I feel SO dumb right now 😭

I was watching a counterstrike video (I don’t play CS) and the youtuber said “…who is one of the best North America players…” while a statistics page showed kill/death, win/loss, etc. But it also showed “NA”. This along with the verbal “North America” was enough for the very lazy neurons in my brain finally make a basic connection that those two things are connected. I always assumed it just meant “somewhere we don’t have an abbreviation for” or “location private” or something.

    Also very lazy is when these gaming commentators say EU instead of Europe, which are definitely not the same thing.

          Are there any? I’m Swiss and only a few Norwegians came to mind 😀 Like rain in CS and TheViper in AoE although I think TheViper lives in Germany now.

          Ah wait actually good hint regarding Kosovo. I think DauT is Serbian. (To be clear I’m not saying Kosovo is Serbia, it just made me think about the region.)

            I don’t know tbh I just wanted to expand the list of countries which are European and not EU a bit more. Serbia is a separate country also fitting those criteria of course
