My problem with this whole NA v EU thing is the general consensus people put on their continents best teams. Last year the ability of Europeans to play TF2 was questioned by complete shitters with zero understanding of the game because their best team was better than Europe's best team. For some reason this seemed to translate to people that because Mix^ and LG were so good that Intermediate was so much superior to division one, or that this level of TF2 was superior to that...etc etc.
All i49 proves is the best team in the world is Epsilon, it doesn't mean that Low Prem teams would shit on Low Invite teams, or that ETF2L Division Six is superior to UGC Iron or whatever. I think people need to be a little less egotistical about this whole continent v continent thing, yes it is great hype and I too love to banter with my American friends about it but you can't dismiss an entire continent of great players just because their best team was beaten by our best two teams in three close maps.

I never really got the whole nationalism thing, it's just where I live.. I'm not going to support <random thing unrelated to national affairs such as national legislation> simply because the random thing happens to be from the same country as I am. I don't have that with the continent I'm from either.
I thought the trash talk coming from *some* Americans over the course of last year was just a result of a more nationalistic culture, but I guess I should accept that it's just as bad in this continent.
I liked watching matches from HRG, broder and iM. I didn't particularly care where they were from, I just liked how they played and enjoyed seeing their matches. Don't really care who won either.

A healthy rivalry between groups is a good thing.

I want there to be more shit talking (or even more positive discussions) between the continents. It maintains hype and makes questions want to be answered. If no one cares, we won't get funding for future events and I personally want to see this tournament happen again, either on the same scale or even greater!

Well, like Arx and Not_Matlock have already said, if an competitive sport grows (online or irl) its a usual thing to happen, that the fanbases of two rivaling groups tend to fight/shittalk each other.
For me this is just a positive sign, which shows that the competitive scene is growing more & more and that you have just to get used to this kind of attitude, because with the arrival of newer fans you are not able to stop the shittalk at all.
