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.



Then how do you explain RattleSnake>Quantic?


QUANTIC BAD TIER 3 TEAM

Goblak did not draft à la goblak or the French played poorly tbh.

She is a professional from FOX News. Despite how much I dislike FOX New's biased opinions, she is worthy of being followed on Twitter.

She is not from the Fox News you are thinking of. this fox is a local affiliate in the area.

Yes, that's what I meant. If you don't use it you practically don't even have it. A fundamental mistake that pretty much cost them the game.

That game is all on Luo, and probably the weaver pick which was completely useless. But they lost the whole game in that first fight mid when Luo never used his bkb and died to Timbersaw nukes in 2 seconds. He had a fucking naga song for a setup, he had satanic and bfly, a 10 second bkb and he never used it. On top of that he had no buyback which costed them all the outer towers. Don't get too hyped about dignitas, they didn't do anything special, Luo lost that himself by taking all the farm on the map and not being able to hit the bkb button when he had to. im not hating on dignitas, im just mad at the horrible play out of Rsnake.


Probably thought to himself to keep his BKB until necessary, because they wouldn't focus him early. Atleast I didn't think he gets blown up in two seconds. In the end, Luo had a missplay yes, but it doesn't excuse the fact that his team was useless after the 20 minute mark.


What? Luo had all the farm while his team was getting ganked by wisp nonstop. That's standard 4 protect 1 comp; Luo fucked up. That's all there was to it.

So Na'Vi and Alliance are the tier 1 teams? who else would you label as Tier 1 Westerns?


There are no other. Presently Na'Vi and Alliance are the only Tier 1 Western teams.

then LGD is the only chinese tier 1 team, the others are far too inconsistent


LGD that went 6-6 in groups before Day 3 and narrowly avoided a loss to Dignitas in the tiebreakers? Okay.

...

Yeah, because we label teams based on their TI performance. You even didn't get what opretown was implying.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

I like how Azarkon use a Bo1 of Dignitas vs RS to say Western Tier 2 >>>> Chinese Tier 2.
That logic.

RSnakes are 2.5 - 3rd tier in China.



They're tier 2, lest you want to argue TF is tier 2.

They're around the same level that Rising Stars and VG is.



Which are 3rd tier teams.


not quiet sure what Tier 2 teams are then, basically Rising Stars and VG are right behind LGD, IG, TongFu, DK which are all t1



LGD/iG/DK are the tier 1 teams.

Tongfu is the only 2nd tier team, although they are now pushing their way into tier 1. Prior to D2SL though, they definitely were not a tier 1 team.


TF is in no way a 2nd tier team.

They won DSL 3-0 against DK, and go even vs. every top Chinese team.



Prior to DSL no one would even put Tongfu close to tier 1. Flash in the pan performance does not make you a tier 1 team. Consistent performance across a long stretch of time does.


tongfu had really good results. semi finale g-league, narrowly missed g1, won DSL in a dominant fashion.
tongfu and LGD are the two teams to look out for.

It makes me wonder why they didn't put LanM on such an important hero.

We rank them based on the last 30 minutes played.

Rattlesnake is tier 6 eastern, Dignitas tier 1 western.

Right?
