Ok this is too ridiculous. Muted.
CLG eu won a game when they were down 20k to M5 before.
I think it was vs m5 anyway. They weren't down all the levels though.

And their win VS CLG.eu wasn't the most convicing...

Can anyone explain this season 3 thing to me? For what exactly do you qualify in season 3?

I'd write a guide for casters giving an analysis of all the major teams and strategies. But that would take forever and grinding out all that writing is far too hard.... Could always hire me as commentator. Hire Chiharu, get MoonBear free npnp

Yup, but I overslept and missed it, was hoping to avoid any spoilers but they even ballsed that up for me with Phreak's comment after the game -_-; Oh well.

Not saying that CLG.eu would have performed much better in their current constitution, but at least they have some experience playing against M5 to not get crushed that hard. SK were and are considered underdogs for a reason.
Pretty much the worst and most boring series of a so called grand final I have ever seen. Really sad. Grats to M5.

hmmm...really not trying to hate or start shit but:
all of tonight's matches were extremely boring lol

A real 2-in-1 deal

I think after a year of playing and watching this game, the only finals that I really found exciting (outside of the OGN tournaments) were TSM vs CLG finals. The rest were all fairly boring.

SK looked solid in their games v CLG.eu. However M5 did well to exploit SK's weaknesses and never let SK get into the game. SK should have known what M5 wanted to do and drafted a comp to deal with it. SK wanted a generic teamfight comp and nice lanes. But if you're too weak to teamfight or lane, what's the point of your comp? Not enough synergy to do something like CLG.eu style turtle out the gold deficit.

Season 3 will basically be lots of big tournaments and a Premier League Football style of lots of matches where teams face off regularly. All Season 3 qualified teams will also receive a salary and sponsorship from Riot so they can focus on playing LoL instead of worrying about financial security.

CLG.eu played terribly VS SK, SK won because they didn't do anything stupid and let CLG.eu lose the game. Too bad they don't know how to win one !

Season 3 is a championship league in which qualified teams are given a paid salary and move into a gaming house.

Does anyone know how seeding works for Season 2 tournament?
