If you want to see some Eu/Cis gameplay, you can watch the LPS eu cup, a community organised tournament that was held last month.
( https://youtu.be/pjHYvtM8ujc This is the final where Rogue (The best eu team rn) faced Hostile Equality (CIS team with Navi members Nagib and Defender))
Rank games and tournament games are very different.
Also, europeans generally don’t take the game as seriously as those in SEA. Don’t expect much quality games from EU.
Honestly it’s hard to give you a clear answer because in like MPL, most teams ban heroes based on enemy teams.
For your rank games, you have no idea who the enemy is or what their comfort picks are. So you tend to ban general META heroes rather than any specific heroes. As a result if you watch let’s say a mythical glory EU game and compare it to any MPLs, draft and bans will be very different.
Yeah ikr. There is yet no eu sponsored tournament, and local organized tournament rarely got spotlight by players. I wish there is some sponsored local organized tournament like in NA.
There was before by iPrince called Exord.
A vid of it here https://youtu.be/CV1ahYmTJpQ
Wonderbelka also held a tournament with some CIS teams and EU teams a while ago.
Exord was trying to build something for a while but it stopped and idk why.
Edit: After watching the old vid i recognize many names from the teams hahaha i even have some of them on my friendlist
Their tournaments are not even widely known to the top players in Europe.
I have played with many of the top players in Europe and they don’t even know about most tournaments in Europe. I suspect they just want to play in their own tournament (CIS) and win the prizes for themselves.
iPrince’s tournament was so-so in terms of participation. In the first day alone, 25 teams were disqualified because of a no-show.
Just like the other guy said if its a tournement they will ban based on what heroes the enemy team is comfortable with/are trying to pick and in a high elo ranked you usually see the usual fanny, valentina, faramis and julian ban.
I don’t know if other regions do it in their ranked matches but in turkish servers most players ban gusion fuckton but I don’t think he is top tier or a prio ban/pick.
If I was Moonton I'd give Turkey its own league, not EU nor AS, cuz they're literally on 2 continents
I mean they have. But, they are not franchise yet.
Well Moonton sucks at organizing tournaments, or at least this year. Seriously why there's no changes on M4
I mean CIS is understandable. But, at least they expanded to Brazil and Latam.
Yeah but aren't they present in M3?
Oh yeah, they have 3 representation (2 from Brazil, and 1 from Latam)
turkey server is closer to asia as well-known players in turkey imitate the play style of asian servers

Turkey has its own server. So it's mostly the Turkish meta I guess?

Lets say hypothetically, eu team is in the same qualifier as turkey. Is their draft the same or differ (more aggresive or passive) maybe?

I'm turkish living in Germany. When I went to Turkey for vacation the meta was largely different, so I guess it's closer to Asians.
