Thats how a lot of sports and competitive stuff works. This year EG is better. Maybe next year C9 will be better. It doesn't make them a scrub tier team. Now TT, however.....(shots fired) | ||

Not many teams beat EG "when it matters" considering they've won WEC and SL and barely lost to VG at ESL after TI. c9 lost 2-1 at SL and ESL and 2-1, 2-0 at WEC finals. Another final they played was earlier in the spring at Monster Invitational or whatever when c9 still had Sing and Demon was standing in and then EG won 3-2 in the finals if I remember correctly. I don't think they've played each other in the playoffs of any other LANs, so every time c9 has still taken maps of EG. | ||

However I can't actually remember the last time C9 beat EG when it mattered. | ||

However I can't actually remember the last time C9 beat EG when it mattered. If "when it mattered" means an elimination game on LAN, it hasn't happened I think. But it has been "only" 4 events in the span of 9 months or so: Monster, WEC, ESL and SL. If we talk about LAN generally, c9 won here at Dreamleague 2-0, they won at TI groupstages, and they won in the upper bracket final of the Monster event 2-0. | ||

Although I think c9 has a decent shot, I don't think one can put them as the favorite given their history with EG (even not taking the games from today into consideration). c9 has to show that they can win a series like this first before one can consider them favorites. | ||

I don't know how you can see c9 as a favorite against EG. Anyways all this talk assumes they win their first games which is far from certain considering how bad they looked today. | ||

Well they did their clown9 things against VP, but their games against VP.P were pretty straightforward. And if there is a team that can look like complete ass in one game and really good in the next it's probably c9. I think it's very likely that they beat VP, not that likely they beat EG but unlike VP they have a decent shot to do it imo. | ||

Either recently changed or a bug. edit, Bug. A mod/admin changed the start day but didn't touch the games. So they still had their old times even though the event itself is today. | ||

And no one ever goes into a tournament thinking c9 is going to win it. Hoping, yes, but never betting. | ||
