SA teams have not been jokes at minors since the first one; they've improved quite a bit as far as tier 2 teams are concerned.

Edit: Okay, hard NS counter play by NiP and they ruined both side lanes hard. | ||

Bristle Aghs on 33 was gruesome, bonus damage of 670(?) once nasal goo became an Aoe-spell, but Sirius should have taken this game until that questionable play at mid when SK and WK charged forwards just after OD tped out. | ||

I'd be a bit surprised, because it doesn't seem like PPD to kick someone before an event like TI. FATA actually did fine that series; his laning is terrible but his team play is fine. | ||

Mineski had a bad draft for game one and was almost gonna win but they had one critical bad fight which doomed them to lose. That game was way closer than the ending statistics made it seem. | ||

Considering Fata & Ace wanted to play together and came as a pair, it's been thought NiP would have to replace both at once. Normal problem is Ace isn't adaptable enough. He makes about 2 mistakes per series that are the difference between Finals and 6-10th at a major LAN. To win TI, the team would need to get really hot. To place well, they just need to keep going. There really isn't anyone good enough available to change up the situation NiP is in and that's been true all season. After they got the Top 4 at the first Major, they've also had no incentive to really change the roster. They just had the problem of being in EU this season. | ||

You don't do that kick like 5 days after TI unless you wanted to do it before TI, but he refrained. | ||

Well, aui was one of his greatest asset during the drafting stages as teams had to ban at least two of his heroes in the first phase. I consider(on basis of the drama between him and clairvoyance and if only parts of same are true) him as a person who would gladly sacrifice somebody if same will increase his chance of winning. If there has been anybody prior TI5 with the same impact on the games like aui, I am pretty sure he would have kicked aui even if it was only one hour before the first game. His leadership has always been described as autocratic where he is the only one in charge for decisions. It may not be as drastic as I wrote it, but hell yeah he will kick Ace if he considers Matu as the better carry for their playstyle(and subject that Fata and/or the others will not insist on playing with Ace during TI). | ||

SA team throwing a lead by diving beyond T3s with T2 up. Why does this always happen. Edit: Anvorgesa pull it back and close out the game. Ehome really needs this win, and it would setup the fun Alliance vs Ehome over the last TI slot. | ||

Top 4 should be at least interesting. It's Win 2 matches before you lose 2 and it's off to the Major. | ||
