And NA/EU have had their share of low kill games. they also failed to play the correct way and just decided to stall the game longer by going mid to defend to put themselves in an unwinnable situation | ||

By giving a bye to a team considered worse by Riot than some of the group stage teams just to keep the region it represents in the elimination phase, you actually make them play fewer games and get less exposure. If Gamania were in the groups, they would play a minimum of 8 games as opposed to a minimum of 2 games which is very possible in the current system. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind having some exotic teams if they didn't play so many games in a short span like Mineski and GG.eu. I wish they'd use the IPL5 system, it was by far my favorite out of all the LoL tournaments so far. Or at least a classic 4 groups of 4 into single elimination if they don't like double elimination. IPL 5 probably still the most epic LoL tournament to date imo. Obviously the metagame is more entertaining now, but that tournament felt like what Season 2 Worlds should have been or even better. | ||

IMO, because of the "lack" of balance, IPL5, actually have abetter metagame. | ||

Biggest disappointment of the tournament is definitely Ozone and Dade. Dade needs to get his shit together. | ||

Fnatic hasn't lost to Gambit since the Summer Season finals. Not to mention they stomped Gambit really hard already in the first round of groups. | ||

Especially if Gambit picks something wonky and Fnatic loses; the debut of jungle karma Fnatic just steamrolled Gambit | ||

Vulcan has a decent chance of beating Ozone in any case. They can still go 5-3 and make it out of the groups (realistically tiebreak with Gambit). | ||

It's not just cuz they are EU. Because they have Gambit's number, they pose less of threat if they were to ever meet again in the upper rounds. Whereas against Ozone, even though they beat them twice already, there's more uncertainty. | ||

If they do beat fnatic, either way, there will be QQ and accusations cause ppl are jelly and petty | ||

But nothing I have seen makes me think they can beat Gambit+ Show Spoiler + twice+ Show Spoiler + in a row. | ||

It's well-known that any foreigner couldnt find practice partners in KR due to people leaking replays (in sc2 that is). So I won't feel ashamed if Fnatic throws the game to Gambit. Lol? Not sure how anyone could ever say this. It's pretty fucking disgraceful for either side. But yeah, blind fanboyism can make people retarded I guess. And what you said was pretty much a lie. | ||
