A few USA chants are fine but please don't do it too much.

Stop the stupid USA arguments, thanks.

On another note, CDEC flairs are now live. Sorry about the delay on that.

It' what people wanted after 2012.

To be fair, something like being one game up as upper bracket winner or having to win 2 series as the lower bracket contender is very heavy handed and takes out a lot of the tension.

Maybe something minor like having the winner bracket team win the coin flip by default might be in order.

You also have to consider that EG had to play two series today, whereas CDEC are fresh and get one more series worth of information.

It's the typical build, unless your name is Jacky Mao. In that case, you upgrade them to BoT's 2

CDEC with the overall better farm i think. DK going blink first i think it's gamebreaker for EG.

It's super disingenuous to call Shiki losing lanes to Sumail a "lack of skill" rather than exceptional skill on Sumail's part. Even Azarkon isn't that eager to flame Chinese players.

Sumail really is just that good. His Achilles heel is his relative inexperience so in really scrappy games like game 1 of the WB, some of his decision making can be questionable.

I wonder if agressif will keep this level of dominance after TI or it will be just a one-off like RONIN's during some dreamhack, imo he was the mvp of this tournament followed closely by universe/sumail.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Aquila into BoT on PL.
That was meaningless. They have DK who has to push into some towers. PL with BoT's doesn't offer anything to that push. If the purpose was going late why would go for a DK mid? Pick something else!

1/6 chance he gets that right. Not that surprising.

In an interview I remember a player saying playing that extra series is better as it serves as a decent warm-up.

CDEC are winning, lol.

EG getting first 2 kills means less than it looks like. They need to develop the game a lot more to make good on their current position.
