Today has been within what I thought.

Fnatic losing to TF was simply a second-tier EU team losing to a first-tier Chinese team.

Na'Vi dropping a game to Orange... Meh, it's Na'Vi.

Dignitas winning RattleSnakes simply shows Western tier 2 teams are still > Chinese tier 2 teams.

IMO this bodes well for Na'Vi and Alliance finals.

Rattlesnake has a real sympathetic story too. Oh well, that's how it goes.

No, they were neck and neck.

Even farm vs Triple Core is not good. Just that Rsnake threw in a critical fight that cost them big time. Very big misplay by Gyro not bkbing when he should have, and everyone stacked up on top of Timber which allowed Timber to get free AoEs on everyone.

RSnakes are 2.5 - 3rd tier in China.
