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

I doubt there is 12 things, but basically everything went bad for CLG that game.

Yes, CLG's picks were actually pretty solid imo. Its just that after the flashes lvl 1 they had no presence in lane or throughout jungle whatsoever, resulting in passive play and lost lanes. CLG had better lanes on every lane, but Hotshot and Jiji lost Flashes at level one. No ganks, and mid has to play extra carefully, not abusing Vladimir's weak earlygame. Yorick could get blue, so Diana can't just smash him into the tower and slowly run him out of mana. Graves/Lulu pushed bot, and Corki expertly froze it. Consequence: early game lost instantly for CLG. Edit: > 400k viewers on english riot streams, ~25k on Garena. Not even counting Korean, Chinese and minor european streams. Wow.
Alistar's double pinks clearing away all of Lulu's wards had quite an impact on bot/the blue invade, too.

I dont see why people are so confused by CLG.NA. They have not been practicing. They kept streaming soloQ. even going as far as to do a minimum of 8 hours a day per person. This is TERRIBLE practice for the biggest tournament of your life.
I was making this point to a friend of mine. The NA scene is currently torn between conflicting priorities. TSM/CLG et al make megabucks streaming all the time, but being an entertaining streamer is fairly exclusive with the sort of practice/drilling/strategizing that's required to be competitive on the world stage.
Yeah, they aren't pro LoL players, they are pro LoL streamers at this point. Which is arguably even more profitable and safe than trying to win big tournaments.. Whatever works for them, I suppose. If there's a big enough fanbase it doesn't matter if your content is good (I can draw parallels to big Youtube "let's play"ers like Tobuscus or Pewdiepie), you can make a pretty good living doing that.

Europe is the only chance we got against Asia ;_;

how come the crowd looks so empty?
i thought tickets were sold out for the playoffs. i think they sold out before the championships did.

I know it's not the best time but still the crowd is so tiny, I've seen minor european lans with more people than that. Not to mention the OGN spring final, Taiwan & EU regionals which all had 5k+ in the crowd.

if clg plays like that again, they're gunna lose a fan...
that was so badly played out. what have they been doing after regional? They've been too busy solo queuing and streaming, rather than scrimming. I mean seriously, they have fucking gaming house, and CLG.eu to scrim with. they also have clg.black to play against as well.
embarrassing performance. Should be ashamed imo. Probably had to much fun in their new gaming house? Giant frat houses have poor win rates in esports.
Curse improved quite a bit when they were living in Hubert's million dollar apartment. TSM was winning every lan while rooming up in NY house (though they did have weak competition)

The ones that blew flash were cassio and mundo.Mid wasn't subjected to any jungle pressure early on at all,matter of fact jiji was trading with vlad constantly.
Mundo just runs around and farms early,not like he's going to suddenly flash and kill someone early on.
CLG lost because bot lane got crushed and when Dlift gets crushed CLG looses.
Not to mention the countless times someone on clg gets caught.

People get up in between games. You're planning to watch 12 hours of LoL, you really want to be at your seats all day?

Can we not completely shit on CLG for losing? I don't like them either but don't shit talk them about not caring and whatnot because they played bad their first game. the problem wasn't just that they played poorly, it's that they're making mistakes that they made back in regionals. there was no improvement at all in their play. jiji still plays passive as fuck, he's like the only ap mid in the pro-scene that isn't confident in 1v1ing the enemy mid. he only gets kills when it's a teamfight, or obvious 2v1 fight that they can win. hsgg played full derp entire game, knew botlane getting camped, didn't really do anything all game, fail ganked top more times than i can count, didn't offer any botlane support. Only got 1 decent gank from super greedy ass alistar trying to dive onto Cass. chauster probably hte only one not derping that entire game, had very awesome ulti usage, and was able to kite really well.
also felt that chauster did some clutch moves
