I guess it's not that easy making the right decicions in a game like this, with so much at stake.
Armchair GMing right here. That's what we do as forumers. Look at it this way, if they want to become professional players and get paid to do this shit, then they should be able to make tough decisions in crunch time. That last game between TDT and EG was basically a bunch of people playing solo queue and trying to throw time after time.
Plus, NA needs to step their game up. If we continue praising them as we have been in the past, they'll just continue to be content and be second fiddle to all the Asian teams who are actually winning tourneys right now.
I'm fine with armchair quarterbacking, that's part of the fun. But keep it manner and not too inflammatory.
cat8, total donk move to be bot lane farming that 200 gold. But I don't want people calling cat8 a shit player for that move.
There's a line. Warning has been made up top.
People should lower their expectations a bit. I don't even thinking about compare OGN to this. Since TSM, CLG, DIG can't even come close to Azubu. Any effort to compare these 2 events are just too nit-picking.
Just take it easy. We are here to spot new talents people .
I honestly think it's fine to criticize poor play. As long as it doesn't become a personal attack, criticizing bad play should be fine. I think there's merit to pointing out misplays, how someone didn't do something they should have, poor builds, etc.
GGU picking at lightning speed every game. They seem to have hand-tailored strategies for every team (or at least every game). Hope it's preparation and not some kind of "pick whatever we are good at" mindset.

Yeah, that warning top is a bit silly. It's a pretty strong jab vs the NA scene :<

Exactly. I'm sure there are a ton of newer players watching LCS (holy shit viewer count) and pointing out bad plays is great for the community. Not all mistakes are as blatant as the cat8 bot one.

There's a youtube stream, let me dig it up
The good thing about these qualifiers will be Curse stomping everyone. I honestly think they are #2 team in NA right now. We'll see. The thing about League (feel free to disagree) is that it's more about making mistakes than making ''skilled'' plays, which explains a lot of the negativity around here. I think I've only seen 2 skillful things while watching both streams, which were ninten's bottom Elise gank and that shen lvl gank top lane (from tdt)

Considering how often teams seem to be picking "OP" champs without playing them to there potential i think picking what your good at is actualy a really good strat to go for.
