but it's pretty obvoius that CLG has a lot of confidence in beating SK, looking at the picks they don't seem to be 100% into this game.
but looking at all 3 chinese teams, it kind of shows that LoL is still in the very early stages of its esports life and that western teams are by no means close to what is possible in this game.
I'm pretty sure this was orchestrated by CLG somehow. There's no way in hell they lose like that unless they're doing a strategic seed play or getting paid off.
21 minute game and twisted fate almost had 10k gold farmed... Wow...
I always wondered what World Elite would do in LoL after watching them play DotA and WC3, and they haven't disappointed me in the last two tournaments recently.

Since HSGG seemed happy at the end, I have a feeling they want to face SK who they know they can beat and make it to the finals.

Possibly. Forcing China v China means they have to grind it out and gives them more chance to see their meta and strategies.
Just difficult to say really, the last time where they didn't care about winning as jiji said we were just fucking around. Really obvious troll picks, this just makes you wonder. Joe even said Hotshot looked a bit angry after one of his first deaths. Its more than likely they didn't want to take it very seriously, then it snowballed way out of hand where they had no hope in catching up and then said fuck it.
Just gonna say that if CLG didn't throw this game they're really dumb at picks. I've never once seen HSGG play Zilean, not even on stream in solo queue. Running Urgot again instead of Kog'Maw who was open (it's Caitlyn so if Chauster didn't wanna get wrecked in lane it's either Urgot or Kog).
Maybe not a throw, but if they didn't throw they need to quit doing stuff like Dr. Mundo and Zilean/Ori in tournament games.

He played Zilean for like 10 games straight to bring up his ELO at the start of pre-season season 2

Interesting, I didn't happen to see that. Still, I think playing Urgot and pushing at level 1 (which apparently Chauster thought they could do) plus running that double AP doesn't suit CLG's style imo.
Ele claims HSGG's screen went black every time he got ganked. Also, apparently Chauster made the call to fight v Cait+Taric lvl 1 with creep wave pushing on them.

The picks weren't even trollish. They ran double AP against double AP. Hotshot just has the mentality that he can play anything amazing in a tournament.
