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

Were you here when SC2 had just started? Koreans as a whole were considered overrated up until MLG Anaheim, when MVP, MMA and the rest just straight up mopped the floor with the foreigners.
In LoL they are still in the denial phase. Give it some more time. It will transition into "Koreans are good but boring and no personality" phase.

TSM was pretty much 24/7 scrimming Curse it seems since they were staying at their house. DL said that while they were streaming a shit ton they were doing some unstreamed scrims vs CLGEU.
Its why I think Curse will be a force next season. They have their house and they are the only NA team who currently have players actually getting better. In the NA regionals they had advantages in all their major losses cause they made mistakes that snowballed. If they can clean that up and their players can continue to improve they can be very relevant.

Chauster needs to reevaluate what he thinks he knows about the game because CLG got outplayed, outthought in every game. exactly what i was thinking. seems like some bad communication and bad calls on CLG's end and i know it's chauster dominating the conversation. either they need to communicate and execute better or chauster has really fallen behind the rest of the world strat wise who are you rooting for Nony? any favorites? nah idk. i like mme ferus and they arent in it. this is my first time seeing azubu frost and i really like their teamwork and shy is off the hook. so i kinda like them right now. i cheer for NA teams but just feel a little more embarrassed for CLG prime ;; i hope TSM and dignitas can take some games
Cheer for Dig with me bud. It's going to be really hard for them to beat both Najin and Clg.eu but I believe in the qtpie. I'm expecting
a. Imaqtpie Kog'maw and possibly Draven?
b. Weird cheese. Though I don't know if Patoy is smart at building weird comps like L0CUST

Psh. I'm chinese speaking, I'm rooting for TPA. BASED TAIWAN. Yeah, that's right.

They didnt although I am pretty sure you know that- 
And yes, the format is retarded. The advantage for winnign a reginal tournament is way too big.

honestly the biggest turning point in that game was kind of voyboys fault. when he teleported bot during that gank it was a good play and they killed sona for free. rest of the team starts leaving but he keeps going trying for more kills and ends up baiting them all to their deaths. could have been 1 for 0 but ended up 1 for 4 haha
Well, it would've been 1 for 1, since jiji had just died middle when Jax came down to pick him off. Jiji had pushed mid up to make sure Karth couldn't help bot, which left him exposed when Jax came down. His death really should've tipped Voyboy off that Jax might be in the area, and he shouldn't keep going in on Maokai. >_< I agree with you, though, that this was where the game really turned around. Immediately after this, Frost went to dragon, baiting Mundo and Lulu out to their deaths. It was a huge swing.

Best game of the night by far. Really close, action packed and exciting plays all over the game.

I think he was more talking about Doublelift statement on Frost. He said that they basically sucked, especially their botlane, and that Naijin sword is the big bad wolf of the tournament.

Fixed that for you. They should drop Westrice and/or Salce. Pick up someone who's going to be consistent in top lane. Even if it's just someone like Dyrus who won't ever "win" top but at least won't feed.

Hehe, one of the iG members looks like a mini Chuan with glasses
well dont think there can be bigger stomps than clg.na surrendering to iG after 2x minutes or Frost having 16k goldlead on clg after 26minutes. but yeah im expecting another stomp, need group and and clg.eu already to restore some faith in our western scene. If clg.eu somehow derps our russian overlord will show them how it's done though.

The NA teams are too popular to "fade away" but they won't be competitive at the highest level in the coming years, imo.
A lot like certain American starcraft players.

Considering how much the Koreans were cussing in the game 1 replay. lack of personality is not an issue 
shit was hilarious.

Allegedly TSM is 0-11 against a team they scrimmed before the worlds.

Wingsofdeath is the only one I can think of that's a free agent, but I don't think they will kick West or Salce because of the face-to-face living in the same house element.
