1. I don't see a point in making an empty post without your own content in it. You could have just waited and make a more constructive post.

2. There is no clear answer to this I think. In the beginning of WoW all the first kills went to the Americans of course because they had the game much earlier. Then we saw a long head to head run between Death & Taxes and Nihilum with some occasional other US / EU guilds stealing some world firsts during progress.

If you just look at the LK25HC then yes, US is quite far off. Europeans (incl. French), Koreans and Chinese are a head of the first US guild Premonition. Maybe they are lacking the dedicated players in the US right now. Maybe it is too hard to get enough people from the right time zones. Also some guilds might have been struggling with attendance due to players being burned out after countless tries.

Every guild will probably individual reasons why they could not progress faster and one that goes for all / or most was probably, that there were just not good enough.

here is my comment:

Its a complex answer here is my opinion:

#1. health - free GMO, MSG or excitotoxins foods in Scandinavian countries
#2. Education
#3. Social factor

i will elaborate more after i will see some comments about it. i'm very curious what you guys think about.

Please elaborate on "social factor". I also do not see nutrition as a giant aspect. There are enough unhealthy gamers among European top guilds. Education.... also can't see that much. Intelligence in a game doesn't have to be related to educational results.

Health:

As you all know MSG, GMO and excitotoxins (aspartame, nutrasweet etc etc) are used in US in allmost any food. soft drinks etc etc

All those chemicals have a bad influence on the human brain destroying the nervous systems. This is more dramatically in pregnanat womans and having a devastating impact on the fetus 4 times more. Bottom line is, by eating foods with those ingredients. this over time will create a population that is mentally impaired.

So, scandinavia and in general EU have a more healthy population with a higher IQ because you will not find those chemicals in your daily food.

If you dont believe what i say try and research about MSG Aspartame, before you post and answer. TY

I did not question whether what you said was true but I question that it has an actual influence in the answer to the question: Why are most top guilds from the EU and not the US?

And I repeat my point: Eventhough the food in Europe might be on a better and higher level I do still not think that the influence some of the ingredients can have on the body is a reason why the US is not having any other top guilds. Following that argumentation the US would also have no other good gamers, to stay in that specific field of activity. If you follow the current GamesCon you'll see an one American each in tomorrows StarCraft II and Quake Live final.

So again: I don't doubt the influence of certain chemicals on the human body, but I won't take it as a proper influential argument to the question at hand.

Don't get snippy and shortfused but respect other peoples opinion. TY.

i respect you opinion

[killzonia]

Europe is an entire continent, the US is a country.

[meth]

Europe is an entire continent, the US is a country.

And your argument is what?

[killzonia]

The population of the US is roughly 310 million people, the population of Europe is approx. 730 million. With an increased number of people comes an increased chance of a particular country/continent having the best guilds.

Feel kinda dumb for not posting that beforehand :P.
