skill level drops? or changes? in every single game thats been competitive the skill has only increased, new players come and bring something refreshing and different,

cs - sk.swe dominated for 2years, along comes coL brand new players beats them and wins the lan.
css - different teams but same scenario,

yes seasons ago people played different, and that will always be the case stop coming up with the bullshit of skill level drops when in fact it just changes.]]></description>

It showed that unlocks allow players to care more about things other than "constantly doing the same rollouts to perfection". wwwww]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[<i>Quoted from Nmx</i>
		<blockquote>EU tf2 is deed.</blockquote>
Why do people keep saying that? EU TF2 is dying because people keep saying it's dying. People are unwilling to make changes.

1. Prem hasn't changed since eons ago, it's the same players in different teams. It just needs some new blood.
2. The best EU players/teams don't have much competition since prem stays the same. It's exactly the same for HL
3. Powervoid: People are still coming in at div 6 level, but more and more people are leaving TF2 these days in the middle.

So instead of whining how EU lost to the NA, how about we start making some incremental changes and stop bitching about how EU TF2 is dead.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Wow all the keyboard warriors are defending their virtual honor here.
LG and mix^ deserved this so much more over the other teams, purely through the sheer amount of time they spend to stay on that top level of play. It has been said a million times before, but the top EU level has stagnated, no influx of new players getting into it and seemingly no teams willing to take it more seriously and practise like mad.

NA bested EU. Eternalized on youtube and multiplay's site.

Look at how many A's and D's there are in this post, could've been better at airstrafing already.]]></description>

Even the Americans when playing a difference of 5, 30 minute game, were turtling like bosses because they didn't want to risk losing the round.]]></description>
