Fnatic's draft was very well thought out in taking TPA out of their comfort zone. The questionable play from TPA can be attributed to their inexperience/discomfort with the champs/teamcomps in question.

That's my point. TPA looked really clumsy those games.
PS. Fnatic played very well though. Not going to take that away from them.

As a TPA fan, I have to say TPA played really bad and threw early game advantages. That said, Fnatic drafted and played extremely well. They were able to get their Vayne quite fed both games despite her being very behind early on both games. Fnatic also drafted very smart by making TPA (namely Toyz) play champs he's didnt seem comfortable playing. Games were definitely worth watching.

As much as I like clg.eu, I think WE is looking really strong. Going to give it to them.

I don't really think TPA played particularly poorly, they just didn't play as exceptionally as they did at s2 worlds. Fnatic played very well and won deservedly. They were organized, focused and intelligent throughout the series and their performance shouldn't be downplayed with the excuse of their opponents not playing well. Part of that after all has to do the Fnatic's performance as well.
The games were quite enjoyable from a neutral perspective.

Since everyone's just quoting my post ... I'm just going to point out, I only meant Fnatic played well. TPA didn't, respectively speaking, (Especially if you compare it to their game against M5).

If WE loses, it's going to be because of the psychological factor of having lost to them before putting them on tilt.
Hopefully their nerves are more stable than that, but no guarantees.
Also, the discussion yesterday of where Chinese second-tier teams placed in relation to NA/EU is kind of hilarious looking at today's results. Pretty much any second-tier Chinese team has better results vs. Korean teams than TSM does, and TSM is still definitively one of the top 3-4 NA teams. Depends on what you think are tier 1 / tier 2 teams for NA / EU. I think TSM is a tier 2 team when taking NA / EU together. Course, NA LoL is just sad.
Yesterday the conversation was specifically about whether NA mid-tier teams were better than Chinese mid-tier teams. Since pretty much everyone is okay with saying that WE and iG are better than the top tier NA teams.
But considering the top tier NA teams consist of TSM (who have been slumping hard since S2 Finals), Dignitas (who didn't even qualify for IPL5), and CLGna (who look the strongest of the NA teams atm but have had a really easy road thus far)...yeah...
You're right though, the NA scene is pretty sad. Wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese teams that aren't iG/WE are better than, or just as good as, CLG/TSM/Dig.

Apparently TL did an interview with locodoco? The link isn't the interview itself but it references loco and Hot_Bid trying to troll him.

chauster on the last teamfight in game 3
"What was going through your team's head during game 3 against curse EU when you guys decided to go for the inhib, knowing it come down to a team fight to win the game? wanted to force because doubelift had GA and LP?
-i was like were going to win the game here because our tema owns. then our team misplays like assholes and we win by 1 hit because everyone played like shit"

Ahh, yesterday i skipped all the matches after the first, so i didn't see the TPA... TPA 2:0'd :O Now we only need the miracle from CLG.EU, and we can still have the M5 vs EU grand finals.

Azubu Blaze vs M5 - CLG.eu vs WE
Today going to be epic!!!!!!!
|
Just realized something....TSM played the exact same team comp for both games vs. CLG.EU yesterday. Seems like a pretty bad idea.

It wouldn't be a bad idea if the team comp was any good.

We'll have an M5/Eu finals when both teams are actually playing well enough to look like they deserve to be in the finals.
CLG.Eu simply didn't play well enough at World Champs to deserve to be in the finals. You didn't get robbed of anything. M5's play here has likewise not been up to what I expect from a finals team. CLG.Eu's hard to call because they've pretty much only played clown teams so far, and WE is their first match against a team that's remotely a contender.

Lol pls no best of 20 with CLG EU vs WE again just end it in 2 please. PLEASE
