Its fun its different maybe we will get to see some "bad" or underplayed champs get some of the spotlight or do really well...I honestly think this would be more entertaining then dig and crs paying generic strategies cause they want to save strategies for next weekend

Really don't see why people are mad, it's a very entertaining final so far. I also paid for MLG streams this time around and i'm not mad 1 bit. I paid to be entertained, and i am very entertained. lol

Calm down. SC2 has done things like this as well. Naniwa lost his spot in GSL over this.

remember this is FINALS not some fucking exhibition match.
disgrace imo.
You give your all in a finals no matter what game it is.

Ever see a proffesional sport do this in a finals?
no
because theyre fucking proffesionals


Mfw says league of legends don't look competitors when you're also watching sc2.

I disagree, these guys are not trying to win in the slightest. Might as well fire up minesweeper, shut your eyes and first one to click a bomb loses.

I expect them to play normal after this. Just this is kinda the "Omg out of left field" thing. Of course I also fully expect them to not use their Hidden strats but play more conventional games.

It is MLG's fault anyway. The prize pool difference is diddly squat compared to what teams can get at PAX. $8k for the team is nothing compared to an entire year sponsored by Riot. They just want that spot secured. And they don't want to give shit away to teams that they will meet at PAX.

Whether or not you have an opinion on whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, Naniwa's probe rush isn't even close to being the same. It's just not even in the same league.

Probe rushing is 100% loss 100% of the time even if you micro your heart out against a pro player. Even against plat if they know to amove, you'll still lose. Naniwa just wanted something slightly more acceptable than gging and leaving immediately.

If he'd proxy gated or 4 gated or something, there wouldn't have been a problem.

Naniwa didn't try to win, and still wouldn't have been trying to win if he'd micro'd his probes.

These guys are trying to win under restrictions they placed upon themselves. An equivalent might be if Naniwa and Nestea had decided before the game to switch races and have nani play z and nestea play p edit: and they'd both played to the best of their abilities.


LOL you're kidding right, PLEASE PLEASE tell me or a little part of my faith in humanity just died. They did not try their best to win.

You're looking at it with a skewed view. Theyre playing some what seriously but with a different set of restrictions out side of the usual 6 bans and whatever the other team picked first. Its fun its different. I kinda blame MLG and Riot for scheduling two tourneys on consecutive weekends

Lol this ad immediately after that game.

Being a progamer requires dedication.
MLG is the most professional circuit on the planet.
If you don't have everything precise at the highest level of competition then it doesn't come together.

Curse and Dignitas giving zero fucks.

Well whatever, it's still not in the same league as nani's probe rush, which was my main point. They still tried to win fights, even if using bad strategies. Probe rushing is losing the game.
