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

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. | ||

Omg, I am so happy right now. <3 Really great for SAJ to pull out those crazy lanes after Dignitas attempted something similar in their last match and it backfired horribly. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
