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

Fair warning to all.

No need to shit talk the power rank. They explained the reasoning why they were so low in the power rank. TPA slumped for months after destroying everyone. No one knew if they'd be on form or if they'd just continue their slump.

Fun fact, if TPA wins and you put money on them on digibets you'd have like 39:1 odds iirc. lolol.

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.


It seems that way. I mean their hype is like a fucking roller coaster, OMG SO GOOD----> SLUMPING HARD-----> Playing awesome in world finals.

TPA!!! TPA!!! Welcome to asian LoL M5!!! Now let's hope Frost wins for KR/Taiwan finals! I'm curious if people will bring the hype for an all asian finals. Will all 10k people who bought finals tickets show up still and will stream numbers stay strong?

Hypothetically, not like it actually happened.

Basically saying the ones famous for flashy aggression tried to take it to lategame and got beaten at their own game by aggressive play.

my point is that hype should never ever go into a power ranking, and why good power ranking are hard to compile because it actually requires very in depth knowledge of all the teams you're trying to rank ;o

even the TL BW power rankings have had spectacular fails due to hype influence. it's unavoidable, but still...pretty disappointed in the tl power rank lol

Who voted no on recommending this match? Are you on drugs?

All strangle holds are god damn boring to me. Only "bearable" outcome is to have the pressured team win, because it usually involves bold plays and solid, consistent performance during the whole game, while the opposite is just a snowballing fest of slow, annoying and foreseeable safe pressuring.
Also Anivia games borring as fuck in my book.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

I am itching to play Nidalee top lane again. Chalice first on AD Nidalee made my brain blow out the back of my head, but it makes so much sense on paper and Stanley showed it works in the game as well. Amazing play.

People will show up since those that bough tickets most likely play LoL themselves and players love to watch high level play. Keep in mind that Korea broadcast this on TV channel which will get huge viewers number if Frost get into the final.

If you ever consider compare LoL viewers to Dota2, don't even bother, LoL wins for sure.

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.


given how good that nidalee was, im guessing he either he's been keeping nid skills hidden, or his jayce is the pre-nerf version.

I don't know about that. Reading the posts by people who are familiar with the Asian scene, most of these people felt TPA >= WE, and that both were above iG. SAJ was rated at the bottom, but probably a challenge for CLG.na and Dignitas and even with SK. TPA and WE definitely deserved the top half of the PR, but were below M5, CLG.eu and Frost for sure.
