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

Fair warning to all.

There is still hope in TSM. I have no idea how they are going to do, but it could at least be a strong showing for one NA team, even if they don't win. The rest of NA does need to step it up, though.

Man, I wasn't really expected this eventhough SAJ is my home team. Omg, I am so happy right now.

Really great for SAJ to pull out those crazy lanes after Dignitas attempted something similar in their last match and it backfired horribly.

No I meant that as they prioritize streaming over scrims.

Pretty sure most ppl on TL expected Azubu and IG from group A, and Sword and CLG.EU from B. So far only 'upset' has been jokers beating dig... which is more funny than surprising.


Yea but TL is a small smart community. The "fan polls" kind of said differently didn't it?

yea but SAJ were dark horses through and through. They've basically never played against any western teams except at IPL so it's hard to judge. But SAJ doing this well gives me hope that TPA will rape everyone.

Those were weird lanes. Leona mid did a lot to keep fights in SJ's favor.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I think it's the "fan favorite" effect you see in every game. Like how for any poll you'll see "Who do you think will win MLG?", and Thorzain, Naniwa, and some other good foreigners will have a good chunk of the votes just because everyone loves them. But in the end, if you think rationally you KNOW someone like MC or Bomber or MKP will be taking down the prize with ease.

For people who closely follow the scenes, these results aren't surprising, but to either blind fanboys or casual fans, seeing their heroes get trashed is shocking, at least it seems so judging by my friend's response to CLG's 1-2.

Not a single tick of damage on Archie that entire fight. Not surprising they lost it so badly.

Yeah the NA teams are not really great atm but honestly I did not expect anything else I do not expect that TSM will win anything either and as people stated the only real "upset" was Jokers beating Dignitas. For me it was a bit surprising that CLG loses to Naijin aswell (even though not shocking) but if you let Sona/ezreal open to pick a Malphite you deserve to lose.

Edit: and since Gamescom CLG.eu is not really that strong anymore and you see a lot more weaknesses recently.

I dunno, I'd treat 'fan polls' the same way i treat twitch chat, lol official forums, and fox news.

when i've seen scrims streamed there isn't a huge drop in viewers or anything. at this point it's not about keeping strats secret. they need to grind out tons of scrims just to raise their level of play in general. that won't be giving anything away if they stream it. they can still work on some secret shit off stream too

I did not see picks/bans, but why pick Kat vs. Karth?


Kat's actually great vs Karthus, since he has no cc and is squishy she can burst him down pretty quick. Unfortunately, kat didn't lane against karthus, so they didn't matter at all.

Yea, I agree with you on that point!

But until we get some structures that allow players to sustain themselves, they don't have a choice... I mean, S3 might change things (if the salary is decent). That will allow some teams to focus solely on their game and not on economics.
