This is a great writeup.
South american server also have oppened in the region, the competition over there is lower but hopefully it will create a nice competitive area

I really hope the BR scene grows and does well. I really like those guys.

Definitely will tune in to this event.

Keyd losing seems like a pretty decent upset to start things off

Get someone else to watch it on their computer, and use Gotomeeting to watch their screen.

<3 the BR fans making a TL account and posting for the first time. And I definitely agree, Kami is godlike and comparable to EU mids. paiN and Keyd seem to have a lot of individual talent.

keyd is Mylon+4, CNB>KEYD

Nice play from CNB, I didn't liked Kami on Karthus, it's not his style of champion. alocs and manajj proved again to be the best bot lane on Brazil.

Really nice comp from CNB. Definitely see the OGN influence Philip talked about.

I'm sure Leko researched a lot about Homme (MVP Ozone top laner) style of playing. They know Mana can shine in teamfights if they create a good frontline and sure they did.

For those who don't know, Doublelep old nickname was "Irelia", he's kinda legendary on that champion. Brunobit (the jungler) for nexi is 3 times Counter Strike World Champion.

I just skimmed through today's VOD. Nex Impetus really came out to play and stepped it up big time. It's good that they spent all the time shuffling around their roster until they found a very good fit for everyone.

CNB is destroying Action; it's not even close. Dana has been spot on with ganks and hooks. And Keyd is already eliminate. wtf?

RMA seem quite strong, though I still think the winner will come from group B - Pain and CMB seem like the 2 top teams

This game (RMA vs Nex) is really really good. Both have good comps, both are playing aggressive and well (except for the Thresh who keeps getting caught -_-).
