How many of these NA teams have you scrimming against? What are your thoughts about them?

Before you ask any questions, check the OP first. JBright doesn't make an elaborate first post for no reason. - Neo, 1:55 KST To fix stream choppiness, turn down the resolution to 720p or 480p - 2:15 KST | ||

A Tier is CLG TSM EG D. In your opinion, Blight is strongest out of the B Tier? | ||

I only took the game times from the Riot post, but IPL's official schedule have something different. All the games have a 2 hour time slot, so hopefully we get bo3's. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1B5iR.png) I'll update it to the new times. | ||

on Curse: there is a reason some caster refers to facechecking as Doubblifting isnt it?  that and last time I saw them play they had their starter lineup and was playing a completely meh game. It wasnt bad, but it wasnt good enough to beat some of the stronger teams either. And now they dont have the starter lineup? Crs going out of group stages imo.Cmplxt: I dont even... how did they get through? oh well anywyas, probably going out of rgoupstages aswell. | ||

During Dreamhack quals, Doublelift facechecked a bush 3 separate times. (Almost) the entire enemy team was in that bush all 3 times. He died. | ||

Still tho, either they are hoping for some quick 2-0s or they will run out of time if a few of em go 3 long games. | ||

CLG will just have gotten back from China so they could well be totally jetlagged and screwed over. I doubt they'd have been able to go home so tiredness could be an issue but honestly I have no idea. Despite all this I really don't see them crashing out early. I think this is TSM's event to win. They've been training very hard since MLG and they're one of the only teams with their full roster there. Chaox has been doing some amazing things on his stream recently. It will probably come down to Reginald again at mid and if he's against one of the many ringers or tired players he could well run away with it. I expect some crazy stuff whipped out this tournament from these guys but if it's Bo1, we may have to wait. v8 I don't think have the experience to take this one. They got second in the IEM qualifiers but they got a bye past TSM and lost to Diginitas in the final so they haven't beaten and top-top teams yet. However they have a solid lineup and TreeEskimo knows his stuff. I expect one or two really dominant games showing a lot of promise but they'll get closed down by inconsistency. I'm not too certain on how banning will affect these guys so I won't say anything about it. Can't say a lot about Blight, they're the solid #8 team here and I don't know what to expect. I don't even think we'll see any crazy picks. Probably we'll get one team doing some weird against them and Blight just playing standard. I would stick Complexity as a first round loss if it's Bo3 (which we think it is). I've seen Yuhn a few times on streams recently and he's not been playing well. It's different with a team but I haven't heard anything from the other players. They got signed so they'll have a lot to prove but I don't think we'll see it this weekend. I think Curse are improving. DoubleLift seems to be getting better while Lapaka is getting worse but the team really should be close by now. They've been together for a while so they really should be making some head-way. I don't think that Nyjacky or SYDTKO have that wow-factor champion that really scares people. We've seen this trend that players with that super-scary character really change games. If you have one ridiculous character and a bunch of strong ones you're a huge asset to your team (you just have to look at the top sponsored players to see this in action and, also, where it lets people down). This will probably be up to DoubleLift and Liquid to do very well. Dignitas vs Curse should be very very interesting. Finally EG (they have been scrimming with Crumbzz). Dyrus has been Not sure why I wrote all this. Whenever I see other people write them I get annoyed at how wrong they are but meh. | ||

Its not IPL not wanting the young players but more like it legaly not being allowed for them to be inside. There are SC2 players below 18. They chose to have inferior competition for the sake of maybe having a bigger "spectacle."

This tournament will tell you almost nothing useful. Many of the teams don't have their actual rosters because of age restrictions and with the apparent bo1 format, you're going to have way too much variance to draw a conclusion on actual team ability. | ||
