Let´s cross fingers that YapzOr will fully recover, but for Secret´s chances to make it to TI, same is a serious hit. Puppey´s all-time attending spree is really in danger this year.

The interview with Kuro gave a little insight when Sheever asked him how are scrims against Div I - Teams are going and he smiled and said "you can ask them". Really looks like the addition of Suma1l was what this team needed for a revamp, a player who has the confidence and is able to turn a winning lane into effective rotations while keeping on par with the networth and not falling off in the late game with a good decision making. Any EU-Team should try their very utmost to secure enough points for a TI-invite, the qualifiers are going to be a bloodbath. That's great haha, yeah it's cool to see Nigma back in form | ||

Yeah hope yap is alright, really sucks for secret If secret win game 3 vs gaiman they still have hope for the major because their last series is vs goonsquad and liquid/entity play each other. They can at worst force tie breakers with two wins, and if they get lucky, straight up qualify (I believe) for the major. That said, I think they need to show a huge improvement to do well at the major or qualify for TI at this point. | ||

Nishas back must be hurting like hell after that series, that Timber-game was the best one Ive seen since w33 played it a few years ago against the old Liquid-squad. Gaimin Gladiators close to be relegated or have to play at least a series for thei survival at Div I. Most likely they will qualify to TI considering their good result at Stockholm, but what a downfall. | ||

56:51, 52min game! Completely crazy map 2! Thanks to the "South American Commentators" to jump into the breach of a power outtake at the Dreamleague studio! | ||

Game 2 from Nigma vs EU REJECTS was a clownshow with ridiculous picks from Nigma-side, but they had quite the comeback. They clearly did not take this game to serious with their draft or they wanted to make it interesting for themselves. Game 1 from TSM vs Nouns is worth watching, huge comeback from Nouns against an Alch line-up. Game 2 was a beatdown by Nouns with an early GG from TSM. TSM clearly tilted like hell. Quincy Crew is now the gatekeeper for EG for the Major...imagine EG is not making it to the Major and have to go through TI-qualifiers. Most likely with nouns and QC(unless both are making it to the Top8) as their opponents... | ||

WEU1: OG and Tundra are already at the major. Behind that... anything can happen WEU2: Nigma and ITB are still undefeated and will be in Div1 next season. Also the group ends with them battling it out! Will Nigma go without Maploss?? EEU1: Navi, TS and Outsiders are all 5:1 and don't play against each other. So... three 6:1 incoming? EEU2: Nemiga is already looking up, HR and cybercats are doing the final series to see who will join them! (if CC win, I think they have an additional tiebreaker...) China1: RNG are safe for the major. But they all are very close! Will be a deciding last week! China2: liquipedia doesn't have infos, I'm to lazy to search for them Sea1: Boom made it, a lot can happen behind them. A highlight in the other direction would be SMG vs. Nigma.Sea to see who drops down to Div2! Sea2: Execration and Lilgun are already fixed for Div1. So kinda boring... but Sea matches are normally total bloodbaths, so maybe at least we see some fun games! NA1: QC are without maploss... and still not Major safe, because nouns and EG are 5:1 behind them. So: EG-QC will be the grudgematch! NA2: KBU.US are the last team without maploss (sorry SA) and will be in Div 1 with Alpha. So, not much going on; maybe see which team falls out of the DPC (and has to go to qualifiers again) SA1: bc and TA are fighting who will be at the major and who has to tiebreak against Infamous for that (Infamous are playing against the team in last place, so they should win that; but maybe upset and the "looser" of bc/TA is good to go) SA2: Three teams with 5:1! Coritiba and Dreamers are against each other to fix one Div1 slot. But if Ravens loose, we could a 3-way-tie for the second slot! good games everybody! | ||

Thanks for the summary In WEU, half of me wants Liquid to beat OG because I want OG to lose, and half of me wants Liquid to lose so there is a 3-way tiebreaker. In either case, I hope secret wins their series for a chance at tie breakers. The EG-QC match is insane. I expect the fata magic to continue and QC to win out, sending QC/nouns. Hopefully EG can pull it out and force the NA special 3-way tiebreaker. | ||

Fair enough (for WEU) Man, the lack of China at the second major and some variations in placements have really hurt China. LGD is at the top and otherwise Aster is right on the edge of qualification, but I wouldn't like that spot going into the major and Aster's history of choking on LAN. | ||

Regarding non-presence of China at the Major, still do not see them competing/attending at the Arlington Major, the daily changing rules at China are a mess. Just imagine a TI with only one directly qualified team(LGD) and the remaining ones have to fight it out at the qualifiers for one spot....Aster,VG,RNG,Xtreme,Ehome,iG...holy crap, it would be even more stacked than WEU. | ||
