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

Fair warning to all.

Probably Curse since they stayed at their mansion and even had bo9s with them.

Hard to make that argument in LoL against the Korean teams but seeing some people's attitudes from SC2, I can see how they will make themselves believe it.

WE and TPA are Chinese teams, different regional.

TPA is a Taiwanese team. They get considered as part of the SEA region.

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).


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.

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

What team? Also TSM always blows before any big tourney. Maybe its cause they learn from their losses? Unlike certain other teams who just throw out some TP strats and say Taadaa!

I am interested to see if TSM learned from getting stomped by the Asian teams. If they have learned they have a chance but if they just do what all NA teams do they will be out 1st round.

There are two - the Regi who can hang with the big boys and the Regi who can't. Usually his better self shows up to big tournaments, but if he doesn't, TSM is already done. But if Regi plays well TSM has a shot at the whole tournament - not the best shot, but a shot.

I would agree with you if not for the fact that CLG and Dignitas take games off TSM and make games with them look incredibly close.

TSM obviously has the best chance. They are better than CLG/Dignitas and the rest of the NA teams. But they aren't like a gigantic leap ahead. Frost and iG look like they're a gigantic leap ahead of CLG/Dignitas. TSM could still win but holy shit it'll take one of the best games TSM has ever put together to beat them.

I don't understand people saying Regi is not at the international level. He is great, the main problem with regi is that his champion pool is really limited and when he takes a champion that is not one of his favorite, he tends to just suck and feed.

People underestimate how much TSM learns from losing. Like when Blaze happened to them. They changed so much and adopted so fast.
