TSM moving to EU-West after Kiev!

OddOne made a statement in his AMA that "We're actually planning on moving to EU-W for good after Kiev as we figure there is more competition there in ranked teams than on the NA server."
Competitively this seems like a good move by TSM, even ReginaId said on State of the League they have been doing most of their scrims vs European teams because they take things more seriously, and that the NA teams dont practice enough or offer up enough of a challenge. I am now more curious than ever to see how TSM does in Kiev compared to their last competition. ReginaId also stated he believes his team will win, but what team captain, especially with a mouth as big as Regi's, wouldn't insinuate this. The link to the rest of OddOne's AMA is below.

Well, NA is all about children who abuse broken stuff in pub games as hard as possible. So it is only decent to leave that.

I feel like EU has about the same amount of top top teams, but a lot more top teams than the US has. Since ping is not really an issue from NY this could be a good change for practice. You'll always find non trash teams on the ranked ladder.

Think more teams will move to EUW because its always more fun to play when everybody is on the same area

I don't see this changing much in terms of actual practice. The only difference is that TSM will be able to play some better teams in ranked 5's but they are going to have the same amount of scrims against the top teams so I really don't see the point overall.
