After all the games today and during the groups, I am certain of the following:
Koreans have one of the best early and middle game rotations among all teams here, and the best understanding of push times. Their individual skill isn't necessarily above that of other teams and their strategies, up to now, have all been the same basic idea, and we haven't actually seen them in the late game in a situation where they have to play an even game, so they're in no way safe. But with the above advantages, any team that doesn't understand their push times, else lack the early/middle game rotations to deal with them, will certainly lose to them. There are only a few teams in this tournament, as such, that I'd place above them, all of them with smart leaders.
Chinese teams and the slower Western teams both need to understand that their strategies are shit, and that the Koreans are winning every game in under 30 minutes because they actually have the right idea. You need to play fast, else a way to shut down teams that do play fast. Up to now, push strategies are winning it all. Koreans across genre generally focus on execution based play. Mechanics and high APM over decision making and mind games (generally). In terms of individual skill, I don't think QO is lacking anything other than the hero pool compared to the top midlaners. Febby and MP seemingly underperform compared to the others but MP is transitioning to the carry role and Febby seems like he has taken over the March consistency role.
QO is scarily good mechanically these days, i'm in awe this is the same guy that went something like 0-6 vs s4 in mid when MVP first came into the scene.

Not sure if you guys know this but i believe the venue closes at 10pm
I will laugh my face off if a game ends up being interrupted because of that
Edit: that means one hour to go i think

We also need to update the LD calendar.
VP/VG was supposed to start at 10 am CEST

seriously? lmfao
I was hoping for a tournament that worked well for my timezone. If this one ran on schedule, it would have!
The humanity =[

I feel like if you tried to script this abortion of a tournament into a movie everyone would tell you you're full of shit, it's too fake.

Just came home and Alliance lost vs Liquid? What happenned? nooooo!!!
|
So why did they skip over VP/VG? Or rather, why can't they have other match play while waiting for keyboard problem to be "resolved"?
