Yea, I actually think coL might have pulled off the comeback if swindle still had Euls.

I mean, still like 20% chance, but they definitely had momentum before that gank.

feels bad, Swindlemelonzz.

dont see how euls from SS saves ember after qop got hex.
the game took so long because VP didnt find an opening to kill ember, after the hex it was easy.
yo twitch, as long as I can watch 480p lagfree I'm happy

Now I'm really hoping for Secret to make a good run. Would be shocking to see them go out in 12th place.

Daily reminder that NA team placed higher than Newbee, Empire and Mushi's boys.


You're talking about EG right

Because CoL placed at the same level as Empire, they lost in Loser's Round 2

2-1 against 2-0 though. And I'll argue that VP is more experienced than MVP.

Time to see how strong Ferrari's back is.

I'm guessing not strong enough.

Happens to rtz all the time in pubs. It's unfortunate, imo it's a risk you need to take, as the chance you lose the item is like 1 in a 100.


its not a risk you take in an elimination match in the international with a 18M prizepool. The small gain you get from efficiency vs the possibility of getting ganked/losing your item isn't even worth it. if you lose an item in a pub who cares, losing an item when you are already behind in the international is a whole different thing


It's hard to say. Like obviously it's a lot of money, but if they did standard stuff, they'd simply lose. They had to do every little thing to gain the smallest advantage, have the stars align, and then just maybe, they could win. Playing normally they simply couldn't.

No way IG will eliminate Secret with the form they showed so far. But if somehow they wake up and transform into the 2012 version of themselves, they might have a chance.

IG has been less than impressive so far in this tournament, but god damn they are a tough draw for secret. I think secret will win, but I definitely think an upset is a real possibility.

Forget about another team?

Even when EG was considered the best team, NA was still the dumbest region.


Except I think they were able to get to where they are off of being smart, rather than skill. Just look at the games. They basically lost in the early game against every top team. They lack the basic skill to win against these top players. But were able to do it by strategy. Every game they won was from strategy and knowing what to do and when. But that only gets you till all your strategies run out.

That's what people said about MVP Pheonix as well. And almost nobody for a second thought that EHome would beat Secret. I surely hope you're right, but Secret do tilt pretty hard.

Hopefully they start soon, they are pretty far behind schedule.

Fly played really well, imo. Zfreak too, wish they stay together.

Swindle is good as captain/drafter and mediocre as a solomid. Zizy is sub-par, but TI was his first LAN so the guy already outdid himself.
