Depends on the Caliber of their play. I feel like these games are going poorly due to good early pressure on the jungler from TSM
*Poorly for Crs

While individual games can sometimes snowball quickly these games are such stomps because of the obvious skill difference in teams. Try watching the OGN tournament (there is a thread in this sub section) for better games.

NA is probably the realm with the closest competition imo. EU is dominated hard by M5 and CLG.eu. The Asian scene is still pretty new. Azubu Blaze won OGN Champions Spring. WE is touted as the best in China.

Admittedly, this tournament has a very large skill disparity because a lot of the other top teams already have other things they're doing. For example, Black is no where near the best EU team and they're playing with two substitutes too. However, the two best EU Teams (M5 and CLG.EU) already have commitments (CLG.EU is in Korea, M5 is in practise-mode for IEM). The other top NA team (CLG.NA) is in Korea competing in a tournament there while Dignitas only just got back to NA and couldn't confirm availability for MLG when invites were sent out.
The Korean OGN League, Season 2 Regional Qualifiers and Season 2 World Championship have (and will have) much, much closer games. If you want to see some recent close games, check out M5 v CLG.EU from Dreamhack and ECC oland.

Oh. My. God. This Nos Replay thing is cracking me up so much. Dan is like a local weather man or something.

HE GETS A PEN TO DRAW WITH TOO, THIS IS AMAZING!

Oh wow, the coloured lights behind the teams represent what side they're going to be on? No way I would have figured that out if the commentators didn't say that lol
|
No Urgot this game, Saint tired of not having any damage from his carries. Might see Janna come back out.
|
Dan doing the Nos Replay thing is so freaking cool and informative I think I'm becoming a better player just listening to his insightful analysis
|

seems like having a coach is not that beneficial so far lol
tsm kinda stomping curse.na just like blaze stomped them yesterday
i guess only really close and interesting match will tsm vs blaze rematch in the grand finals if tsm can adapt.

Curse.na vs. TSM Bans: Yorick Shyvana Nocturne Rumble Malphite Alistar
Picks: Ahri Graves / Soraka Kog / Nunu Kennen / Maokai Janna / Mundo Vlad

I doubt Kog will get to god mode.
Giving TSM Kennen and Vlad? huk, u gaiz hf.
|
Xpecial running a pure ward opening, no boots or faerie charm. I'm really happy this is catching on with proplayers.
|
Well that´s what they are gonna try to do, luckily they probablly won´t succeed.
