I expect to see a revitalized Blaze team today, yesterday was surprisingly bad for them, farewell TSM. CLG.na has a good chance at beating Curse.eu. Expectations were never very high for the NA teams anyways. We will accept our overlords. IGN will ease the pain by playing sexy kpop videos for us to welcome them with open arms. | ||

Is it that much of a difference with NA/EU in mentality? And what's the difference with KR teams? Don't just say stuff like that and leave us hanging :3 @Irave: Maybe Crs can get through to loser's round 3. CLG.NA and TD to get there. Maybe even round 4, their opponent in round 3 is most likely Fnatic. TSM is going to be out after round 2, just like FeaR/MP. I'm very stoked for TPA vs WE (has to happen!) & M5 vs AZB. After the first day I have a hard time seeing any other teams in the finals than TPA/WE though. Both look so solid, with WE possibly looking even stronger than TPA does. Prediction for today: SGS - IceLanD: 2-0 SGS. I think IceLanD is going to choke again. It would be nice if they could take it, they've shown some good plays but choke so damn hard. Crs - TD: 2-0 Crs. I rank pretty much all of Crs higher than TD individually (jungle is a tossup with Saint underperforming). If Saint is an idiot again, TD might take it 2-1 or even 2-0. AZB - BB: 2-0 AZB. Will give AZB some much needed momentum for their next match against TSM. FeaR - MP: 2-0 FeaR. FeaR should be able to take this without that much trouble. Crs.EU - CLG.Prime: 2-1 Crs.EU. No way I'm not going to give this to Crs.EU. Such a solid showing in group stages. You can argue C being a weaker group overall than B, but that doesn't make up for CLG.Prime playing pretty bad throughout group stages. TPA - Fnatic: 2-0 TPA. Even though Fnatic didn't do that bad against WE, I don't think they can take a game off TPA. Stanley vs Soaz is definitely a lane to watch though, both of them generally perform well. M5 - FeaR: 2-0 M5. Yeah. Doesn't need much explanation. TSM vs AZB: 2-0 AZB. Following the momentum from their win against BB, AZB should roll over TSM who are probably pretty down right now. | ||

Don't just say stuff like that and leave us hanging :3 Morning Doctorbeat, since I'm awake 30 minutes before I planned (scumbag brain), I'll answer a few questions. As for interviews, I'll have to talk to staff about it. I'm not sure what the best way to conduct an interview is and I don't feel too confident (yet) to conduct one pretty much on a fly while we're here. I've gotten a good feel from TPA Jason and he speaks passable English to the point where we can converse well. WE's manager has minimal English though. I'm going to try to get their Skype contacts today. What EU teams would there be interest for? Mentality is a huge issue. EU walks and talks with a lot of swagger and it feels like they can back it up. e.g. while shadowing nRated and Rekkles to get food before Day 1 games, we talked and they seemed really confident after winning DHW. WE (who I still think most of the LoL community is clueless about but only starting to realize their potential [thanks Yango]) was their first opponents and they were very optimistic. Now that optimism might not have translated into a victory for Fnatic but their attitude is superb. While Fnatic was setting up, Cyanide was trolling nRated with "I can't hear you! I can't hear you!" over voicechat. Blaze melted down after their game vs WE. Body language said everything. Their faces were utterly defeated and I honestly think they were on tilt when they played Fnatic. But this is Blaze we're talking about, my pick for top 1-2 in KR along with Frost. I know they will pick it back up. Anyways, this is just glimpse of Day 1. I'll probably write a lengthy blog post when I return home. There's much that happens behind the scene and I'm eager to share that experience with TL. On November 30 2012 23:53 Caphe wrote: Tell us about it!! Also, how big is stanley really is? Stanley is huge. Nothing negative about his body size but he's one of the players who we had to adjust the physical settings for so he could get more comfortable. Raising up the monitor so he wouldn't have to hunch over. He consider sitting on a box crate on the side stage before we could find him a shorter chair. He's a massive gent. Oh, and he's always talking about food, lol. Lilballz and Mistake rag on him for that. | ||

Regarding the EU teams, I think most of us know CLG.eu, Fnatic and M5 well enough atm, and they get lots of attention already. Crs.eu would be my pick for an interview. Not really new on the scene, but a fresh lineup, a sub playing and their ups and downs in the latest results make them very interesting. And so sad for the Blaze guys. Do you think the Koreans underestimated WE too? It was pretty obvious in the game vs Fnatic that they were on tilt. It's a pity really, Blaze has huge potential, but it really seems like they're a bit out of the game after they kicked Reapered and took in Flame. Let's hope they can rebound. | ||

Team emblems are what the teams provide. It's not like we (the community) adopted the blue and black CLGs because we wanted to. It's what they actually use. There's no separating emblem between Crs.na and Crs.eu. On December 01 2012 00:16 HazMat wrote: Neo I think we're interested in Chritina Vee the most. She melts nerds. I think she's attractive too.

Koreans don't underestimate WE. If there are teams who know exactly what WE is capable of now, after their roster change, it's definitely other Asian teams. Also, regional camadarie is on a really high level. WE manager knew Blaze underperformed and literally walked over to the Blaze coach to talk after the game. WE manager wished Blaze a better performance tomorrow and knows they're capable of better. | ||
