Very well played by MVPB. In the first game they almost won with a "troll" comp and I sort of wrote FNC off at that point.

Second game must've been quite a blow to FNCs morale.

I feel like that Rich Illidan clip has almost nothing to do with him, but the fact that R20 just did idiotic things and KSV just took the opportunity to kill things.

Can't help, but think that the game 5 was a big question mark by Ballistix

KSV getting blanked by Tempest opening week is quite a shocker.

Yeah, that was brutal. It looked like there was some botched coordination in teamfights with a lot of Rich jumping in to his death a lot. KSV played the macro game beautifully, but Tempest was definitely the better overall team today.

The series between GLuck and Feliz also showed that teamfighting is important, I think. It's ironic that teamfighting is the factor differentiating these teams after the big battleground changes. You would think that one team would just dominate the other in terms of rotations and snowball the game, but that hasn't really happened yet.
