all i know is both these teams are entertaining as hell. You just dont get this from NA scene

unless gambit makes a huge mistake, I think that merc treads buy by MF sealed their loss.

GG takes this game, thats way too much money to spend on zero damage for a protect team

Merc treads is for nasus's cripple. If you think that was a bad buy, you're dead wrong.

You know they changed the merc treads interaction for wither a long time ago right? its nowhere near as good of a counter as it used to be since it continually renews lol.

doesnt even matter though since genja still doesnt have last whisper and isnt doing much damage.
I come in for the scraps

omg I love these picks. Haha hope these are good games.

KT B already impressing. GG looks a bit off from KT B's strats. However, very crisp from both teams so far, GG just a slight step behind.

PS. WTF is this bias? Both foreign teams and GG gets such a higher cheer despite KT B's more innovative picks. Racism too strong =\.

... may be because koreans are never underdogs? brazilians get less cheer in soccer not cause of racism but because its much more fun when others win


Koreans are never underdogs? Personally I thought GG was the slightly stronger team coming into this since KT B's been together for like two month and GG is established.

Korea is the Silicon valley of e-sports. its a tiny country with a lot of people. so even though they are not more talented by any measure they have much more talent concentration. and the experience from BW cant be undersold, knowing HOW to practice and having 10 teams within a driving distance is amazing. Gambit is effectively alone in RUssia and are forced to practice on others people schedule many times from Korean and wester Europe (they complained about it in interview)


Russia's not exactly strangers to E-sports boasting strong CS teams and RTS players from a range of popular RTS. In addition, Russian work ethic is very similar to Asian work ethics due to cultural and historical reasons.

.. our work ethic is such that our soccer players got drunk before a deciding world cup qualifying match cause of a bday and proceeded to lose it to a much weaker team. Russians are by far more European than asian for cultural and historic reasons (until 15 century we had no asian holdings, we had Westernization but never easternization). RUssia is also freaking huge so our players are thinly spread out. i am saying that having 100-120 lol players of high caliber within a spiting distance is invaluable for making teams that work well together (just look at the amount of player movement on Korean teams, they move until they find the right combo).
So.. this Earth, nice planet you might say- WRONG!!

Is it alright if I believe that you don't know the game as well as you think you do?

This game isn't over already. I'm sorry, you're wrong.

Err ... I'm talking about general work ethic but I'm not going to get more indepth like this. This is not the thread for this.

Gragas mistakes are really costing GG them the game. First teleport on blue buff and now knocking Zed the wrong way.
