[2021] [FULL] C9 press conference: Mithy says Korean teams have more scrim partners "It will be very hard, long term, for a Western team to do well unless the tournament system changes and we can be able to travel the world so we can have teams learn from, practise against each other for more time."

Based on this year's group stage yes, LPL isn't far better than LEC/LCS.

But remember that LPL/LCK is usually better in BO5s because that's how they run their league (a lot of BO3s). the west instead plays bo1 all years which I believe gives them some advantage in groups.

Counter-point: LEC/LCS play far more bo5s. For example, Cloud9 played more bo5s in this year than GenG did over the last two.

Also missing from this analysis is the MSI championship and two world finals from LEC. Yet this year they generally failed. Is this because their source of scrim partners dried up? Or are we overreacting to one year of results?

The LCS is a consistent weak performer. The LEC is not. Yet they have similar access to CN/KR practice.
