear someone that clearly on stream. He could say whatever he wanted in Russian and the venue would have no clue.
Prepare for disappointment like me.
