<div class="IPBDescription">Am I missing something?</div>Seems like there really hasn't been many ... if any at all ... new N. American teams getting in the mix. Or am I just missing it. ENSL has like 25 EU teams, and only 6 or 7 Americans teams, and I think only one is newish.

Whats the deal north americans, pick it up

    And how many EU teams are there?

    As far as NA...I just mean there are not as many teams popping up as I would expect.

    There are so many clans because they see many active EU clans. As soon as americans become more active (in number of clans) there'll be more clans too :)

    All the serious NS1 NA comp players that I know have pretty much already given up on the game for the time being due to the performance and lack of depth, and as we have seen there doesn't appear to be much interest from newcomers for a NA comp scene and then realistically half of the new teams will die within their first two or three matches.

    ScM is a new NA team looking to help to expand the NA competitive scene.

    There are plenty of active NA participating in ENSL gathers. All it takes is for someone to take some initiative and grab some of the people they have been playing with and say "hey, do you want to make a team and play some scrims / matches".

    It is on us as a community to step up and make it happen.

    This is why all of us that play in a "stable" clan have to give back to the community and help the new teams as much as possible.

    I can only speak for myself, but Mercury wouldnt be here today without the great help from Arc in our early days.

    Apparently that makes you a non-serious NA NS1 comp player.

    Congratulations you found one US comp player who was on a high level team, I think there are actually two if you want to count exi. Andrew. Both commanders?

    And I don't know TheAdj anyway so he doesn't really count in my statement.
