NA has a smaller player base than other major regions.

PC is less popular than console & less affordable / accessible in NA.

Unless NA has a way better coaching / amateur system than you can't expect better performance than the other regions.

Incredibly difficult to solve!

PC Bang culture in some areas solves the issue of accessibility but it's just not a thing in America for the most part.

In China there are so many players you basically are just trying out all new ppl who are high ranking in challenger for LDL or scouting teams etc!

Continuing to ramp up investment in amateur & looking to smaller regions to import promising young players instead of veterans from major regions would likely help the region a lot.

Giving talented young minor region players resources / support to grow should pay dividends!
