bracket has nothing to do, fnatic is top8, enough said.

You could argue that other teams would be better and what not, but thats just worthless talk honestly

Zea!

to be fair guys, better no team in top 8 than Alliance as the only one representing the strength of EU ^^

Fnatic got top 8 but that seemed like a really lucky bracket for them. First against ESC, the weakest team in the tournament, and then Alliance, who had no business being in the upper bracket in the first place.

true. I don't see them having a chance vs either Liquid or Newbee though. Maybe vs Liquid if they have another meltdown but they should be the heavy underdog in both cases

Same story for alliance. They have good lanes good early game, but had no sense of timing. They were so passive and kept farming. Navi with that lead would never allow Fnatic time to breathe. OG with that lead would get objectives and starve out Fnatic. Several ways to win with that lead, but alliance decided to follow their losing formula in all their main event games.

Also I flame Mushi a lot but he played a fantastic void. Brilliant chronos all game. Still a piece of mushit because of net though, but really top class void game by him.

Lastly $4 lol. No idea on the orchid pick. Felt like he needed euls or Dagon instead.

I mean, EU is a region that is top 2 everywhere except TI, where they are usually top 4 at best.

Anyway but seriously Alliance was never going to win that game with that draft if they didn't win within 30 minutes or so.

If Secret counts as an EU team DC is NA.

And I doubt many people would have accepted a trade before the tournament. It's too late now :D.

Flame complexity and NA when they lose in wildcards. Take DC as their own when they suddenly start doing well. Classic.

Well, they had ability to win this in 20 minutes, that's the trick.

I can't believe EG legitimately lost to this pathetic [A] squad in the group stage

I think they played properly during the first game but ran into a situation that Alliance can still do well (base races).

Game 2 was likely phoned in quite a bit.

Regardless, both EG and TNC have seriously stepped it up in the brackets by a very wide margin.

I'm gonna be honest and say that while I like several players from Liquid (matumbaman and Jerax mostly) they have probably the most boring playstyle/games of any team at this TI so I kind of hope they lose.
