This is half-true depending on how you look at it. In terms of individual skill, NA has plenty. It's teamwork where NA fails, and largely because there just aren't enough competitive NA teams. This is pretty apparent if you pay better attention to the fight between Team USA and 55 Dragons. Team USA could win fights, but R55 absolutely kitten on them rotation and tactics wise, so they always ended up ahead on nodes. I wouldn't say they got "flattened", as that would imply R55 was just spawn camping them to death. More like they just got outplayed and outrotated since Sind and Obi have a good enough understanding of their role in the team to make sure any death R55 suffered ended up not mattering as they would always either pick up free nodes or troll another.Lets also not forget that one team had played with each other for years and the other mainly scrimmed against the same team over and over. ppl rly do seem to not realize the Mota was decided on comp more than skill/rotations/strategy. everyone agrees its pretty clear, although obviously r55 doesn't wanna admit as easily ppl do realize it was pure outplay on every level both skill/rotations/strategy wise. if it makes you feel good for playing this game nonstop for 8 years thats cool dude

it's unbelievable to me how you literally took 30 minutes to explain smash history to me when I have thousands of hours in the game. I go to multiple locals every week. I watch every top tournament both melee and ultimate, singles and doubles. the competitive scene is 90% 1v1, 10% doubles as a fucking side event that no one actually practicing for. almost every doubles team that wins is just a couple really good singles players who showed up the day of without any communication except "wanna do dubs?"

Fortnite Super Smash Bros anything that is even close to what gw2 is?fortnite is a joke and super smash bros is 1v1 game. lol what Both of those games might actually be the top 2 most successful pvp video game titles that the world has ever seen. Both use individual stat systems along with trackers for general win/loss rate. The psychological theory behind these games is that "the players always feel like they are winning even if they are losing" which is what I was explaining in the OP post, about what GW2 ranked is missing. Go watch some youtube videos about it, there are plenty that explain why those two game titles have been successful on unprecedented levels. And if you think Smash Bros is a 1v1 game, well I guess this discussion is over before it began.i play smash competitively and doubles barely counts. its 90% of the time 1v1. what are you even talking about?
