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

I am really wondering if CLG will keep on playing that very slow turtling style, because I think that it could be figured out by analysing the replays.
Plus it was really hard to enjoy in the end XD.
As for the other match
I think that it will be pure epicness, two agressive team fighting is always beautiful ! WE vs. CLG.Eu is going to come down to WE's preparedness. That much is clear from the first set. WE without a doubt came into games 1 and 2 more prepared than CLG.Eu was, but with regames to let CLG.Eu get back on their feet and to go past what WE planned for, things swung the ther way. It helps WE immensely that they only are playing the 3rd game over and not the entire series. WE's condition also deteriorated significantly by the end of the day, apparently they had only eaten a light breakfast and didn't grab lunch until sometime around 8 pm
Why did Riot not feed them during any of those 40-55 minute breaks... wtf? That is really crazy.

There was a bit of miscommunication are riot continued to reassure WE that the games will be played soon, so they didn't want to eat (they probably also aren't particularly used to Western food and I dont recall there being any good Chinese restaurants near LA live.

Unfortunately I think CLG.eu wil beat WE. Really not a fan of the dull as shit strategy they use against decent teams. I just want to watch M5 vs TPA, when I won't mind who wins because they are both fun and aggressive teams to watch.

Hard to predict WE vs CLG, but I have a feeling M5 vs TPA could be quite onesided (in favor of m5).

I think it's pretty easy to predict -- ban blitz, win money. Don't ban blitz, go home.
As much as I hate watching the slow, boring turtle-y play of CLG.EU, they're the best at it. WE will need some kind of Skarn/Blitz to break the late-game comp, or will have to get such a huge advantage in the beginning that CLG can't overcome it (unlikely).
If WE preps something else amazing before then, I'm going to be thoroughly impressed.

Alternatively, put Weixiao on a carry that you can simply not afford to let get to lategame.
As far as I'm concerned, CLG.EU can turtle all they want against a Weixiao Kog or Vayne and it won't change a damn thing. WE just needs to get the comp to support it.

Its a Bo1. Im not sure who will win but i would give them about 50/50.
In a Bo3 id go with WE 80% of the time but to much can happen in a single game.

Now honest question to all the proper asians here - can you really be not used to Western food? I mean that's the most vanilla cuisine of them all.

If Blitz is banned, that's what I would expect to see. I would expect a Kog or maybe a Trist (she still exists, dammit!), something that can be easily protected. I think Vayne would just get roflsmacked.
If they try something like they tried in Game 3 (4? 5?) again, where they go standard with no hard engage and only disengage abilities, they're screwed.
I almost want to see an Amumu jungle come out....

Trist is not likely because Weixiao doesn't play her that much. Vayne and Kog are among Weixiao's "signature" heroes.

Its a lot lot fatter i believe. The cuisine really is very different. A friend of mine has a Japanese gf and she wont touch western food to save herself from starvation tbh.
And if your not used to it you can probably get some pretty annoying stomach problems from it. Enough to influence your playstyle.

(Never been to Asia but I do frequent Richmond, which is 99.9% chinese, close enough) Asian food is generally a lot less rich, with higher water content and less meat&potatoes. I eat everything though, no problems, although that comes with living in a very multicultural city.
