You are wrong with international teams Faze was top 5 a long time. Also, navi with Zeus was an International team even Ukraine and Russia are neighbours it is an international team. GL with learning German. You will go through a nightmare

NaVi is no international team in the sense they are talking. Its about communication. All the NaVi members could speak their native language and they understand each other (props to GuardiaN). In Faze they all speak english, which is noones native language.
