Holy shit, Lulu ult saving Yellowpete, and there go Fnatic's hopes.

@Redox: it annoys me because we never hear anything even when Fnatic actually makes a beautiful play, while the singlest, simplest, tiniest thing from CLG ("hey look, there haven't been somebody bot for 30+ seconds, yellowpete walked there with the big wave and took the last 200 hp of the outer tower") is met with cheers and applauds that you'd only hear for big plays in "normal" games.

Fnatic started with such a huge advantage and CLG.eu managed to win convincingly. I don't have much hope that Fnatic can win game 2...

clg just executes teamfights better.

This is nice in this order

Also, Fnatic was good, but CLG just outplayed them.

Whats the problem with that? Audience bias in sport is normal and in my opinion a good thing.

This is true. If it would be unbiased that would mean no real emotions there, just clapping your hands because its polite. Bias is a natural consequence of these stuff.

Malphite ban by Fnatic. Good choice, I felt like they couldn't handle the hard engage from Wicked in the last game.

Now it's Wickd on Irelia, i'm not sure Fnatic really thought about what they got themselves into now.

fnatic's comp looks really scary, but not early game oriented and we know how teams fare when they plan to go lategame vs clg.eu :D

Diana E into amumu+Zyra ult sounds really scary though

There's a difference between cheering for your favorite but recognizing good plays from their opponents too, and getting excited over the most insignificant stuff as long as it's done by your favorite and ignoring everything the other does, even when it's beautiful.

I dunno, as I've seen the crowd acting till now, I wouldn't even be surprised if they stayed silent and apathetic if Fnatic won by crushing CLG with beautiful play (won't happen, but imagine it). That's basic respect to acknowledge when somebody played well. I don't like CLG.eu's playstyle and the borefest they create, but I don't deny them that it's effective, nor do I go all "feh!" when they actually move their asses and do something beautiful.
