I love watching SingSing stream, but he is decidedly mediocre on many heroes. On Rubick, however, he does extremely well, almost the best I've seen him played by anyone, and I'm not sure why teams keep letting him play it, because it makes games needlessly difficult. Making him play tide, or lesh, or another "backup" hero means he is almost completely out of the picture as a big difference maker. Don't let black play AM or lycan, and don't let Sing play rubick, and mouz is trash. Also enigma, dont let mouz get enigma

So basically, EU teams haven't won a series against any non-EU team except for aL.
|
so which western teams can now get into the upper bracket ?
|
I really don't understand why Zenith trolled the last game. The difference between finishing 4th and 3rd is massive difference of playing against IG or col/tf/orange/ehome/navi. That's a real huge difference imo.
But that's zenith cockiness i guess. They want to settle the score with EG probably before going to Playoff

EG is in the UB, so is CoL barring a 0-2 loss to Darer.
Na'Vi is the sole remaining contender for EU still capable of making it into UB.
Basically, 2 NA teams, 1 EU team.
Hate to say this Euros, but you guys got smashed.
Both NA teams made it.

Anyone else shocked by the two American teams making it into the upper bracket(assumiing col doesn't fold), and doing so well thus far compared to the traditional EU powerhouses like Navi and CLG?? It sure has shocked me.

Well considering I had fully resigned EG and col to be holding down the 0-X spots of their respective brackets, actually getting to the UB, and even beating a few SEA teams is huge, and exciting for me. Especially considering that our other decent team, POTM, isn't even playing.

Darer with ultimate time rating lineup

furryfish*: ok confirmed, eg zenith will not be playing another match
Tammy on teamZenith's channel.

Team Zenith 3rd and 4th placing has no difference. iG can CHOOSE between the 3rd and 4th placed teams so it makes no difference. Zenith does NOT have to play EG anymore.
|
It's up to iG to decide whether they want to play Zenith / EG.
|
oh wow that makes sense then

i really like that idea. good job valve. The one chosen will feel a little bit "disrespected" being seen as the easy preyand that spice things up a bit. Very minor but a nice touch.
Yea i think IG will 90 percent picks EG
|
Profit going for the fastest mek ever in col vs Darer.

I think it was done so that throwing a game to get seeded 4th instead of 3rd for a better matchup was prevented.
