well the meta is bull****. This has nothing to do with NA or EU. If you think it's not bs then you are probably part of those who run away the entire round to pick javs back and kick throw. Wow, epic meta. The NA people you are talking about are only talking to the RM tryhards who made excuses for leaving the NA tourney. Yes it's true they had ping, but they knew from the start they had ping. They were winning and had 0 complaints, but suddenly when they lost, they weren't able to do kickthrows. Surprising how the ping affect your gameplay differently if you are winning or losing.
