EU fans add salt to the wound as Team Liquid ends EU vs NA debate at Valorant Champions 2021
Europe Vs North America (EU vs NA) has got to be one of the oldest rivalries in the Esports industry, especially in the FPS titles. The competition has passed down from one era of players to another and even fans. Heating up in the Counter-Strike pro-play scenario, it has also made its way to Valorant.

Following Cloud9’s well-fought 2-0 defeat to Team Liquid, fans did not hold back from rubbing it in NA’s face. One such individual had quite an interesting take on what NA stands for.
Another fan explained his thoughts in a brief tweet that took a turn quicker than expected.
As a European I was always confused by Americans. What was weird for me is that they like bragging about freedom, I dont think that I have any less freedom than them. I always thought 'What is the difference'. However after VCT I finally understand it. NA is just so fucking free.

One fan even mentioned how a lot of NA-based Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players made the switch to Valorant after its launch, making NA’s professional CS: GO scene non-existent.
