It doesn't matter if CLG EU would have won the next twenty games in a row, World Elite had crushed them in a BO3 series, then were robbed of their victory due to technical issues, and from that moment on the games meant nothing. The psychological pressure, having to expose more strategies than you should because of the constant re-games, the crowd cheering for the enemy team despite the obvious injustice handed to you, and Riot forcing you to play for hours on end in the worst circumstances possible despite all the issues changed everything. I was very impressed with the members of World Elite for not making a huge deal out of the injustice they had been dealt with, and respect for that to this day. You make it sound like clg.eu didn't go through any of that, with the exception of everyone cheering against them of course. Both teams played for a loooooooong time, and both exposed champions they picked in the third game. Both had a week to prepare something new. | ||

I think that's partially because WE was in the lead when the second game crashed so they could have gone 2-0 and instead they got the extended mess it ended up turning into. | ||

Both teams played for a loooooooong time, and both exposed champions they picked in the third game. Both had a week to prepare something new. There's a world of difference in terms of mentality when a team knows they've won the series, but due to circumstances has to start over, and a team that essentially out of the tournament gettting a double elimination setting due to technical difficulties. As far as I'm concerned, World Elite won the series 2-0. What happened afterwards had nothing to do with what the original series panned out to be. Any member of CLG EU with a hint of honesty would have told you that they were more than happy to "struggle" through the technical difficulties due to the fact that the whole situation worked extremely heavily in their favour. This is undisputable to any level-headed person. | ||

Yeah it sucks that WE's bo3 strategy failed but CLGeu won the series. WE definitely looked like they came into it more prepared but CLGeu proved that they were able to adapt better than WE on that day. Not like it matters. If they played again I think WE would crush EG pretty hard. | ||

And WE got their revenge in game 3, or maybe 4 I don't remember there were so many games... Remember, the game where CLGeu was like 40 seconds away from killing the nexus after winning a team fight at WE's base in a 50 minute long game?

If they played again I think WE would crush EG pretty hard. By definition no match is over until it is played to the finish, but we all know what most likely would have happened considering the styles of the teams, the team compositions, and the general momentum of the games. Like I said before, what happened after the technical issues is a mute point to the argument that World Elite should have been the team to go through. It doesn't matter if CLG EU dominated even a hundred games after the first two games, because guess what, it was meant to be a best of three. World Elite didn't have it in them to overcome the extremely unfavourable circumstances handed to them, and CLG EU were good enough of a team to capitalize on that. Nothing more, nothing less. | ||

NA is fairly well liked in China though. (From what I hear so could be mistaken) I heard a fair amount of cheers and such from the stadium during NA plays (though mind you, part of it could be that no one in China thought NA had a chance anyway). | ||

If they played again I think WE would crush EG pretty hard. In the games that CLG came back or stalled for a long time, they had the appropriate team composition to do so. In the game 2 that was remade, WE crushed CLG in laning phase with a LATE GAME composition, when CLG played an early game composition. Not only would their comp scale down as the game went on, but also they didn't have their typical stall heroes like Anivia. They interviewed M5 about the game, and even they said it was practically a won game for WE. | ||
