Westrice with the great ult onto all of LgN, but all of Crs walked into Nunu+Meowkai ult from the bush and then they're grouped up for the LgN AoE...

ROFL. They didn't see corki... he was standing right behind them, just a few feet completely in the open and all five of them were looking elsewhere, he's just like 'oh shit' and walks away.

This is my biggest fear for NA teams.

The skill differential between the top 2-3 teams and everyone else is freaking so HUGE that games are quite boring.

Yeah, no Dignitas/CLG and Sentinels+WE not living up to hype makes this a relatively easy tournament for TSM.

you know you are behind when the entire other team eats hemoplague and Crechendo and the first tic of soul shackle and you still lose the fight.

Morgana getting the Abyssal first and not having the Zhonyas is really causing problems. Getting killed before her ult finishes.

tbh, it was never a question that SGS is just the second-rate team after TPA
I dunno what the hell happened to WE, they played better in OGN

Vlad actually gets hit by the barrel every time and nearly dies while sona missed ult on corki and morg did aswell. With vlad being low and morg not getting her full ult all their damage is gone. It all happened inside mao ult too.

The problem with these tournaments is that a lot of the top tier teams aren't all on the same page and have different priorities... The CLGs are busy training in Korea (even if NA was eliminated, they're still going to train there). M5 is notoriously secretive until the big tournaments that really matter. Korean Teams are still in Korea for now. (They'll come to take our prize money eventually.) WE really failed to impress. (Perhaps iG or Noah's Ark would have been better?)

It still remains the fact that the only North American teams to ever win a major tournament are the NA Troika of CLG, TSM and Dignitas. It does say a lot...

Season 3 is going to be a snooze fest if it's going to be region locked.

Hmm, its looking bad for Curse right now. Both Vlad and Morg need Zhonya so badly.

30 min in and Nyjacky still hasn't finished farming his Zhonyas. I really wonder if Abyssal first is still worth it. Perhaps since he has double AP with Vlad and didn't expect to get killed so much and not be able to farm. Still, it is hurting Curse a lot.

Season 3 is going to be a snooze fest if it's going to be region locked.

They say that each region will have regular "re-qualifier" tournaments to make sure only the best stay in the Arena. However, I wonder if this will just create a two-tier system of tournaments. Can you imagine teams like LgN, EG or v8 failing to make it despite being good? Hrm. Hard to say.

That being said however, having salaries for teams definitely helps. Would have to know more info before really making a judgement.

lets go back and examine the team fight in slow motion yet forget to mention the clutch exhaust on Morg before she ults, followed by the insta clense of binding by corki basically making her useless.

Morg and Vlad finally have Zhonyas but 12k gold lead and Baron for LgN. GA on Irelia too, and QSS on Gragas and Corki. Big problem.
