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

So Najin is 1st in group now no matter what right? Anyone know for sure how they treat ties in group stage? They still have to beat Dignitas. Doesn't matter. Sword > CLG and Jokers. Only team that can be 2-1 besides them are CLG and Jokers. They get 1st due to head-to-head even if they throw away the Dig game.
I was under the impression they were playing games for tiebreakers, although the chances of this mysterious three way tie occurring are only in dream land.

djWheat starting to look bored
have they done any player/team interviews or have they only been introducing teams?

Yeah, but what he's saying is that analysis of strats doesn't really matter when the other teams are just mechanically superior, and can beat them down, secret strats or not.
As phreak would say, they need to get on my (the other teams) level.

It's impossible for a tiebreaker.
Sword is 2-0
Dig is 0-2
That game does not matter.
CLG.eu vs. Jokers are both 1-1. Winner moves on. Loser goes home.

the point is tho, that they have so much scrimming that they need to do that even just streaming their 'standard' scrims would probably be equivalent in terms of time commitment to streaming solo queue.

WHO IS THE BEST SUPPORT?!

i missed what maknoon said?

I still can't believe people hoping for TSM to do something. They won't. Did you guys see how bad NA teams get destroyed on their our soils? Asian teams just arrived in LA 3 days ago and they time difference is quite hardcore for Asian teams and they still beat every NA teams in a very convincing manner.
Also, where are you now Neo. How dare you laugh at me when I though SAJ is going to win against Dig  .

What exactly was CLGna trying to hide by keeping their scrims secret? They did the same thing everyone expected them to do in this tournament, nothing special at all.
yup. and spending time watching opponent's streams in order to get a one-up on them for the next tournament is a very risky move. it takes up a lot of time that might be used for practice instead. and it's also a huge guessing game. the more you watch, the less of a guessing game it is, but then you're wasting so much time on researching just one team and it's still a guess in the end.
streaming scrims all day will get you better results than streaming solo queue all day, even if every team watched every minute of your stream.

everytime you play solo q as ad you know how important supports are

Support montage very good :D

Oddone so funny in these segments.

Getting your ass kicked on a national stage is certainly one of the best ways to get "woken up" lol.
