Opposite of how navi got shit luck in manila, Fnatic had an easy top 8 here.

I mean, obviously bracket helps

but to win you dont have to beat everyone, you just have to beat the teams in front of you


Fact is they enjoyed bracket luck though.

Liquid and DC. You are EUs last hope!


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.

So name me a decent team with more than 1 NA player outside of EG? The fact a big organisation like col does not bother to pick American players is telling



Secret? (TI6 performance notwithstanding).


I believe he said decent


Yeah easy to talk shit now, but I'm sure people wouldn't be so quick to jump on them before TI6 and after they placed 2nd at Starladder (not to mention their major performances).

What do you want me to do? Brag about 7ckingmad coaching OG? I can only flame. Gimme a French team and I'll glady root for them.



Nah, I just get annoyed at how much EU fanboys worm their way into elitism (DC is EU, Secret is EU if they play well, etc.).

Like I don't even disagree EU is strong (-er? -est?), but the way people are such elitists jerks about it makes me want to root against EU 100% of the time.

honestly FATA was decent at DP before the changes but the current DP + FATA is the most annoying thing ever, I hope Liquid picks it more cuz I'd rather watch that shit than DK

Well, if EG were a Eu-based team, NA fanbois would be adopting them as NA team now.

So, that's expected.

I always claimed DC are EU though. Any team that has 3 or more EU players are European to me. You can dress it up however you like but I will never accept them as an NA team.

really? Newbee in the way, EG/Ehome in the way? I wouldn't say that's easy at all just because whoever wins between Liquid/Newbee gets an easy next round with fnatic

Actually the bracket is re-set here so their bracket is actually Navi (whom they always win against), Newbee (against whom they have consistent winning record), Fnatic (unless they really turn it up a notch, they are not tough at all) and loser of MVP/Wings, and going by MVP's previous performances MVP loses now and in lower bracket.

Unless they really pull off a TI choke, they actually have a clear cut path to top 4.


If theres anything you should have learnt from this tournament is that there is no clear cut path.

part of being a fan of EE/RTZ means that you're gonna be on the receiving end of a lot of memes and jokes and "bantz" about the teams they are on lol. Regardless of the fact that they have helped make every team they've ever been on T1 caliber.

it is actually amazing how many secret 'haters' out there lmao

I swear some people even make it their life purpose or something

Pretty much the same with Alliance haters. The hate is strong.

Secret fans were obnoxious when there were a lot of them, like na'vi's ones were when they had a ton. It's only fair to receive some flak for a decent amount of time even after the trend faded.

Is it? I don't even feel like anything was really that surprising.

Well, tnc vs OG notwithstanding but in hindsight you have a pubstar and a team of 4 known TI chokers against an actual team. Upset was possible, and it just happened.

So OG aren't EU then because they only have 2.5 EU players?
