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

Fair warning to all.

now onto clgeu getting stomped

jk more like having their nexus sieged for like 10 minutes after a hour long game where they just turtle and let froggen farm and get occasional kills hoping for a miracle comeback

3 fucking times in a row (d/c in game 2 then rematch where azooboo tilts and throws the game but puts their shit together for the final game)

go azooboo!

Standley's Nid is just insane. MVP for the series for sure. Pushes faster than a shen, and can't get caught with many leaps.

The Chinese caster was crying, so proud of TPA beating Moscow 5

GG guys.

It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

what we have learned is that european ad carries are just a whole notch below asian ad carries :>

Pretty much.

None of the EU AD Carries have impressed at all this tournament. It's really depressing to see.

I should stop listening to power ranks xD

Tbh, the power ranks were pretty bad and too based on "results" while neglecting the gameplay behind them. TPA and WE were completely underrated despite their recent pick-ups in form respectively. Still, I would've predicted M5 > TPA prior to the series.

Already wondering if we will see roster changes with these teams for season 3. Maybe M5 will look for a different ad carry after this.
Off-season = best season

lol, Power rank failed really hard. Bottom 2 teams SAJ and TPA is out performance any predictions before this season final. I call it lack of information when westerners trying to rank Asian teams.

People don't even know what is GPL(Garena Proleague) where TPA, SGS, SAJ mainly compete. Those that know about GPL probably think that its a league for the noobs. But now I guess after this GPL will draw some more attention.

This series is basically waht I love about pro lol, and what I hate:

1. I love the picks counterplay. This is a meta in itself, and M5 got outclassed in the picks/bans "metagame".
2. I love lvl 1 fights.
3. I hate when teams win teamfights even with massive derpage by them. IN G3 M5 was derping super hard in Teamfights. TPA deserved the win, but I hate derpage in teamfights in general.

not really, tl power rankings were made by people who didnt really follow asian scene that closely, and as a result, was heavily influenced by hype and bias -> ig hype gave ig a super high ranking, no hype around tpa meant a 11th place ranking below all the NA teams lol...

even if tpa is inconsistent, im 100% confident off-form tpa will wipe the floor with any na team and SK in a lan.

But they just swapped commentators (in between games I think).

Hahaha, that high-pitched screaming.

I didn't necessarily disagree, but man, those posts after game 1 about how untouchable M5 is...


The thing is that after G1, M5 LOOKED unstoppable. How could we, as viewer, know that TPA was actually better than what they showed us that G1?

Yeah, like for reals, it's hard to believe that games 1 and 2/3 were played by the same team, it was that much of a stomp.

So, if CLG were to face TPA, I guess they will have to ban Blitz (counters their strat).

Do they have to ban Jayce? Can Wickd handle that with say his irelia?

Against Frost : Its almost certain we are going to see ban on Anivia. Snoopeh might get an Ali ban. Last ban could be wickd's anivia
On CLG's side, dunno what they are going to ban. Probably blitz?

I don't know how well Stanley plays Jayce, but unless it is on some other god-level they really have to take away Nidalee first.

NVM I found the link!!!

As scarra said, TPA got destroyed the first game lol. I stopped watching after the first game because I thought M5 would breeze through the second game.... so I tuned in to watch CLG vs Frost and all of a sudden M5 lost... loll
