They'd need TSM to drop their set against Black and win their own set against Blaze. TSM beating Curse means that if Blaze comes in first and somehow TSM loses to Black, TSM still makes it to finals for beating Curse in round robins. | ||

Curse would have to 3-0 Blaze to force a 3-way tie at 6-3. No clue what the tiebreak is there. If Curse wins this game, TSM finishes 5-4. Curse then needs two wins against Blaze to advance(only 1 win would leave them at 5-4, tied with TSM and out of the finals because TSM won the series.) If TSM loses one game to Black: TSM can now finish 5-4 at best. Curse still needs 3 wins out of their last 4. If TSM loses two games to Black: TSM can now finish 4-5 at best. Curse needs 2 out of their last 4. If TSM loses three games to Black: TSM can finish 3-6 at best. Curse advances with any win. Possible three way tie at 3-6. | ||

Is it just me, or did Curse kinda get the short end of the stick in the big three-way merry-go-round of transfers a few months back? Or is it something else. They've just been... so underwhelming. No way they're going to make top 3 in the NA Regional Qualifiers like this. | ||

Just disappointed in Pobelter right now with his play x_x | ||

Mabye I'm over analyzing but if I was Monte Cristo that would be my first question in the after series interview, why do they like Raka so much more. Considering Xpecial doesn't play Lulu to a tournament standard (he doesn't play her at all, as far as I know), he's not gonna start playing her halfway through this tourney. Maybe after it's over he'll start picking her more, but its unsurprising that he's not right now. | ||

On TSM Lulu, Xpecial doesn't play her much. afaik, I don't think Xpecial has ever picked her in a tournament setting. It's much easier to pick up Blaze's playstyle, as a team, than to ask a player to play a champion outside his comfort zone. | ||

He has the timing and know-how but it rarely converts to pluses for his team. At one point, he was king of the jungle and touted as best NA jungler but he's been on a downward spiral since the start of this season.

It's much easier to pick up Blaze's playstyle, as a team, than to ask a player to play a champion outside his comfort zone. I don't know man, a lot of Curse games I see is Saint being the only one making plays for them while every lane is losing. It's hard to look good as a jungler if all your lanes are weak. In game one Saint out-jungled Odd One big time but no one noticed that because the rest of Curse was failing. | ||

Koreans really, really like AD/Support top as of late. Just look at OGN.
