Keep the rage to a minimum. This includes wait times between games, music, and balance.

Fair warning to all.

They won't. CLG and TSM both picked up B teams after seeing how hard Azubu Frost and Blaze dominated. They then proceeded to scirm their B teams every so often instead of utilizing their B teams as 24/7 scrim partners. TSM.evo and CLG.black just became scrub teams to give CLG/TSM more exposure.

Just like other eSports the NA scene will likely fade away. A few players might be good and dedicated enough to create a solid roster that can rival European and Asian teams.

For right now, the NA scene is definitely still relevant. But in a year or two they're going to be the jokes of tournaments like this. I mean, CLG, TSM, and Dignitas look pretty close in skill when they play each other. Watching CLG against iG and Frost was horrific. I don't expect NA to post good results this tournament. I will be shocked if Dig or TSM makes it to semis, much less finals (I guess TSM could go to semis if they get an easier quarter finals opponent, like Dig or CLGeu).

edit:
I don't think jiji is that passive in mid tbh. People have been saying he's too passive for like a year. He gave away first blood last game while being aggressive and harassing Karthus while stealing wraiths lol. He roams more than some other mids. He's not as passive as people still make him out to be. He's just not as good as other APs anymore.

Only thing you should take away from this is that CLG is not A tier material on an international level. And that saddens me. ;;


This is true. I'm still always confused why everyone hate on jiji? Jiji and voyboy only reason to cheer on CLGna.

So disappointed with how they are currently playing


Coming from a big jiji fan, jiji hasn't improved at all since beta/Season 1.

Moon and I were just talking earlier, if jiji improved as much as Nyjacky did this past season, CLG would be a focking terror again.

nyjacky/cop/elementz, all improved a tremendous amonut (after St.V joined. HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT). St.V pretty much drilled into nyjacky to play other champs, other than just veigar and morg. Nyjacky one of my favorite mids at this point, ever since he's improved.

jiji only had one impressive tourney showing this entire year, it was his anivia play back in MLG, but he's been really bad overall. But considering how little jungler presence hsgg has, jiji's already passive midlane play, just gets magnified even more. Jiji needs to go back to playing TF, and anivia.


Because while Saint may be an asshole he is a solid jungle and has a solid understanding of the game. Plus he actually WANTS to win and get better and his dominating attitude is good to drive people. People pointed to elements looking better and that was after Saint drunk called him out in front of basically the whole community.

Saint's attitude can be toxic at times, but tbh, Curse needed their asses kicked by St.V to get them going. now St.V need to force westrice to be good.

The NA teams are too popular to "fade away" but they won't be competitive at the highest level in the coming years, imo.
