Not complaining just thing it's a funny coincidence because yes there should be consequences to losing a bo3. Great play by TSM with some derps, but really big props for CLG putting up such a great showing with HS new to the jungle and Xhazard who was really solid this whole tournament. You could argue that CLG had the harder bracket, being forced to plow through more good teams. But at this point, it'd sound like bitter whining lol. CLG just couldn't beat Dignitas the first time they met and that really caused a lot of problems for them. Still, HSGG new to the jungle putting up a good showing and xHazzard doing a good job too. Season 2 NA Qualifiers seem like they'll be very tight. | ||

TSM can mess up 3 out of the first 4 games while CLG was only able to mess up one out of their first 3 games. They should just make the grand final a bo5. The way The International did it (dota tourny) was Bo5, Winner Bracket team starts series 1-0. What do you think of that alternative? Winner bracket needs some sort of advantage, because otherwise it doesn't make much sense that both teams lose 1 Bo3, but the Loser Bracket team wins champ?? | ||

Do you question the fact that playing intense, important matches in a world-class tournament is incredibly draining? It's nowhere near the same as playing for 10 hours at home. | ||

I'm surprised to see that CLG still so strong despite down Voyboy and having the whole roster shifting Yeah, give Hotshot a little longer to practice jungling and with Voyboy top, I think CLG is going to be extremely strong. Well played TSM, they look almost unstoppable right now. | ||

Now, by my math, W is what puts Vayne on top of the DPS heap, even against a target with HP/armor as low as 2.5k/120. With W+R her only equal is a perfect 2-axe Draven. I know it's hard to get that third hit but that doesn't mean that W's damage isn't huge if you get it off. It's perfectly fine to argue that without trying to support it with numbers you make up on the spot. | ||

After the first Bo3 TSM dropped into the losers bracket and then they played an even Bo3 there, the losing team would be eliminated and thus the winning team will be left over. This isn't a bracket about winning, it's about being the last team left. I hate having to explain the format every time, use wikipedia please.

Truth is in a teamfight you will probably get a single silver bolt off because you can't just focus a single target | ||

As Vayne with more items he was still doing more damage than me wtf. @_@ Although this isn't a discussion for this thread lol. | ||

 But I think with Saint gone we might never see the classic CLG poke comp again. They probably don't practice it because Voy doesn't play Nid and the xHazzard sub was kinda a one-time thing. | ||

This isn't even close to as unfair as season1 wc was. It is a standard double elimination that has been around forever. Yeah, you lose and you play twice as many games. You know that going into a tournament. | ||
